In the four or five months that I've been posting work and hanging around here I can't recall ever seeing an image in the Hot 20 that wasn't an illustration of a fantasy or sci fi-based female. Granted, I don't look at the Hot 20 on anything that could be considered a regular basis, so given the law of averages I'm sure that work in other genres and genders must have been included at some point. Does the JettBoy think that all fantasy/sci fi-based girly illustration is bad? No, of course not. I like fantasy and sci-fi as much as anyone and I just love naked women (don't mind 'em clothed, either), but a steady diet of Frazetta/Royo/Boris Vallejo clones gets pretty damn boring after a while regardless of the quality of the piece or the talent of the artist. I would be much more interested in the Hot 20 if there was even a hint of variety in it.
