Unfortunately, until the providers of the packaged models start making models that are useful in professional illustration type work, you are going to continue to see this bias. I've repeatedly begged, groveled and cajoled here and at DAZ for models that can be used in the project I am working on. The main problem is, there just isn't much of a market for Vicky naked or nearly so in a temple holding a sword. I send out portfolios at the rate of about 10 a week. Any image I have sent as a QUERY for professional illustration contract have resulted in "The art is great but the subject is a little too T&A/Cheesecake for our target market". I have a stack of letters like that at least 2 feet high. Now the ones I have sent that feature Mike, clothed, tend to get a different response. It isn't the PROGRAM that is causing the negative responses, it is the GENRE and TYPE of images that are proliferating that have caused the negativtity. Addtionally, most of the gaming markets are HEAVILY slanted towards male characters. There isn't enough Mike stuff out there to feasably illustrate or produce a high quality game. Again and again I has begged for more Mike stuff and the general response is: Mike stuff doesn't sell. I can point to a huge reason that Mike stuff doesn't sell. It's because the modelers and artists HERE at Renderosity don't USE or VIEW Mike stuff. And the unfortunate result is that The commerical modelers and texturers have limited their products to items that are only posted here in the galleries. My last 3 commerical contracts were for male characters. The limited amount of Mike stuff is going to make it more and more difficult to get commerical contracts for the simple reason is that ALL THE MIKE STUFF has been used. Repeatedly. so how long will it be before those commerical contracts start to get fewer and further between because of a lack of variety? Pretty damn soon I can tell ya. If you want your art to be taken seriously, you'd better start demanding variety in clothing/props/characters that are saleable in illustration. Or take his advice and start modeling them yourself.
