I think the thing that is really frustrating is that unless you are doing pinups, people are really hesitant about looking at your images. It's almost gotten to the point where I don't post a thumbnail unless it contains a beautiful white woman (with the exception of my latest, which has a beautiful black woman). As far as diversity goes, it would be great to have more African American, Hindi, Hispanic, Asian, Polynesian, Native American, Senior citizen, etc textures. I think one of the reasons that there is so many white women in the gallery is because the white textures are more really available in the freestuff. In addition, just darkening a caucasian texture does not make a figure look more ethnic. Lastly, I'll be the first to admit (just look at my gallery) to getting stuck in a rut where it doesn't always occur to me to maybe depict someone who isn't white. It's just force of habit, but I'm trying to step out of it a little more.
