That's a very good point on the fan clubs as Rayraz brought up and also that Alvin touched on a bit ago. It's just one of those things that comes with time and patience I think. We'd all like to develop fan clubs of sorts, it gives the artists the drive to continue on with their great work. Personally, I love the works from Alvin, Rochr, Doublecrash, Eyecon, and a few others but I don't wanna name them all here. Those are the ones I pay close attention to, vote on, comment more in-depth on, etc. I think a lot of times it's if the person's work appeals to someone. With Alvin's, his lighting is unreal...and those darn blurry reflections he's able to do on the floors are amazing. Rochr and his cityscape modeling of sorts...texturing is top notch (and who else loves that monkey picture of Corel?!? hehe) I think Doublecrash's interior studies are sweeter than ever (I wanna try my own someday hopefully) and Eyecon with his great Poser and lighting usage in Bryce. The thing that catches me the most about all my favorites is their texturing skills...I'm a texture freak and if I see them making stuff that's almost hard to tell if it's a photo or not, that gets an auto vote right there. Texturing makes an image work, simple as that! I think if you're able to master texturing then you're going to gain a lot of fans. Anyone agree/disagree? MD
