zhurok, I've never been in the top 20 or any such thing. I don't like unicorns,elves,comic type figures etc. much either, nor do I air brush. Yet,I love fantasy because I can do whatever I want without being constricted by what you call "real life". You say: "Get out of that overdone fantasy genre, and rock the world with something new!" I think I'll stay in the fantasy genre, but if you think my fantasy pics are the norm, I'd have to disagree :-) I believe one can do fantasy or any other genre and be boxed in or step outside the box yet remain in said genre. It's 'their' art and that's really what's important. Dang I do art for me. If someone likes it and it speaks to them,Coooooooool........... Opinions may vary, :-) Strixowl
