Ok Jocko. I can to a certain extent understand where you are coming from.

Me, well I admit to being nearer 60 than 16, much nearer. I am not ashamed about that. I have been working on my art for a good few years now, and my CG art since I first got bryce2.

I have made money from my real life art, but only a wee bit from CG. Go figure. I have been a member of rend for a good few years now, and yet this is the first time I have ever made the bryce hot 20, and I am proud of the image that has made it. It took me a lot of hours to get it right.

I still feel that the bryce hot 20 is something to achieve, without a fan club of clone accounts. OK!

I don't often take part in any of these sort of threads, I prefer to stay in the background, but there are times when one has to make a point. Posting an image is one thing, getting people to vote for you is something else. My votes are unsolicited and genuine.

I also admit that today is Sunday (in the UK anyway) the only day I drink anything stronger than coffee. So it could be that which has made me step out of my normal line. Hythshade, this reply could answer a few of you remarks as well, I felt they were demeaning to my art. (this remark on an edit)

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
