I've been in a five or six genres of the Hot20, including two family oriented character portraits in Poser's. A lot more people get to see your pictures if you are in the Hot20. I consider it an honor that people take the time to vote for mine, but I don't have the false impression that my work is better than the artists that don't make it. People do tend to build up a fan club and in that case, the people do honestly like the work they are voting on, but it takes an unknown artist time to get known. I don't do pictures though to be in the Hot20. If I get in, great, if not, no biggie. Just go onto the next.
