Okay, let me throw this hat into the ring...

I don't think people submit nude Vickies for votes. I have yet to meet someone who actually stated they wanted votes, and would do anything to get them. Of course, people love to get votes, and positive comments, it's human nature, but I don't think people are sitting there thinking "Oh, if I do this nude Vick with a big sword, dripping wet, with big boobs, and nice long red hair I'm sure to get a bunch of votes!"

Honestly, I think it just a matter of style and taste. Everyone sees art forms differently. I for one can't stand "modern art." I think the majority of it is just silly, but that is me, and I am no true critic. In the same line of thinking, when I was younger, I loved Rap music. Today, I still like what I consider "Old School" but I can't stand the new stuff. Again, that is just personal taste. Is it right or wrong? The clear answer to that question is no. It is never right or wrong to like or dislike something. It is human nature.

The thing about nude Vickies I think is this: it is akin to the difference between the ways Spider-Man has been drawn over time. Many Spidey fans think McFarlane was the best artist to have ever drawn the webslinger. At the same time, many people don't. I think McFarlane is the best comic artist ever, but that is just me.

Going through the galleries, and especially through those on my favorite artists list, I have learned one thing. You can find appreciation for anything if you make the effort. The artists on my fav list have very different styles, but yet, whenever I view their work, I am 9/10 times impressed by the total image. Some post realism, which I am a big fan of, but some do fantasy, some do work that is meant to be pretty, some of it is comical, etc. etc.

I guess that is my two cents, but you don't have to listen and or care. That's the magic of having your own personal version of free will! ;-)
