People renders less male characters because there are really less stuff for male Universe. i really don't think so. if you look at the galleries carefully, you will find that even women render a lot more nude women than nude men, and as lucie said, you don't need any clothes to render nudes. furthermore, whenever i've heard human representational art discussed elsewhere it turns out that, sexual fantasies aside and from a purely aesthetical point of view, people vastly prefer the female form to the male one. i don't share that view, and i wonder how much of it is cultural, but there it is. certain very popular subgenres here have no male component at all -- you hardly ever see any male fairies, for example. no, i'm afraid in this case people prefer oranges over apples, which is too bad for those of us who like more choice of apples. we all just have to learn modelling. :)
