Your artwork deserves to be an expression of you, they deserve to be brought forth as the highest of someone's efforts, not as promotional images desperately trying to point you towards spending cash. I think a tiered (or differentiated) gallery would be cool: WIP, Newbies, Mid-level, "Holy sh!t that's good!", top staff picks, things like that.
I know there are some who would like a gallery that allowed nudity in thumnails. Note I said "nudity" not "porn". I know that there have been many complaints from people because they can't show boobs or butt cheeks in their thumbnails anymore. And their art while nude is not "pornographic" in nature it's more along the lines of "artistic nudity", and there doesn't seem to really be a place that's in between for people to post their art IE: nudes but not pornographic.
Also, because of the "no genital region or naked breast contact", people who want to make mild erotica such as 2 people naked and embrassing (not engaged in sex) cannot post their images here because it's against the TOS. However, at the same time they don't want to upload it to a place like Renderotica because sites such as that also allow the extreme.
So something that allows what is allowed here, plus mild erotica where nothing is showing, but does not allow pornographic or S&M type stuff that some other galleries allow, would probably be very welcome by some people.

others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.

angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
