I appreciate that it might not be the easiest thing to combine artistic and 'product display' elements in the promotional shots. To be honest, I think that both of you provide quite informative promo shots - Bluecho's "Bessie Beulah", in particular, combine's full body shots with insets showing specific detail (elbows, hands etc). (OT @ Bluecho - I love the look of Bessie and BE4Birkitta - do you have any plans for similar characters for V4?)
I'm a bit confused about the official space issue, though. There seems to be a big difference in the number of images shown by different vendors - some only have one on the main product page, followed by 2 or 3 'additional product images' at the bottom. Others, seem to show many more images on the main product page and use the additional product images section for detail which requires nudity (Danie and marforno are a great example of this - e.g. their DM's Nanette is exactly the kind of informative approach to promos that I'd like to see used more often).
My only point is really that potential customers need to be able to see what they're buying - if vendors (and renderosity!) are going to ask people to part with their cash, they really have to let people see the product first. This just strikes me as self evident.
