*quote: I modeled a few non-female non sex orientd pieces, and they get neglected - as freebies or as sale items.
Girly stuff gets a lot more attention, and means more sales for merchants.
I've wrestled with this same thing for all of the years I've been a vendor here too. You'd love to have a much more diversified product line but the customer base drives the marketplace and it's the 'girly' stuff that sells. I hold out for as long as I can with my products and then have to give in to the 'girly' stuff to get the sales I need. It's very frustrating but I don't know what else to do about it. I'd love to make more stuff for the male characters but you know going in that it's not going to make you much money.
I completely understands Sean's complaint though and fully empathize with it. The same thing could be said about the Poser gallery too. With all the emphasis on female-centric images there is a similar drain of creative energy.
