Quote - I can say that I'm one the guilty parties with a "dialspin" character disorder, lol.  On a serious note, creating something unique takes time and practice and I'm not knocking that out at all  And you're right:  we're being bombarded with the same things over and over just right here, the only uniqueness I see are from the likes of Aery Soul and Blackharted just to name a few, but an array of the supermodel/girl-next-door/ sci-fi babe types can be done a bit much -- when's M4 gonna get his spotlight? 

As far as being "guilty" don't worry about that.  I was more ranting on the plethora of dialspins then decrying them as not having their place.  It's also a matter of personal preference for me and I wish I had been more clear on that.

Quote - For me, I just made a custom head sculpt of M4 from Hex 2, at least it counts to something.  Man, I would give my right arm to own z-Brush/3D Coat just for making custom morphs or just creating something alone.  But, if I ever try to sell something here, I would like to stand out from the crowd. 

That's awesome!  See?  That's what I'm talking about!  You've actually produced something uniquely yours!  If we had more products like that, containing things that only the artist themselves cold have produced, there wouldn't be as many complaints about how "Everything looks the same."  There are only so many variations on the same theme the market can bear.

Quote - One thing I've learned that this is the "real" world, even with Reality TV, there's always some winners and losers, acceptance and rejection (how well I know rejection in my own life), take it for what it is and move on, I'll say.  That's what life is all about

Absolutely.  And, the wonderful thing is that even though there is rejection in the World, there is ALWAYS acceptance somewhere as well.

Quote - I just couldn't resist Markonan's reply of Cincinnati-style chili -- not to get off topic though, but I wanted to put in my few pennie's worth on the subject.

A roommate of mine in college first introduced me to it.  Cincinnati-style chili on a big hotdog with a mound of finely grated medium chedder cheese stacked so high you can't see the bun and loads of tobasco or, even better, spread over vermicelli with cheese and tobasco... it's like ... awesome! :)
