Now for the reality check. .... Look at the huge amount of time Zev0 takes to make things. On the example above, that city took nearly 6 months. Next look at the piccy showing this months figures. Bit of a difference there! Question is why? Theres the seasonal factor, it's just after xmas. Also unlike 2010 we're now in a serious recession where poser content is a luxury for most folks. That lack of sales means lack of income, but the household bills havn't. If anything those costs have increased. So like Zev0 - and many others - that means more one than job. Plus I also believe in supporting the people who support me. So now there more time spent on freebies and less on products. On average 400-500 artists download 3-4GB of freebies every 48 hours. But less than 3% buy. You also need to consider how the poserverse has changed recently. The big sites are also suffering - and WITHOUT debating that here- theres been big rule changes which make it a lot harder for independent artists to promote their work. So you'll need to find other ways than the forums to market your work. Please don't get me wrong here, I wish every artist success, however you do need to be realistic.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
