Paul, here's the thing... at least, from my POV. I like a lot of the people here, but, like you, I find the marketplace increasingly... skanky (I hope I can say that here. You cant at the DAZ fora, you know). But (no pun intended) emphasis on putting the tits out there — no matter what kind of outfit you may have on sale, apparently the only way to properly showcase it in the MP is with a thumbnail that's cropped between milady's throat and ribcage. The newsletters have gotten such that they look like those hooker magazines one can find all over Vegas. And when the new galleries were fired up, I was appalled to see that the images Rosity thought I (as a gay man, you understand) would like to see were photos of naked blonde chicks. Apparently this was the default until the algorithm had something to work with, but even now, when I go to the MP and I see what's "recommended", I start to wonder who programmed this site because I really have zip interest in teeny little negligees and morphing "see her strip for you!" underwear. If it's all a phase, as someone suggested, it's been a phase for a really long time. If you want a real giggle, look at the image that has the absolute, all-time most views. It tells you a lot.

But the great thing about the internet is that there are a lot of places to post your images now. I put my cartoon on about six sites in addition to its home page. If you havent checked out glossom,com, I suggest doing so. A lot of really good stuff happening there. Behance is another one, and the beauty of both is that they're still small enough that you dont get drowned in the onslaught like you would at DeviantArt. They're not Poser or DS exclusive, but that just makes things more interesting, IMHO, and you;ll find plenty of inspiration that goes well beyond NVIATWAS.
