I seek out the artists like Davidho and Dragongirl, the ones way outside the Rsity mainstream. These are the folks who really push the envelope, and I eagerly look forward to whatever new offerings they have. The rest? Well, guilty pleasure: anything by Legume, especially now. A couple of his latest offerings are really close to the edge, but they still give me a laugh. There are others, newbies whose work I'm following to see how they develop and long-time artists whose work just keeps getting better and better. The latest piece from Catharina P (and I know I've misspelled that name) is amazingly realistic: I honestly thought it was a photo that had been loaded into the wrong gallery. Sometimes people send me an IM asking me to take a look, and I'm usually really surprised by the talent (well, like our buddy lalverson here, who directed me to his latest offering, which I really enjoyed, bud -- thanks). Most of the T&A stuff -- well, there has to be something that makes me want to look; otherwise, I just give it a pass. WIPs can be interesting, but not when they're loaded for the fifth or sixth time. The rest? For the most part, it all strikes me as adolescent, a bit. "Oooo, look what I can do, and she's all mine, mine, MINE, YOU HEAR, MINE!!!!!" But that's just my 0.02.
