I am not a fan of Asia either. SteffyZ's new work looks very interesting, but Asia and Yuma and the like just don't interest me. That and I am tired of looking at her. =D We can get thrashed together, Aardvark. =) I have three nudes in my gallery. One has 765 viewings and 16 comments and another has 675 viewings and 14 comments. Those are my two top viewed pieces. The pieces I am most proud of tend to get a lot of comments but very few viewings. Shrug. I don't care. I make art for myself. If someone thinks I am not original, I don't care. I don't find "studies" to be very interesting, personally, although there are a couple in my gallery. I get some great support from people in my gallery and have found a lot of new artists whose work I like by clicking on their names. So if you want more "originality" support the artists who do the work you like.
