Ah, dastardly, thanks. Turns out I had forgotten there was a theme, so my image won't work for this contest anyway, and I doubt I'll have time to start a new one. But I can assure you it was made with sweat and heart. Hmmm. I don't think I've ever seen sweat on a Poser nude, come to think of it. But then, I don't frequent nude beaches or nude forums either - LOL! (Uh oh, hope I don't get flamed for that.) You know, I don't think I was feeling all that discouraged until I saw all the posts about voting. That's when I realize how incredibly important winning a challenge is to many folks around here. And I understand that. Those power users/artists have worked long and hard to get where they are, and they're entitled to their recognition. I guess I'd just kind of like to see some kind of challenge once in a while where I'd be pitted more against my peers than always against the experts. Even so, I'll keep at it, I promise :-)
