I've never bothered to give any real thought to the Hot20 or Artist of the Month for that matter. In the end what counts the most to me is the constructive comments and support of a small number of people who are interested in viewing my art. (I always love good constructive suggestions for improvement. I hate people who only want to insult someone.) Some people have managed to share their inspiration for the past year and a half. Some have come and gone during that time. I look forward to the inevitable comments, and challenges these people place my way. They keep me striving to get better and better. I don't mean any offense by these statements. I just won't bother to see how many comments I have in my gallery, and I have never cared for the numbers either. I don't even visit the Renderosity gallery that much any more. I always avoid giving any numerical ranking. I will give good comments.
