There is nothing wrong with asking for help. However, there is something VERY wrong about manipulating the galleries to get an image into the hot 20. There are people who have been on this site for years polishing their art. To have so many of your images in the hot 20 that are at the most basic level of poser is a shame. Sone very good advice from a known poser artist. Polish your craft. Learn how to make expressions. Use new models. Explore different lighting environments. Leant to do post work. Stop getting your buddies to kangaroo your images into the hot 20. Until then those of us that DO work hard at making our art better feel nothing but disgust and shame at someone who cheats.
