It's all a matter of taste. There are people who really like to create and stare at the staring figures. I don't know why, but they do. And I am not sure I'm the one to criticize them. The best advice anyone gave here was to ignore the voting, ignore the hits, and do what you most want to do without letting the popularity contest get to you. Frankly I can spend hours and hours on a single graphic and still have it come out looking like amateur night in the Poser lounge. I just don't have the ability of other people here. Speed doesn't mean lack of ability. Spending time on a graphic doesn't necessarily result in quality. It's just different levels of skill for different people. We have to accept that people with wildly different interests and abilities are trying to coexist in the same gallery, and the result is going to be a little chaotic. But there are some very interesting graphics being posted. Sort through the identical pictures and you can find some thoughtful creations. That's what I wish we would focus on. The Vickys in the Temple get all the advertising. Why not do more promoting of the original spirits on the galleries?
