I recently posted to the complaint and debate forum, some ideas about putting together a compilation of the best of Renderosity artists, to support us, and perhaps find us all some work (those of course, that want to). It was based on a complaint that Colm and I had been to a bookstore, and were checking out fantasy book covers, and took a look at the Spectrum series of books, Spectrum publishes a book, it looks like, once a year, with the best of the best in fantasy, and other categories such as book covers, and even includes unpublished work that is very very good. They also sponsor a poster contest. We were concerned because the authors of the book, although supporting digital art, felt it in no way, could ever come close to the human bond between an artist and client, when the natural medium is used. We got to thinking about our work, which we have just started pushing, and the work of the very fine artists who find themselves here on Renderosity. We suggested this compilation in book form, and congratulated Dillinger for his screensaver. Other ideas, like a CD, and a calendar, both great ideas, were also mentioned. We also suggested starting a forum here on Renderosity that would involve those who wish to do this sort of thing, and finding places accepting work, finding juried competitions/exhibitions of digital work, as well as inviting book publishers, and other successful artist, to come here for a public chat. If anyone is for this idea, please let us know. Syyd and Colm Jackson
