Okay, im not really sure if this would be the place to put this post, but I didnt see any better place, so....here goes. This is not my usual account and name. I made it so that I can freely say what i need to say, and pull no punches. I am hurt and disappointed in Renderosity. I feel as though i am back in high school, running for a popularity contest. In all my time here on rendo, and trust me its been a while, i think i have maybe gotten 4 truthful helpful comments on my work. yes all artists love to hear you like their stuff, but it rings hollow when you see the same person saying the same things on EVERY image in the gallery. It makes me feel less like a part of a artistic community that i joined and more like a little school girl/boy who gets their butt kissed for a vote, or a free item, or more comments. I go often to the top 20 and see the same stale images, over and over and over. every now and then a unknown will be seen, but quickly gets dropped off the list. I think the vote process of the top 20 is worse then the ballots in florida. I would like to see a impartial jury of my peers once a week vote on the top 20. I would like to see some of my favorite little known artists get their day in the sun, and the props they deserve for the original and creative pieces they share with this community. I would like to see a image that needs work, filled with comments to better that artist....not stunning! beautiful! excellent! and then see that image in the top 20. I truely dont believe the top 20 reflects the best of this site. If i knew that the top images on this site and the most favored artists were already pre-destined...i wouldnt have joined. i understand that tastes vary...and im damn sure they vary past those very same stale images that are always on the top. lets see something new! lets see something original! lets be honest! rant over. to all those who speak what we all think out loud, thanks, and very courageous!
