Hopefully in the next month or so, I'll be doing an art sale at the long term care center where I live. I can't afford to do prints of all my hi-res images so I've been asking several people I know online to pick a few of their favorites. I figure if the same images keep popping up as favorites then those are definitely the ones to get printed.
What I've learned though is that people have widely varied art tastes. I did get a good enough sample that I know which of my images are more popular but there's little consistency in what type of images are popular. I also learned that there is no direct correlation between the difficulty of making an image and its popularity.
I'll post some samples below to illustrate what I'm trying to say. Three of the top ten choices were done in Terragen so I will not be posting those.
Note: None of the people picking favorites were 3D artists. A couple were traditional artists and a few were photographers but the majority were your average Joes and Janes.
