First of all, congrats to Picky on winning AOM. If anyone deserved this honor, she did. Have you noticed, however, that the AOM winner is almost always an artist that primarily uses Poser and posts in the Poser gallery? I realize that Poser is likely the most popular software with users of this site, but there are lots of talented artists that post in the other galleries only. Yet their efforts go all but unnoticed by much of the community. Wouldn't it be cool to have some sort of AOM nomination within each software gallery & then let the final voting be between the winners of those? It would be a bit more organized than the current "cattle call" nominating we do now, and would encourage people to look into galleries that perhaps they hadn't before. At the very least it could help to get some of the non-Poser artists noticed and recognized for the excellent work they do. Just an idea.

Hi there! Yes I think you are right! I'm a Bryce Artist and I never worked much with Poser, because it is not working correctly on my mac. Much has changed here in the community. But one thing I must complain is that for example your Bryce picture is compared with a poser picture. That is not possible. Each programm has it's own possibilities. I never put humans in my pictures and now nobody does look at them any more. Once I had one picture on the best ratings galery for Bryce on second or first place and then somebody gave me a 9 because I didn't put humans in the picture. I think you can only compare each programm with it's own. So to have equal rights I would say a artist of the month for the most importent galeries would by nice. But I'm really happy that there's a Bryce contest now and we have a chance too, to win without Poser. Sorry 4 the bad english, I'm 17 and german ;-)
