Now I'm not one to worry about the number of hits in my gallery. It's just not a big thing as far as I'm concerned. Anything with more than 75 is cause for astonishment, as far as I'm concerned, okay? So yesterday I posted a new image called "Busted". Not even 24 hours later, 250 hits. This one may actually make it to 400, which I find a laugh and a half, all things considered. Gosh, like maybe those thumbnails work, huh? LOL

I just went to look at your picture and I can't seem to find it. Sharen

Laff - true, true... By way of ironic counterpoint, I present the following: My very first post has no thumbnail but the word "naked" in its title... damned near 600 viewings on that critter. All the un T&A'd images I've posted have damned few hits, while the ones with T&A in the thumbnail (even innocent T&A) do fairly well for some odd reason...) Amazing what a little skin can do, huh? I'm getting to suspect that the galleries are watched less for artistic merit, than to satisfy the raging hormones for a shitload of teenaged boys :/ Oh yeah - excellent image you posted, BTW... very detailed, and the texture was quite awesome. Loved the color transitions especially :) /P

Yep, I see it, very nice, you do really spectacular work. Sharen

Nicely done, VS. ;=]

guess the male pics will never get noticed, like they should, Mikey might as well put his wee winky back in his pants :(

Hey Penguinisto, You hit the nail right on the head and VS, your pic really proved a point. Naked T&A pics seem to be what people are looking for here since they seem to get the most hits....damn, seems we got alot of young oversexed boys and perverts hanging around here (and not referring to the artists that post here).

I, for one have been pretty burnt out on the galleries for quite some time. Sometimes the only reason I go there is to look for a few new naked pics. I'm 52 years old, so forget about the raging hormones of teenagers. And I'm not a pervert. But then I do post here, so according to cherokee69, that rules me out of the pervert category?!

Everyone knows that perverts look at pics of little kids and oversexed young boys use their dad's credit card to see real porn. So that leaves me thinking it is just the oversexed lesbians checking out all the naughy Vicky pics.

Ron, There are 84,032 members here and they all aren't artists or posters, so, ah, why are the others here then..only one reason maybe...and I don't think it's for the "freebies" in the Free Section. You'd be surprised at the number of those people that don't have a gallery of any kind or don't even have an artists page(not even anything for the FreeStuff or Market Place sections). OK, now who's going to be next in line to blast me for those comments. I know your going to.

ROFL - If you hadn't commented on this one here I'd have missed it cause I'd have seen the thumb and kept on going. Like so many others have expressed, the T&A seems to have taken on a life all its own. I like steak. Just don't stuff the whole cow down my throat!

Moo! Oh, hehe... oops. (/me pulls cow back out of Shadow's face...) Heh - this is indeed true - most of those who register apparently hit up the galleries, and sadly, they do it becuase eihter a) Daddy won't let 'em have a credit card to get to all the good porn, or b) when Mom finds that Junior's hard drives are all loaded to the gunwales with this stuff (and mp3's), they can claim that "Mom - it's art!" and largely get away with it. Hell, I've caught high school AP students in my own class trying that excuse whenever I find Poser Gallery T&A on their network drives. 'course, the lesbian theory is kinda cool, too... Don't get me wrong here - on occasion, I dig naked chicks with seductive expressions on their faces. OTOH, I know of a bazillion free porn sites I could hit up via search engine that'll give me as much of that as I can stand. I have satellite TV downstairs that I could load to the gills with Pay-per-view smut that is 40 times better to boot (though the soundtracks on 'em really need work ;) You know? Maybe they ought to have a seperate gallery for T&A, (hehe - "The T&A Gallery!"), sell admittance to the gallery for all non-contributors (no renders outta you in the last month? then it'll cost you $x.xx to get in") and leave the rest of us room for the less sexually charged artistic stuff. Okay, seriously - how about a 'Pin-up gallery' for all the horny bastards? Just a thought. /P

Hey Pen, You couldn't have said that any better....perfect. You have "Hit the nail on the head" as the old phrase goes and it's a perfect fit.

Jeepers, didn't you know that free internet newsgroups will give someone all the real porn they ever wanted? (oops, he blushes, and shuts up.) Hey, I was a frustrated bachelor before I was married.

Hey Pen. I agree, very well said.. oh and btw thanks for withdrawing the cow. :O)

Ya know, Come to think of it, my one nude picture, which I spent like, thirty minutes on, has almost three hundred hits on it. Oh well, if I want people to see the serious stuff I do, I can post two at time, one nudie and one I really spent time on. CG BTW, here is my gallery, many busty chicks and one neeked one! http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=caffeineguy

i can already see new marketplace niche is coming up: "doing naked women thumbnails for gallery needs. you need hits? - we do hardcore".

Oh, Aleks, you may have unleashed a Frankenstein's monster with that one..... :)

lol, just been to marketplace. there is always someone faster... :)

Heads up guys - n gals - my next fifty posts to the Gallery will be naked ladies, or maybe not. No thumbs, so you will just have to click and see, sort of like one of those scratch off game tickets. :O)

Now that sounds like a good solution, Shadow! Go for it. :)

Same thing happened to me. All my images have been viewed 30 to 40 times.. except one. I have made a female Dragon using Valander Land Dragon, breathing fire from her mouth.. and the title of the picture is.. ...TADA! "She is a hot one" Guess what? 75 viewings.. ahahhahaha... Sex with Dragons? no, thanks! ;)
