please feel free to copy and send this letter if you agree.

Excellent letter, I agree compl... Your work is fantastic & cool image. I love the bg ... PS I will ... Antonio.

AWESOME dedication to our Calum. You know how strongly I feel about this whole troll thing. Excellent artwork++++

Really wonderful and imaginative image, super texture too..like the shiny look. Fantastic as always..

How is it that voting in any public forum brings out the worst in people? If its not the Hot 20, its the national elections for president, and so on and so forth - it seems to me that every time the word vote is mentioned, someone always feels slighted in some way - some less vocal than others. Perhaps voting here should be done away all together whether it be on personal images or the AOM - somehow someway someone is going to be hurt for it. Thanks for sharing the letter, hun, and I second the motion - the image is awesome tho S love the Harlequin look to it - oh BTW which figure is this - the Girl?? S and my heart goes out to those whom this voting thing has hurt in the past and in the present as well

Beautiful work of art you have created here. Love the tone you've set with this piece outstaing use of shadow & light. Please! Please! tell me more about the creative process used in the production of this piece Excellent work of art

I love this image, the black and white in the figure is quite appropriate in this situation. I'll send out a letter too, cause this thing has to end...

Aaaack! What a creepy girl. I bet she's a real troublemaker and tells really dirty jokes. Well that answer does not surprise me they probaby honestly do not have any solution and if they do they are not ready to implement it yet. Either way people will not be satisfied and there is, sad to say, that 1% that have to be wankers about everything. Let's hope that there is a change. -Excellent artwork!!!

(((Bill))) I am a silent one and every word you've written is the truth..When all is said and done those who cause the problem usually go away. Dudley has brought SO much attention to many artists work out there, mine included. But he's also brought back life to those who would be lost in the 'brown nosing' whohaa.. Mr. Calum, never had the opportunity to 'meet' up with him but this is right up his s alley! Another great one!! Excellent work my friend! Hugs...Tee

I swear, they've been cutting and pasting that same reply everywhere LOL Well I too, wrote them to delete the hot 20. I just cant believe they wouldnt make it a priority, considering all the trouble it causes them. At any rate, this a very awesome dedication and piece of art to one of our best artists. Xcellent work!!!

Great creepy clown Mr Truck, nice touch with the B&W as mentioned...Kool & Cheer's jif3d

awesome morphing!

Great image Bill..Thanks for the copy of letter!!

Very cool character design!! The face looks amazing!! I can't believe so many people get angry over the "Hot 20." I am so tired of the negative vibe around here. Like you stated, they should just do away with it.

so whats with the people voting on this image!?Thanks, but Knock it off!

Excellent image Bill I hope they are looking at a satisfactory solution but if that is a standard reply I doubt it. You never know I guess. Image wise your work is always excellent :) Cathy xoxxoo

Vote - just kidding - though it is very 'vote-worthy'.:o) Almost looks like a guy's face on a girl's bod. i know Cal had his talented ass thoroughly and wrongfully kicked - oh, they always pick on the really good ones. I hope the requests help make some needed changes around here 'cause this really is a great place to share art. :o) CC

We win by not letting them win. (redflame)

Wonderfully Done!

Really interesting textures and composition. Great work. I agree with the sentiment. The Hot 20 is a joke. Always has been. People are just getting upset now that someone important is supposedly upset about it.

Thank you, for making your point Bill. I'm right behind you. I just cannot understand, why these administrators, don't step in sooner and remove the person or people concerned. It must leave a very bad taste in the mouth and especially for Calum and Dudley, whose fine skill as artists, is undisputable. Thank you Bill. Steve :o)

Wonderful work

Personally, I like the voting system becuase you can see some of the top images in each category in a very quick and convienient way. It's certainly not a perfect system however(what system is). I can see why others feel uncomfortable with it because they may feel slighted or underappreciated or get pissed off because they feel people are "stuffing the ballot box". For the most part, the Top 20 images in the Poser and Vue areas are all very good although they may not be "the best". I wish I could think of a better mechanism to bubble up some of the better images such as this museum-quality piece from Bill. After you've been hanging around R'osity for a year or so, people know who the real masters are (such as Bill) - so I guess the voting system is a moot point. I guess I'll leave with a "hanging chad" vote on this one.

Very awesome image and I'd like to take this time to vote for you as someone who is very sensitive and caring for others. I vote for images I love and don't always vote everyday because somedays I am not overwhelmed by anyone's art. I love it all, dont' get me wrong, it's beautiful. I am just honest is all. Yet, we're all pissing and moaning about hurt feelings and nobody should hurt anyone's feelings at all..it's common human sense. May I ask that people take time out from that to say a silent prayer for the people down South.. My family is down there.. one is missing. We can't get any communication to them and I'm just looking for routes from Florida to Alabama that might be open because I've got my sister looking for her kids down there. Thanks Bill I know I didn't ask you if I could use your post for a soap box honey..I'm sorry.

i really dont know what to do so i thinks i will just post art and try not to worry about the little things..Robin you are so right...The top 20 is so trivial compared to what is happening in the big picture.I hope everything will be O.K..i will shut up now..

I agree very stronly with what you say. I was thinking of drafting a similar letter myself. Glad to see you stepped up to the plate to do so.

Ditto that! Extremely creative and superbe dedication to a great person!

Elfenone, My thoughts and prayers are with you and all those poor people caught in the wake of Katrina.
