Everyone of us had sad moments about his/her "artist" activity: Den could say that I wrote him a little time ago that Posetteforever is a failure because no one is writing in the forum and that I was in doubt to continue keeping the site alive, but I know that even if there aren't a lot, here I have friends who have an uncommon way of thinking and conseguently, painting and I feel fine with them. Tere are also 3d artist like Ahjah and TDac who are supporting so well our forgotten Posette :heartbeat: ... My two of the newest pictures, "Morina" and "Going Mushrooming" had very, very little hits on renderosity and I had a big displeasure because I like a lot them, I like a lot Morina the fairy and I thought that "Going Mushrooming" was a funny picture for children... I made "the last ride" with two things in mind: to tease all of the "Big Harley Davidson with a naked Vicky riding it" showing how beautiful can be a picture made with free stuff and to play with my beloved Posy :heartbeat: ... Anyway it was enough to show a half naked girl to have about 300 hits in a week (it's a lot for me and my cartoonist style). Talking about you Deviant, I think you're very talented because your ideas are original and the postwork is impressive even if I had to say that your is not my favourite kind of pictures, but I like them anyway because your style is very imaginative. Unfortunately you know that the greater part of the people want sex and naked girls and you can be fully appreciated only from "different" people. The "poser" community is half made of people who made his/her pictures only to promote their store and people who bought all that the market sell, so you can see very beautiful men and women posing for what I don't know without any facial expressions. I look at these picture and want to ask the author the reason why his/her character is there, because if he/she doesn't tell me the story and I've to judge the picutre, it's very, very far from a real masterpiece made by people like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci... I know very little about the quality of what is sold in the Poser stores beacuse I don't buy anything :bigrinnin: ar buy only to support the site... [quote] So what can I do? Nothing really. Quit? In the end, noone would remember. Nothing would have changed. Continue? Still noone would really notice, nor care, and still nothing would change. [/quote] You got the point, if you quit, no one wil notice your protest :-({|= and you can do nothing to change the situation, so I can only suggest you to paint for your fun and to show your pictures anyway. Personally I print the pictures that I like more from my gallery and hang them on the wall of the house, I'm the first fan of myself. I also keep all the picture that I like so much from my favourite's artists to have a smile looking at them. What we can do could be to build a place for the "uncommon poser art" to collect the minds like ours and have fun. I'm trying to do it with this site and the link exchange program (1 link... sigh... and the owner of the site don't know I've linked it... sigh... sigh...). It looks like people are not interested in a non-profit site like this or don't believe I (we) made it not to earn money ](*,) ... Finally DV, it's a pity to stop making pictures for protest, you're your main supporter, made them only for fun, you know smart people are a minority (but Den said "you're not the smart one" :whistle: so it looks like there is a problem...) but they will appreciate your work. Now I'll go to sleep a couple of hours or i'll fall down to the floor... ZZZZ...ZZZzzz.... --------------------------------------------- P.S. Hi Paul Mon, I want to see your 3d works soon :bigrinnin: (YUMH! YUMH! fresh meat !)
