Caught in the Tuna Net

Got #39 in the Renderosity Art Charts as a “favorite artist” for June 29, 2009 through July 5, 2009. Woot! No, no monetary prize for this. A pat on the head is quite sufficient, thank you.

How it happens, if you were wondering (and are really bored):

Renderosity’s Favorite Artists are displayed here after careful calculation of the statistics artists have accumulated in the last week. The base statistic being the number of members who have added a particular artist to their favorites in the last week, also taken into account are the number of images each artist has uploaded in the last week and the number of comments that have been posted on those images, to distinguish the more visited of two artists with the same number of favorites. The featured thumbnails taken for each artist represent the most popular image to-date that each artist has uploaded, as according to views, comments and favorites.

They change the Renderosity Staff Picks on Sundays and three of us from the Virile Noir thread got in this week! Actually, we show up a fair amount. Do go see it! We have images from Kfox, LT Roberts, and myself there.

…is getting an automatic note in the email that I was 9th on the favorite artist chart for last week. Woo! No, no money prizes are associated with that. Buy hey, this is what the automated congratulations says:

Dear nfredman,

This is a notification that you made it onto this week’s Art Charts at Renderosity.com, ranking 9^th on the list of favorite artists! Furthermore, because you were a favorite artist, we featured “Coruanu Cullassen: Woodgod”, which seems to be your most popular image to-date.

What I’m not sure about was why they picked that image, which definitely has not gotten the most views–although I like it just fine!

Thank you, folks! That’s pretty cool.  :^)
