Hello Fellow Illustrators

I'm an exclusive diamond level illustrator at iStock and have been a member there since 2005. However over the last few months at iStock I've seen my downloads take a DRAMATIC dive. And now with the lowering of commissions and site problems, I'm getting fewer downloads than ever.

Unfortunately for the first time since joining I am seriously considering dropping my exclusivity and moving on to other sites as well. This is going to be a huge and scary move for me because I depend on iStock for over half my income.

So I guess my question is this. Have any of you other Illustrators out there left iStock exclusivity behind and moved on to other sites? If so what sites did you go to and did selling your images at other sites make up for pay cut you experienced when leaving the iStock exclusivity program.

Thanks
