Hola,
I apologize if this has already been covered but I would like the ability to just purchase gallery slots like we can with character pages. I understand that I can just embed the photos onto their page but I like just having the gallery at the bottom for anyone who just wants to glance through the art, versus just having a page with tons of art (Does that make sense?)I understand if this isn't something you want to do, but wanted to bring it up in case there is a chance. I have been at 20/20 for a while now and I have to start deleting pictures I still like to put new ones in :'(

Yes!! An item like page or character slots but for galleries!!
The item could be like a blank canvas 
Hey, neat idea! 
I think this has been brought up before and shot down due to something about server space? I could be wrong though. I know I hit 50/50 a lot with epic and this would be a cool feature I'd make use of for sure.
Honestly, I've actually had to remove some pics from a couple of my galleries because I got art that I liked even more (usually my own work that I did). I would love to have something that extends gallery slots in some form or fashion. o:
This would be neat.
Though! As an alternative, a lot of people make thumbnails and link them to imgur uploads to kind of get around the limitations. I know that not everyone has the art programs or experience to do that, but it is still possible to link to them like:
Outfit Ref. (Art by Ghostiel!)
I also end up incorporating a lot of my art into the layout itself using bbcode, smart cropping, and occasionally resizing to make it fit, which you can do in MS Paint if you don't have Photoshop, etc.
The limit is really frustrating, but art can take up a ton of server space, whereas images hosted off site can be limitless. A one-time fee doesn't necessarily make up for the monthly cost for the use of space. Just takes a bit of patience and elbow grease to make it work!

Good points, but I still vastly prefer RPRs galleries! I usually use the site on mobile and fancy layouts tend to explode. 
When someone makes thumbnails and links them to an external site, I usually don't look, unless there's just one single imgur gallery--otherwise it's too many tabs, especially on mobile. I also looove getting notifications when people I follow post art, and you don't get that unless you use the gallery widget! (I know there are ways to fudge that, though.)
As for space constraints, we are aware!
it's true that I can think of cases that likely wouldn't be cost effective, but I think most people wouldn't utilize it to the fullest. (I would only use it for one character.) There would have to be a cost analysis, and a price point determined based on average characters per person and other factors, etc. But only Kim has that full scope! Hopefully it's just something worth considering

Hopefully it's just something worth considering Everything you just said! I don't click on links myself, and prefer to have a gallery I can just blaze through, and I also enjoy seeing my friends new art as well! I really only want this for 1, maybe 2 characters myself. Heck I'd be willing to pay for gallery space per character to be honest.
Methinks it'd unlikely to be on a per character basis! I think with the way RPR handles character slots, it just wouldn't be viable.
