Hey - those are some outstanding compositions. Well - I am a little intimidated by the level of expertise that you all show. I now see how there is no substitute for experience - and a heavy helping of elbow grease (not to mention patience.) I like the P4 Mario image - especially the hair/beard textures - is that a pure Poser render? I have to admit I agree - it seems true with any endeavor - the tools are only equal to what you do with them - (I have yet to get my tools overly dirty yet - so to speak.) One last thing - you all seem to have so much time invested in learning these techniques - I guess it keeps us off the streets - right?
