Usually, not a month goes by in this forum without a post by someone who wants to proclaim (for reasons unknown) that pictures made with Poser aren't "art." Or from someone who uses a high-end 3D app proclaiming that Poser is a "toy." I have long made the analogy to photography, largely because it is the metaphor used by most 3D apps. And while Poser is much cheaper than 3DMAX or Maya, it is much more expensive than a pencil and a number of cameras. Moreover, while there are people here with arts and graphics backgrounds, I would not be shocked to discover that some segment of people who work in these fields will reflexively put down work by non-professionals and may even feel threatened by the power that technology puts in the hands of everyone. I'm not saying this is true of the person you showed your work to; I don't know. I do know that in my chosen profession (the law) is largely set up to discourage competition, to the point where some state bars were sued for violating antitrust laws. Go to your gallery, take a look at what others have said about your most recent pictures. It's pretty clear to me that people got what you were going for. Of course, I could argue that you need please no one but yourself, but to the extent that you have been posting pictures to communicate, you are succeeding. Of course, many of us here have plenty of room to improve (I sure do), but that can be part of the reason to keep going.
