heyas; i'm very happy i am on some people's lists... it makes me so proud! ('course after a few recent topics, i'm a little disappointed nobody bowed down to me... ;) ) this is a crazy question. how do i distill into the personifications of a few people the horizons that this community has opened for me? hmmm... bushi and his tutorials, for the arcane art of new figure creation. traveller, for the illustrious art of sculpting the default figures into unique figures. rena, because those textures of hers are almost too good to believe! (plus i like to copy her montage 'ad' style. ;) ) philc, because he puts the real in 'photorealism.' scott, because he keeps whispering all those little secret poser tweaks to me... ;) anton, for the killer dragon and peacock. and anson, because... well, he's just plain weird and prolific. :) beth of capsces for the cat o'9lives; arye guetta, lyne, jackie, picnic, debra -- all the poser animaliers for the wide range of critters available. virus and sixpac for the xenomorph alien. for imagery... bubba is high on my list. silverbranch and guitta (and mostly everybody with vue, whose scenes all look better than mine!). heck, everybody. seeing others' artwork always stirs more creative urges in me. everybody contributes in many ways, and it all rolls up into this gigantic WORLD of information that steamrollers ya kinda like that indiana jones scene where he's running from the boulder trap... ;) thanks everybody!!!
