It isn't art per say in comparison to hand drawn stuff. I never fool myself into thinking my stuff even compares to real hand drawn work. To use an analogy, my work is like making prefab track homes compared to a hand artists making a mansion. 3D is faster, gets a higher quality pic of the time investment and gets readers into art and story faster, that's all. But there is art to posing, setup etc. There is obviously a difference between artists here. But I don't consider this to be on the same par as comic book artist.
