I guess that is sorta what I feel as well, barb. It's like they said... using something to create that vision in your mind which in itself is art... but how can you complete your vision by using someone else's textures? For instance, there's this girl at work I'm trying to model, but no matter how hard I try, I can't model her... I want HER.. not Miasma, Alusenthia, Nia, Theresa, BlodWyn, or any other texture I've downloaded. And as much as I try to use any of those textures to accomplish what I originally saw, I can't, because it's just not her. And because I want it to be a surprise I can't exactly walk up to her and say "Can you give me an absolutely pallid expression so I can take a hi-res photograph of your face with a camera I don't own?" It's like just now, when I was trying to recreate a scene I saw in my effed up little head of mine... Poser is not all it seems to be. Why can't I get a girl to sit down like I want her to? Perhaps because I'm an idiot and the only thing I'm good for is getting pictures of nude girls I find online and remaking them into art pieces in a Photoshop that I don't even much own... or getting simple primitives in Cinema (again which I don't even own) and creating "works of art" to see if someone out there appreciates what I do. It is very rare for me to ever be happy with my work. My spider piece, which received the most compliments out of all my works is a piece I detested because I could not get rid of the stupid little cubes under its feet caused by a glitch in the reflection. My favorite piece "The Tear" has gotten absolutely NO comments.. but yet again, it's just a picture of a girl (whose picture was taken by some famous photographer somewhere, an image which is perhaps copyrighted), a wing, and a sword, Photoshoped to hell and back to make it look the way I wanted it to look. My art is horrid, and I'm not happy with it unless someone tells me it looks good. There, I spilt all my guts out to you people... :(
