Hi, my name is Compiler and I am a Poser addict. When I was a boy I used to collect plastic soldiers. I had quite a lot, but I always needed others. As a teenager I bought many model kits and filled my room with planes hung on strings or dioramas on the shelves. Then I went on collecting role-playing games, many more than I ever will play with in my whole life. And there were the mini figures, tin and lead representations of heroes, monsters and armies, that I won't ever have time to paint even if I should start right now as a full time occupation. After that, I started collecting girlfriends, and this was the most expensive hobby I ever had, but it prevented me from falling into the "Magic" madness. Today I have a respectable day job and a family that I love. At night I often feel the urge to buy things that don't even exist, virtual representations of latex lingerie, medieval stone building or futuristic robots and aliens. I sometimes produce a picture that can pass for vaguely artistic, but the modest quality of it is no justification for the sheer amount of money I invested. It can barely pass as an excuse. It would take me half an eternity to make an image with each and every item that resides on my computer, provided that I don't lose them all in a hard drive crash. And you know what ? I'm happy.
