I agree with stewer about the "out of Poser" critics. If you want to improve and to develope in Poser, you can't just tell yourself "ok, that shadow in this image looks bad, but it's not my fault - it's Poser's fault, it doesn't render shadows well". People who see your art shouldn't care whose fault it is - if the shadow is wrong then the shadow is wrong. So try a different lighting, or try to fix it in postwork. You shouldn't allow yourself to be restricted within Poser's limitations. And I'm giving this example, because I do it myself all the time. I look at a picture I created, and I don't always see these little "faults". It's only when I show it to someone who doesn't do Poser, they can tell me "oh, what's that line on her face", and then I see the shadow is wrong. And I have to admit I didn't see the comment on the egyptian queen picture, but on the same note (and hopefully without offending anyone) - do you think middle-east people in Jesus Christ's time looked anything like they look like in all the renaissance paintings? I'm pretty sure they weren't so BLOND. :)
