Seems like people are confusing two kinds of criticism. One is the criticism of art as art...and for that, it is not necessary to know how the graphic is created but evaluating a graphic on the basis of any artwork. Yes, a watercolor artist can comment on a sculpture. I see no reason that an oil painter couldn't comment on a Poser graphic even if they didn't know how to turn a computer on. The other is criticism of technology. An expert at Poser will recognize that a person has done something unusual or original with a Poser graphic because of the technical difficult of doing that thing with a program that has some inherent limitations in it. What few criticisms I've seen of TigerShark's seem to perfectly fit in the first category. The ridiculous notion that only people who use Poser should be allowed to comment on Poser graphics is very narrow minded and self limiting. Just as an oil painter can learn about light and shadow from a water colorist, or form from a sculpture, a Poser artist should be able to be open to suggestions from someone coming from another point of view. But of course many people want to do basically the same graphic over and over again to the anticipated and predictable applause each time. If you only want a standing ovation, then you should say so up front on your graphics. And,of course, knowing your audience's tastes and meeting them is why the gallery has so many identical looking pictures, but originality and imagination has nothing to do with this. And if you can't take criticism, turn off the comment area. In fact, I'm going to do that now to get off this thread.
