This argument has been going on for a long time and it is a real shame because Epilogue is a really great website and has some amazing artists. I have bent over backwards trying to "educate" the editors about the use of Poser but it falls on deaf ears. When you submit an image you have to say what medium it was created in e.g digital, watercolour, oil etc. If you submit an image created in the digital medium, it should be judged on the quality of the image not whether you use Poser or not.. It's already been stated but this isn't really about Poser per se. It is just about ignorance and fear. One particular debate I had was particularly interesting when I was accused of being a fraud. Why should my image be accepted into epilogue when it took just "one click" to create it and other traditional artists hours of hard work to paint their person from scratch! That statement is one made out of fear and ignorance... simply. I do have a gallery at Epilogue but it is small in comparison to most and the number of rejections far outweight the number of approvals. And the reason I still submit there is that I don't see why I should be disqualified on the basis of the software that I use. My medium is digital and judge me on the quality, composition, etc of my image not my tools.
