Elgyfu: I don't know that I can offer any more excellent advise than what you've already been offered by everyone else. I'm still new to Poser and find I spend most of my time getting excited about new products, buying them, rearranging my runtimes to keep them under 10G and then being out of energy and time to do anything productive with the products! :) I also spend way to much time in the forums!! :) Pdxjims is right.....you have a real talent for character study and composition. I loved "What is it"! As a cat lover, I think you captured their curious nature beautifully and in a very humourous manner. "Night, Night" is such a very sweet image and I've always liked "Real Woman" because we don't see enough good compositions of average people in the gallery IMHO! You and I have been doing this for about the same amount of time (I bought myself Poser 5 for Xmas!) and yet, you have created a lot more than I have during that time.....and good quality stuff too. I take my inspiration from the real world....people I know.....or events that have occured. Sometimes things work.....sometimes they don't. Some ideas that I think are going to look great, don't turn out at all....so I toss them and move on. They never get posted (thus my skimmpy gallery...I've "tossed" more than I've posted!) Yes....what you're experiencing happens to everyone. Not just in art either....but in life in general. It's about being human, I guess :)
