erm...why do I suddenly feel like one of those fish in the tank in the Monty Python movie...::chuckle:: thanks guys...thought I might get my hand slapped for going so totally off topic...but I feel downright welcome now..lol I think you have a good point there mac about the flashes..you nailed it about the flashes coming more often when you do things more often. One other thing that came to me about this discussion is that when using Poser..ofthem what I start out with is NOT what I end up with. Because it gives you the ability to move around the entire little "world" you create instead of just drawing out a flat plane...you can then take a look at several snap shots of that world and see which one suits you best, or possibly changes the entire feeling of the finished piece. That sort of makes Poser a "journey", more than a medium. Not exactly something you can do with traditional drawing or painting without having to start completely over I suppose. But the same would apply to photography in a sense. I think the 3d aspect of both Poser and photography gives the "artist" more of an interactive tool with which to complete the total effect, sometimes with surprising and totally different results. Anyone else's thoughts? oh..PS...once she saw the first one, she had me do about 5 more...some of which involved actually modifying existing traditional paintings done by another artist because they didn't exactly fit the need she had. The other artists ended up loving what I did too..which I was leary about. Which I guess nails the point I made about Poser being more flexible than traditional media. The artist couldn't change it without redoing the whole thing...I changed it in a matter of an hour or 2, with a combo of photoshop and poser. Yet all 3 fused together to make the final image.
