Yeah, I know the cliche is about beauty...but beauty isn't really what this thread is about. Art is originality creativity imagination looking at the world in a new way bringing that new way to the audience Anything less, is just a picture, a graphic, a doodle. A picture, a graphic, a doodle can be art. But art is something that rises above the tools. I really believe that. And if you think endless repetitions of the same graphic is art, then you are right in there with Thomas Kinkaid, who does lovely, mindless repeats of the same thing. And that's okay if that's what you want to do. But is it art? No, I think art is something more than the endless repeating of someone else's original idea. And why much of what is done in Poser isn't art. And why it is so lovely to discover art in Poser when it happens.
