Ever since they started the Poser challenges, I have been soundly disinterested for the same reason: postwork is allowed. now, I do postwork of the simplest sort on my stuff -- my earliest gallery image is pretty much postwork. But, all too often, I've seen that postwork tends to be used to make up not for the shortcomings of the software, but for the lack of knowledge of using it. On that basis -- lack of knowing how to postwork versus lack of knoweldge of how to use poser -- then the playing field becomes level as much as it possibly can. There is still the issue of artistic skill, which is the reason you've only ever seen me enter 2 contests! lol (hey, simple renders of ugly dorks and posettes playing store ain't art -- it's making training videos.)

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
