The obvious answer is : Yes, Poser users are artists. Since Poser is a 3D tool then : Yes, Poser users are 3D artists. But see it doesn't really end with a yes or no in my mind. I LOVE some of the work in the Poser community, and some of the people here are incredibly talented... but most of it I am simply not at all impressed with because of how cookie cutter it all is. When I see a great Poser image I am impressed... but when I see a truly awesome image by someone I know has also modeled the primary meshes themselves and doen the textures on there own? I am much, much more impressed. Thats just life. Now, as far as commercial art goes it's a different game - if the client pays you for it then its perfect :)
