Very interesting comments. I like Lawndart's thinking and I agree. I have watched Final Fantasy a dozen times because I'm totally amazed at the work/art but still, something is missing. Nomuse makes an interesting point about paintings and paintings of poser figures (Prog and ToxicAngel just to mention 2 examples) seem very real or having a soul but they are no longer "realistic" and so maybe my mind is able to accept them better. But, look at the old masters, I mean, they were working in Oils and achieving life like paintings. So, is that the secret? One cannot create a lifelike image of a 3d figure using a program but one must somehow transfer a piece of themselves to the art?
