Wow, toshibasan, Well thanks for the link-- I'd not seen this guy's work before and it is excellent. The funny thing is that I think he's doing exactly what Larry Weinberg thought people would do with Poser, when he created it. . .remember the artist maquette guys in Poser 1, 2 (and its still in there, somewhere). Early Poser, or early Poser running on a 100 Mhz computer with a 512k of memory only could do so much-- the huge texture and bump maps of the present weren't even a gleam in anyone's eye. So, as I recall, the early idea was very much of an artists posing and shading tool. . .one of the hardest things for a traditional artist doing paintings of people is to get sizes right, particularly when the perspective is extreme, as it it is in this image. All a very long way of saying that, to my way of thinking, "Archangel Gabriel"'s images are very true to the spirit of what Poser was intended for, in addition to being very striking, Another Rosity regular who works similarly is "Voodoo". . .
