True true.

I'm glad you brought up your opinions, guys. I've had this issue for some time now, being a user of Poser. But, it's not just the whipping of someone who uses Poser from traditional or professional "artists", but it's from other users of high-end 3-D programs. The biggest talkers I have come across has been CGTalk. I simply DO NOT post any of my work there because 95% of the people there will blast you a new hole of what a "true artist" is. "Poser isn't real 3-D. You're stupid."

Uhmmm... who said anything of me being a master of any program? I thought it was HOW you use a medium, the use of composition, (in most instances, imagination use), and how your finished piece conveys to the audience (hence, Rawn's definition). My MAIN reason for purchasing Poser was because it was essential for my traditional pieces; instead of forking out hundreds to thousands of dollars for real models, I have Poser, and these models won't ask for double-payment for a split-beaver shot with a gun in the snatch.

I find it funny, that when I do my "usual" piece and not mention Poser, people will give a normal critique or high-praise, then ask "what program did you use for the character?" "Poser." "Ha ha ha... you're funny! Shit program, not recommended."
Uhmmm... but why was I getting high-praise for the finished piece? So, all of the sudden, I'm no longer an artist because I used Poser?

Sad sad.

Me so sad, me find ways to inflict pain on sub-consiousness.
:( and people wonder why i have such unpopular ultra-violent or mentally disturbed pieces to show. thank you, society, for confusing the minds of future artists
