I agree with Carolly the opinionated one...in fact, I usually do :) When I first got into graphics, it was from a non-art background...but I always had this desire to put down somewhere what was going through my head...be it in writing, which I didn't like to do, or on canvas, which I never was able to do. Then all the great programs like Vista Pro, Bryce, , and Poser came along. RDD, RDS, etc... through it all, I seemed to collapse towards Poser, but it always leaves me feeling a bit not quite complete, too cookie cutter, it leaves my gut with a hollow feeling. I have seen the fact that 2/3 or more of Poser work looks pretty much the same, thus my initial post..way up above :) I usually try to do things differently, but then discover that I can't find those unusual items, such as a set of coveralls, to use in my work. I just bought Dulari and October Rust by samildanach_, which is indeed unique, and brought about the resulting linked image...I will say the thought has not been executed as well as I wanted...will try some more....but patience isn't one of my virtues, nor is attention to detail, which leaves me the loose ends now and again. But more work in line with these mentioned would be much appreciated...and I really don't need any of those textures that have the multitudes of "tribal" paint jobs or tattoos plastered all over the body to create a "unique" texture. I always hear the excuse about selling what sells, but I wonder if someone had the bravery of doing something different and putting it up for sale, if all of a sudden folks would stream in for the different product. Take a look at As Shanim, for instance...a unique look, but still a bit as always...different enough to make you look at it....I'm not sure of the sales success, but I bet its pretty high. RDNA continues to churn out things that are different. They do very well.
