I went over to CGTalk and took a look around. It's an incredible forum (a bit hard to navigate) but I just didn't feel comfortable there. I'm not a professional artist and I do this for the pure enjoyment of creating something that pleases me, that gives me a sense of accomplishment. Period. I hang around this forum a lot because I like the feel of it. I always learn something for there are many talented people that are here and share their knowledge - be it technique, hardware, or just inspiration. I spend a lot of time in the galleries - I comment on what I like. I've been hooked on art since my first art history class, but I'm still not sure what "art" is. I'd sure hate to try and define it. To me, that definition is a personal interpretation. This gallery may not be full of "art" by someone's definition; to me it is full of personal creations - that in and of itself is a wonderful thing. It's what brings us together as a community of softs. I'm just glad we have a place to share it.
