"Love art for arts sake no matter how its produced BUT
why bother categorising it under the package that you used to produce it if you are going to heavily postwork it anyway"

Not trying to nit-pick everything you say, but if you're serious about this, I might be interested in participating. Most of my stuff only gets very minor touch-ups or color corrections in post.

However, the thing is... you keep saying "heavily postworked", then you say if you do ANYTHING other than a logo it's not acceptable?? Well, compositing shadows that were rendered FROM Poser itself (meaning, you set up all the lights that cast those shadows in the first place, they're not painted on) is hardly "heavily postworked".

Again, your definition of "heavily postworked" is murkey at best, and I dare say the vast majority of people who would participate in such a gallery, where the rules of conduct are so undefined, would be a beginner-level user, or someone who has no real interest in improving their skill level.

Again, I'm not hounding you here. I don't come from a 2D background, so painting over things isn't good for me either... I'm just saying that you're alienating a great majority of professionals who do certain types of postwork for the sake of workflow, and I'm NOT talking about paint-overs.
