maxxmodelz, I can, sort of, follow the argument about the difference between using a preconstructed figure and starting at a more primitive level. "Painting by numbers" is a useful, but not very good, analogy. It's somewhere between that and photography where I think you could put a border. I'm happy enough to use pre-made models, and even start from somebody else's pose files, but this doesn't seem so different from what a photographer does with a model in a studio, in terms to creative art. Different tools, no chance of getting slapped by Posette, but that isn't the sort of difference which distinguishes art. And while photography does replace the traditional skills of draughtsmanship, that isn't what defines art. Besides, a lot of the meaning of art, the visual language, is independent of the medium. There are accents, different dialects even, but it isn't the camera, the computer, or the brush which defines art. It's what you seem and choose to record.
