"I am not sure why, but I think some of it has to do with the fact that a great many of the challenges I faced with traditional media are now all but gone. That's a good thing in a way because I wasn't always up to those challenges, and sometimes got very frustrated trying to get the image in my head onto the canvas or illustration board. But it seems to be a bad thing, too." I got exactly to this headspace with Poser. I missed the actual "drawing" of what I was creating. It just did not feel like art to me anymore. So, I took up modelling in Lightwave, and, alas...the challenges are back. (First you "draw" the character/scene you want to make...on paper...scan it, and make it in 3d. It is much, much more rewarding than Poser ever was.
