Sometimes I feel I am the only person around here who use Poser along the lines of its original conception. Like you, I come from a traditional art background (although I went into graphic design). I've been working for a couple of years now to move more toward digital painting and away from straight renders, using the Poser figure(s) only as a base and then painting, tweaking, adjusting, etc. from there. This is just personal taste, but I think that most Poser renders look pretty much alike, and I try very hard to get away from that look through postwork. bonni
