A recent forum containd a rather sniffy remark about the superior status of those who construct Poser objects from scratch as compared to those of us who merely use those products to produce Poser renders, sometimes doing it well enough to be called "art". The Poser community is unique, in that its users range from those who have never used 3D software before, to those who push Poser to its limits, including creating their own content. The only difference between the newbie and the more advanced user is the skill level. It doesn't make one type of user any more superior than the other. That is the beauty of this community, though. Those who CAN create content are getting enjoyment out of that process; and those who USE the content are getting an equal amount of enjoyment. As for one being more "artistic" than the other, it all depends on what you do with it. And there, the skill level varies widely as well. But I think that has more to do with knowledge level than anything. The renders I did five years ago are very embarrassing as compared to the renders I'm doing now. The best way to improve is to keep trying new things and experimenting with every aspect of Poser. 8-)
