This one is still my favorite. It's one of those nice simple little images that just has a feeling of being something more. I partly like the image because it grew from looking at the content I had and picking things that evolved from one concept to another before settling on a little girl looking out the window of a spaceship. This is the one image I've done that, whenever I look at it, it seems to mean something more than it ever did when I was putting it together. One of the sillier comments I received in another forum was that the girl shouldn't be standing on her toes because it logically made no sense since standing on her toes doesn't give her a better view. I shook my head because the comment came from somebody that wanted to be an artist. I've always wondered if a person, who cannot keep something of the child in themselves, can really be a good artist. A child would get on her toes because she's committing her everything to what she's seeing. It has nothing to do with logic, but with the emotional commitment that children make to just about anything they do. The image would be less interesting if the girl was just calmly standing by the window. This image is a good example of why I enjoy using Poser. You can play around with the program and do something that you unexpectedly enjoy. Other images I've done have been more deliberate where I often wrestled with the program to get where I wanted to go. This one literally evolved from nothing more than just putting elements in the Poser workspace and evolving the concept. Maybe it was the happenstance of the process that hooked me. Maybe it feels more like art to me because it wasn't deliberate. It beats listening to a modern art creator waxing eloquently about the symbology behind splatters of paint that quite frankly are less enthralling than the story behind the splatters.My visual indexes of Poser
