Acadia, I wouldn't say your standards are low. I would guess you're simply expressing yourself and Poser is a great and fairly quick medium to accomplish that. Some solid technical skills are needed, just as they are when working in oils, acrylics, pastels - any medium, including electronic. I just have an aversion to technical prowess being such a strong source of inspiration and enlightenment. Some of Michelangelos works were lost to us because his understanding of his medium was faulty. His frescos fell apart, his sculpture shattered. In addition, his depiction of human anatomy was less than accurate. Yet, he is still considered by most as a genius among many greats. It is his skills as an artist, not as simply a painter or a sculptor that has made him so.
