I see what you mean with the focal points for sure. And of course, I see what I can do to make my art more interesting. I will take some tips from you guys and I will see what I can brew up using all of your advise. I will first start with some pre-planning. What do I want to make I will ask myself. What will be the point of the image, what do I want to convey, and how can I do it in poser. Then I will probly just scetch out a scene on a piece of paper in a rough draft, of the charactors, my background, objects that enhance the image to give the feel I want. I will make an object/clothing inventory of what I will need to create the effect and find/make what I need on the net or in my current collection, Mix it all together in poser, make sure to set the expressions in the proper way according to the mood of the scene/charactors, set the lighting in the way that it emphasizes the main point of the image. I will make sure that faces aren't wondering into the abyss as I often do, that they are focused on the person or thing they are reacting with. And I will definatly have them doing some sort of action, not just making it another picture of a girl with nice textures. Perhaps something funny, scary, interactions with other charactors, maybe even a comic of sorts. Once it is done I will clean up the image as good as I can until it is complete, not half done, or shoddy like alot of my post work. Then upon knowing it is something I love, make a great thumbnail of an interesting angle of the picture that will grab attention, think up a witty name, and post it up on here. Thank you ALL for helping me see what I have been missing, because I felt a little in the dark back there. Not really actually talking to other artists, I was just kinda teaching myself, which is OK, but sometimes I need a push in the right direction for ideas to make more interesting artwork/scenes. Always taking more ideas and suggestions, And I am sure you will all find my new work to be a little eye opening in the future, with better structure than before, with an actual point to the image, better structure, and more amazing scenes.
