At this point in my education of 3D programs, I call myself a "Digital Artist Wannabe".  I'm not the best, but, I'm not the worst.   A friend of mine refers to me as "the computer artist", because all the work done is, of course, on the computer.  I prefer digital artist, even if it's not totally correct.

Always remember though, first and foremost, we are in fact artists.  No matter what anyone else in the industry may say about Poser...If it comes from the heart and the imagination, it's art no matter how you created it. (yes, I'm bitter about a certain CGI website that insulted artists who use Poser)
