You people are wonderful!!!  I realize what I must do now.  You see, when  i started getting into poser/vue/bryce etc. I was so amazed at the "modeling" of the images ... the perfect shadows and perspective that I lost sight of the more subtle aspects of art.  I really understand now.  Thank goodness there are good tutorials out there on post-work  like clothes and hair.  Again.  Your help has been wonderful.

**Miss Nancy: ** The Sundance one is one of my faves too.  I did it while going to college for the second time ... and  TheRapier was right ... it really was "Electric Horseman" but I liked Sundance better. :)

**Morgano: ** Thank you very much for leaving a comment.  Yes ... I was aware of the darkness around the toes ... but I also noticed that the shadows  worked so I left it.  I will work on that.  :)

**Acadia: ** Your comments are always so helpful to people, thank you.  Makes me eager to visit Canada if folks up there are like you!  :)  Sometimes all it takes is a fresh eye to get an artist back on track.  :)

Tunesy:  Thank you.    As for local businesses I live in a depressed area with a small population and a glut of graphic designers and print shops.  Everyone is scratching to survive.  It wasn't nearly this bad when I lived in California.  Just the opposite of what people may expect.  I even set out posters to do pencil portraits from antique photos in the dozens of antique shops in the area.  Alas, my best market is "Artist's Market" and the internet at this point.

**tekn0m0nk: ** My partner has been disapointed for a long time that I've neglected my 2d work for 3d.  But my vision limits me (I'm extremely visually impaired) and is getting a bit worse over the years. (I'm 52) Because of that I've been depending more and more on the  computer for creating art.  In the past few  months though, I've learned to replicate my style with Photoshop and am getting back into 2d work ... with a lot of help from my computer.  In the beginning Poser was "ment" to be a tool, not an end product.  That's how I looked at it too ... until I got hooked.  :)

Again thank you all. :)  This really helps.

Sincerely
Boni
