Let me comment on this... my daughter has a deviant site, and she posts photo's on a regular base, and she makes the most beautiful things IMHO. And so she gets only the best critics. She does some postwork on the pictures in paintshop pro , but a lot of them are just pure. The subjects of her photo's are not made by her, not my dogs or my cats, the old mill around the corner, the dunes and the skies, It's just the kind of composition, the use of light and some luck I guess and hundreds and hundreds of digital pictures unitll she gets the right one. I don't see poser as something different:  I spent hours to make the right picture, try out lights, surf the internet to find that special prop or cloth I need, trying poses, expressions, tweaking material and yes sometimes I even make my own content when I can't find something or just because I like it. I'm not considering my work as art but I like to get some nice comments. I'm a skilled, professonal drafstman but the work I make is more craft than art. Sooo... if someone critisize anyones works just because he uses Poser and in the same the line tells he isn't an artist but only a critic, I will pull his ears off and tell he to get a life... IMO scum like that are the vultures of this community, always eager to pick someone..
