This I have to respond to, as I get a lot of derogatory poser comments on an elfwood site that I have.

First, though i couldnt see your art due to the filter, the responses were just, uncalled for.  The use of explatives shows this person reeeeeally needs some anger management courses.

What i see happening, and sadly its true, is poser is affordable.  There are some that get their hands on it, and crank out "paintings" in less than an hour using ye ol' figure/conform to utility, poses out of free stuff, Koz hair, and so on and so fourth.

Now I think we ALL started like this, sadly new users however, the field and items are just OLD.  Been there done that....... you know what I mean.  In renderosity galleries, from what I've seen new artists to poser well, we're kind, supportive and totally GET IT, you start where you start, until you learn and do more.

Its the ones that use it, and never improve (I actually know someone who's used poser for three years and........ uses the same Koz hair on EVERY picture, the same skin textures, and has not after three years moved out of using poser's default lighting).  They use others figures, free or no, pop them out, and then sign it and classify it as an "original" peice of art.

Technically it is, however, ...... for those who spend several weeks or months in man hours inking a drawing or oil painting, .... even some who use poser as a base and spend weeks in hand painting details, clothes, hair and backgrounds, it can get rather disturbing.

Now I claim in my elfwood site right off the bat i use Poser and Bryce.......... heaven forbid!  And I get slammed for it most of the time, "well i hate poser, but for a poser render its nice".

Actually the term render, I find myself getting offensive about.  80 percent of some of my images I painted, they didn't  "pop" out that way.

Worse tho?  Do a travel around those sites, even deviant art, elfwood, so on so fourth, take a good look.   A poser user knows a poser figure no matter HOW GOOD the artist behind it is.  No matter how you mask it, no matter how you postwork it, its still a poser base......... yet they claim its not.  Those are the ones that really irk me, as if they'd just say, "yes i use poser", maybe people would STOP assuming poser is this "pop it in and render art in an instant" machine.  There is credibility in poser.
