Quote - @Conniekat8 in order to change our POV i browsed the galleries to find a good example: pls take a look at carib98's gallery. do you think this guy (lady?/AI?) would get that kind of comments for his (her?/its?) poser images in a non-poser gallery?
Looks like very nice work. I'm not completely sure I'm understanding where you're heading with this? Could you elaborate so I can give you a more focused answer?
Meanwhile, here are a few things that come to mins, sort of along the lines of what you are mentioning. I'm not sure if that will address what you asked :)
What kind of comments an image gets may be pretty depended on the context in which it is represented and the audience. Kind of like marketing a product. There are very few products (at the moment I can't really think of any) that appeal to everyone the same way.
Let's rephrase this in a marketing jargon: Would the artist in question get the same feedback from a target audience with somewhat different interests and values?
What I know about marketing tells me that it is not likely to get the same response.
Showing your images, getting feedback, views, comments is a form of marketing. At least where it comes to the aspect of testing the waters with exposure and audience response.
What are we looking for? Artistic value? Commercial valye? Both? Technical skills? Someone whom can be an illustrator? Someone whom is fit to work as a level modeller in a game production? A character develpment artist for a film or TV studio? (or some other)
See, each one of theese requires a similar, but not exactly identical skillset. Is one more valuable then another? Depends on the buyer. Depends on the criteria on which it is judged....
