Well, I don't know what to say.  I'm not a modeller or a texturist.  I've tried both and don't have the gift for it.  I don't postwork hair or clothing.  I have bought or downloaded lights, poses, figures, scenes, and props although I try to enhance their appearance by tweaking the dial settings and playing with material settings using shader nodes.  I create HDR lighting schemes from my own photos and those of others.  At the end of the day, I like many of the images that I have created.  Whether that makes me an artist or not I leave that up to others to decide...
