You're talking about craftmanship, pure and simple. I grew up in a boatyard in Florida, I 've done carpentry in my time, and I've scraped and painted bottoms. I was hard work, but I wouldn't call it art For a time, I was independantly employrd as a silversmith and jeweller. I made some pretty nifty stuff in both silve and gold, sawing, shaping, sodering, and polishing, -but while I think I was a moderately skilled craftsman, I wouldn't call that artwork either.
I just finished remapping PosetteV3 and am in the process of remapping Dork, the P4 Catrsuit, and V4.1. Again, I would call any of this art, Craftmanship yes, but not art. On the other hand, I worked for two hours, at least in composing, posing, and rendering the 'Nude Erasian Contemplating Her Foot, ' that I priorly posted here in this thread (Plus another Hour and a half of postwork). That I DO consider art, and not just because of the time and effort I put inot it.
