An artist uses the tools of his/her choice, usually it's more than one tool.
The division of galleries by tool is quite artificial IMO, and a source for (often rather heated) discussion of "purity".
I'd rather see the galleries divided by genre (as it is now), possibly with "sub-genres", and drop the tool selection. Instead, a "Tools used" section on the upload page, similar to the merchant credit upload facility could be used. Most images of mine would then look like this:
Genre: stills/fantasy
Merchant credits
(...)
Tools used, in order of importance to the image
Poser
Vue
3DS Max
Photoshop
