And of course nothing is wrong with using post artwork to touch up your render. To me it doesn't make any difference how the image was acheived, it's the final impact in my opinion.

So if your renders are not as good as you'd like them, there are many things you can do with a 'bad' render using post artwork additions.

Any image that is just a render always looks kinda 'plastic' to me, so i don't just do renders. 

I like to think that rendering a scene is only part of the art......unless you are animating, then it'll take so much longer with additions through post work.  :smile
