Hi AP!

First, as in any forum, you should not feel guilty for transgressing into a bit of personal dialog and conversation, as long as it is not a flame or fight that has erupted. Friendly bits and pieces are what any community forum is all about!

Myself, I have often thought of using poser as my "Back Sketch" for my own painting. But I am too lazy to print it out on a decent art stock to do so.

As to critiques, I asked about that because it is the main aim of the forum. If it is only used to get comments, sometimes that can backfire and a critique(s) can maybe lose you other supporters, because they do not understand the critique group is here, or what it is all about. 

I for one, see that because you wanted to use poser as a tool to paint on, you are now just starting to get the bug! LOL! It is an insidious little bugger too!!! I will say this is what is perhaps lacking. You need a few V3 models to get a more polished looking render(*textures and makeups, etc). Check out the freebies. There are lots of very good V3's texture models there! If you don't find any that are good for commercial use as well as personal(*important if you sell!!!). Let me know I have about 60 commercial freebie models for V3, I am happy to share with you! :) the skin texture can make or break a good render. IMHO.

As I say, "art is intrinsic to the buyer"! *My Quote! So your painting style is unique and the use of color and perspective is good! Other than that I cannot say or tell anything there that I would critique at this time. Art is a wonderful thing, it is personal and epherial...hard to critique that.

I rarely if ever try to be harsh in anything. I am a woosie! LOL! Ask Joel! Hope this makes you feel more at home with me! ;)

HuggerZ!
