Rats Bryster! I was going to make a reference to "The Prisoner". :(

Just for that, I' m going to dig through my renders and take the plunge.

Well dhama, it looks like it's just the two of us.

Unless Le Bryster wants to give it a try. Come on Chris, you've got the chops. Same goes for the rest of you. (And that includes you pakled). :D

As to the rest of you. Damnit! Shame on you!  Stop discounting your skills and abilities. This is not a Poser Forum and we don't do Naked Vickies in the Temple with a Sword!  (Bet that gets me in deep kaka with someone. :) ) We have a helluva lot more imagination than that!

Besides what have we got to lose? We bitch about render time and problems with DAZ and all sorts of other stuff. Lets do something dangerous and different. Something unpredictable.   Lets post our art to Renderosity and see what happens!

Hey, I use to train people to manage mass casualty incidents, high hazard chemical releases and oil tanker accidents. That's the real world. If you screwup, there are real consequences. Posting our art has no consequences. Zippo. Nada. None.

You see it doesn't matter if it doesn't make the cut because there's no penalty. If they don't like it or can't use it so what!

So stop knocking your skills! Everyone of you is an artist. Someone once told me that the only difference between a professional and and amateur is that the pro gets paid. It has nothing whatsoever to do with skill.

Remember the first time you posted to any gallery here? I was terrified that no one would like my work. Then I found out that everybody felt that way first time out. Take a look at my first post in my gallery. I look at occasionally and see how far I've come. And how far I have to go. I fussed over that thing for hours before I posted.

So now it's the same with this gig. New challenge, same nerves. Same wondering "will they like it?".

I say go for it.

Besides, most of the artists using other software are bitchin' and moaning how bad and unprofessional they are, and they won't bother to post. So I figure that gives us a clear field. (You don't really think Rendo is really going to use a nekkid Vicky, do you?) ;)

Besides, I make stuff I want to see. And if I like, well then, that's all that matters. So screw 'em if they don't like it.

As for me, I'm gonna take up the gauntlet and create something and post it to Rendo.

Silence.

Pause.

Takes deeeeeeeep breath.

Exhales

Covers exclamation key on keyboard.

OK, my rant is over. You may return to your seats.

That's all I gotta say on the matter,

At least for now.

Let the comments begin.
