For me...I was looking for a webset to put on a website/inviation to my son's 2nd birthday party, and I happened upon Moyra's Web Jewels (now gone).  The Moyra from DAZ's platinum club ;)   Anyway, I saw some really cool sets, and noticed that she used Bryce to create this really gorgeous forest fairy set, and there was a link on her site to Renderosity.  So, I bit, joined, saw how much everything cost....and downloaded terragen :lol:  Since it was free, and I was pretty broke.  But, after saving up, I finally got Bryce and Poser 4...and then got a job and forgot about everything...and didn't really get back to it for about a year. 

I've always been an artist of one kind or another.  My specialty was always non-traditional media (many of my works are actually crayon on canvas, and yes I prefer Crayola to RoseArt), but I didn't have the room to really create in our dinky apartment, so computer art just fit right in such a small place.  Even now that I can create in other media (I create soap pieces for weddings and baby showers, along with clothes for friends), I still use it, because it's what I know and love :)
