there are like 3 different sides to a coin LOL (i know there is only two in a normal world)

1. there are people that just render an image because they are interested in 3d but either dont feel motivated or inspired enough to grow out of their comfort zone. or they just wanna stay as is.

2. artists like me who are forever trying to learn new things and improve on what they already know.

3. those artists that are already good at what they do from years of schooling or self tutoring ....

and hence from there each artist has their own genre ....

me i feel comfortable only in dark fantasy or sci fi or just fantasy .... i'm not good at fluffy or child like images. .....

and i dont use gamma correction it does absolutely nothing for me.
