By definition, almost every image we make is considered art. I say "almost" because I'm taking into consideration model test renders etc. It's not how you get there that matters, it's all in the end result.

Quote - Besides, I've seen plenty of "modelers" who make really poor "artistic" images..and I've seen poser users make amazing stuff..  being a Modeler doesn't automatically make you a better "Artist".. it just makes you a modeler

I consider modeling is an art in and of itself, and agree with you, just cuz you can model, it doesn't mean you can make an awesome image.
