I don't call myself an artist, so I don't feel that I'm cheating. And if folk want to make a point of saying that I don't do 'real' art, that's fine - and when they present a properly argued, objective, non-arbitrary, exclusive definition of art to support what they say, I might even care. Really.

There are anti-poser folk in the CGS crowd and they can be quite vocal. How representative they are of the community in general is a very different question, I suspect that most don't care a great deal either way and I'm not sure why I should either.

For myself, I started using Poser because I needed to create some images. I judge what I do with it in the simplest way I can: Does it do what I need it to? What else should matter to me?
