You're arguing about your contribution. I'm arguing about the semantics of the phrase CG Artist.

Everyone in the pipeline is an artist. But what is the role denoted by the term "CG Artist"?

By analogy:

In music, you are not a "composer" if you merely perform the works of others (player), or you conduct the performance (conductor), or you arrange the score followed by the players and conductors (arranger). That's why you see albums with a credit like "Harry Nilson - Composer, Arranger, Conductor, Pianist", and not simply "Harry Nilson - Musical Artist".

When those are four different people, they are all still musicians, all still artists, but those four jobs are different jobs and have words to identify them.
