ya .. no art training, my stick figures look like 4 yr old ...my Poser work was beginning to see something, say something, but then all of a sudden I cant do anything other than pinup stuff, which i never wanted to do ..with canned poses from the store...simplicity or laziness?

That in itself is a criticism that maybe needs expressing. How creative is a person really, if they are using push button art. it feels good, to an extent, but when someone states what a great pose, or whatever, it isn't even your own pose, or texture, whatever. it almost gets to the point that you could argue the art is not even your own art.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
