Quote - It doesn't matter whether the goal is realism or illustration, or even what the media is, the problem/goal is exactly the same. When I look at an image with V4 I and start thinking things like 'wow, nice morph' or 'that temple looks chilly, she'll catch cold dressed like that' then it may be a technically good image but it's missing something, and that's where I'd place everything I've done with Poser.
Or...maybe you're just not the right audience for that image.
I suspect that for a lot of the gallery images, neither the artist nor the average viewer looks much at the face. ;-)
Seriously, though...when I look at Michelangelo's "David," I think, "Why would someone go into battle naked?" and "Why is a nice Jewish boy like him not circumcised?" It doesn't mean the piece is lacking anything. It just means I'm not the viewer he had in mind when he did the piece.
