Very nice work. I think perhaps some of the art on the box is slightly more advanced as it's not post worked. Or at least it doesn't appear to be.

It's good to see more people sharing what artists they like.

Nice... But what does this art say. Art by and large is meant to convey a meaning or concept, I suppose in this instance the meaning is "look how well I can utilize Pre-made content, look at how hot I made V4 look, and look how slick the surfaces are."

Pretty darned catchy promo images or illustrations (which I hope is the intent)... But, ummm, "amazing and fantastic and inspiring and flawless" ART? Tell me something, when you look at this what is your emotional/intellectual response? If it's "jeez that sure is pretty, or "Damn that is one hot chick" my suggestion would be turn on your TV set to an all commercial channel (MTV will do) or log onto Spankwire or FreeOnes, there's some really awe-inspiring art on there.

yawn.

Addendum... My comments might imply that I don't think that the artists use of Poser isn't impressive, which isn't the case. It's simply that this type of imagery is done to death, I suppose I would find it more interesting if it were less sophisticated and drawn or painted with traditional media or even painted from scratch with photoshop. 99.9% of Poser Chick renders I just find tremendously boring unless there is something else other than the obvious happening with the work.

As an aside, it's ironic that Rendo's TOS on sexual imagery is such that it is and yet every time I look at the various adds it's an image of a hot chick in panties pointing her ass at the camera. Last time I checked the definition of pornography was something that inspired prurient interest in the viewer. What then is the intent of a Poser image with a scantily clad woman presenting her shapely ass to the viewer?

just sayin'.

Pretty girls! I think we all have our own taste.  Here is another of example of Poser Art. Perhaps not always pretty-but somewhat more "interesting" at least to my eye.

Not necessarily my favorite-just the result of a quick search.

I like the B&W Diva 4 image. It kind of has a winsome 50s French film actress thing going for me, which I perhaps evokes a bit of nostalgia. I suppose it could inspire reflection on how the definition of star has changed, or mortality, given that so many of the stars of that era are gone or going fast but, it’s nice to enjoy it just for what it is, a brief moment of pleasure. Not every experience needs to be transcendent. As they say, eye of the beholder. Most of the other images don’t appeal to me other than as nicely done work, but I figure one out of the lot was worth the click.

I think the problem is we treat our work is like its a music composition when in fact its more like the visual arts.

**lmckenzie**, funny you should mention that particular image, it's the only one out of the lot that was vaguely interesting to me. Unfortunately the woman looks like so many other Poser Pretties that it fails to live up to it's potential. Compare to this painting by Gerhard Richter, both are simple portraits that are trying to evoke a mood or emotional response. Of the two, which is more impressive? I know the comparison isn't really fair, but if words like amazing and fantastic and perfect are going to be thrown around... well then.

of course you're right... in the end it is the beholder's preference. I just think that alot of Poser artists would be well served if they took a look around at the world of art outside of CG or commercial art.

Eric Walters, Insomniac 5871's work is definitely more appealing to me... Particularly 'the Boon' and 'Autumn'... I might be mistaken but I'm seeing an influence or flavor of the Pre-Raphaelites in that artist's renders.


Eric Walters ( ) posted Sun, 14 April 2013 at 1:07 AM

 

Absolutely with Autumn! And Morag. I could not find "The Boon."

Some fine work there!

Here's the link to "The Boon"... http://www.runtimedna.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastupby&cat=0&pos=15&uid=26594

Apparently Insomniac was influenced by this painting by Leighton, "Accolade".

sorry for the hijack, Sheedee.

Insomniac does some stunning stuff though just a tad too much visual overload for me. I do find "Medusa" attractive, or as attractive as one can find a freaking snake woman, and "Female Guard" is nice as well. It may be the more muted colors and the somewhat less busy environment. I tend to find many skins over saturated with too much orange/red, so I tend to be drawn to images with paler skin tones, or dark ones without the tinge. I imagine there are fundamental perceptual traits that determine preferences below the stylistic level, e.g. color, perspective, whether one likes intricate detail etc. Maybe incorporated in some 'if you liked that image, you may like these' algorithms.

To play Devil's Advocate-if you look through the galleries-it is heavily populated with similar renders as seen in the OP's post. There is no doubt that as examples of the genre they are well done.

There are indeed different tastes! Your hypothesis is interesting. I'm sure someone has done studies on the subject
