Quote - just for the LULZ:

try to imagine you actually WERE able to do an image from the ground up - all the modelling, rigging, texturing, compositing and lighting and whatnot.

you WOULD be a little relenting on that Poser and Studio users, would you?

be honest! :biggrin:

actually...I started to work in sculptris so that I could have that experience. To make something from a blob up, to then paint it, etc...(not able to rigg yet...YET). I thought I would find some holy grail of digital art. I ...didnt. I have appreciation for the work that goes in. I have appreciation for the technical aspect of -real- modelers...BUT I didnt find it any more pleasing or satisfying then if I opened poser and used a model. It was not the holy grail that it has been portrayed as. I am -still- working on "completely done my -me-" image...and you know what? I have to force myself to keep going back to it due to it being a drag(it was exciting at first. But 'beast' the creature I made has really been a time-eater. It can be seen in one of my portfolios in DA). While in the mean time I can put out a handful of good images.

 

Particularly as I know "high end artists" that use premade models. Studios use premade models...so I am unsure how it is viable to "put people down" for using pre-made ANYTHING.

I use premade paints when I paint traditional...I do not stretch my own canvas...I do not make my own brushes.

When I work with jewelry, I buy premade wire...I do not make my own. I use pre-cut stones. I do not cut my own(I know how, but SERIOUSLY? why? when its easier for me to purchase them?). I do not twist my own thread...

I do not raise my own cow for leather work, I do not slaughter it, stretch and tan the hide... I purchase it all done for me to short cut all the other steps.

 

WHY should digital work be any different?

EVERYONE does it for something in their life. EVERYONE. Be it for art, for cooking, for DIY....we all use pre-made materials.
