I shake you by the hand, sir, I'm glad someone agrees with me.  That ballerina website is superb, lots of graceful girls on there, 58 pages of them in fact.

Well, 57 pages actually because page 33 doesn't work for me.

Bookmarked.  Awesome site to use as reference, shame the images are so small though, I want epic sized images!  Can't imagine why they post them so small on a Tumblr site, it's not as if they have to worry about bandwidth.

Wonder Woman is cool but she's like the DustRider babe, she's more an Amazon/Warrior-Girl, not statuesque.  It makes clear to me why people see the girls I post as skinny though, it's obvious now that Americans have a very different idea of what statuesque is to what I do.

As toastie pointed out, think more "ballerina" and perhaps graceful and you're in the right ballpark for statuesque.

Agreed, doing stuff on a computer has way more sophistication.  What it lacks though, is the "hands-on" ergonomics of holding a real pencil or brush and putting it to real paper.  I bet even the best Wacom tablet on earth wouldn't give that (although I hear they're very impressive, and I wouldn't say no to one).  There's also the end product to consider as well.  Make your art in the computer and the art is wothless from a collectible point of view because the original doesn't exist.

A real, physically produced work of art is a different story though.

I think there's only one 3D app out there that is truly fully "artistic" and that is ZBrush.  I think any person who masters both the 2.5D Pixol technology and the 3D technology in ZBrush has a very good chance at producing awesomness.

It's the bloody interface that holds me back 99% of the time, and those tiny sliders drive me nuts!!!
