As a visual artist, graphic designer and for a lot of years a freelance illustrator, yes I go for photo realism. Why? Because if I want Tinkerbell fairies at the bottom of the garden type images I can do those with pencil and watercolour much better than I can do it in Poser and Photoshop. Poser can give me images that I cannot do any other way, and comic style is NOT one of those...
