Good rebuttal on that Ero. Thought that call out was a little bold on wolf's part. I also think that many of the insults on the forums to teyon's work have been rather callous. You don't seem to have much of a choice on the "ridiculous tribe" thing though. Totally illogical and not at all practical from a pragmatic perspective in such a market driven art realm, and let's face it, most of your work is market oriented, but it would have really been something if PE had sprang fully formed like venus on a half shell into the Poserverse without all the hype. This isn't a malicious opinion, I think she looks gorgeous, more like a what if opinion.

...thought that gallery comment on one my images at CGBytes "you made that???" was hilarious BTW.

Granted a lot of what I do does seem like hyping, but its also to hype myself up. Its not an easy task, making a solid figure that really looks good, like my helpers will attest. I maintain, PE is definitely about art, and the fun of it. And that definitely involves a bit of hype, fun, enthusiasm. Whether that will pay off remains to be seen, but I need to stand firm in my initial motivation in designing this figure, I need her for my own work. I hope that can guarantee some level of usefulness for other artists. And I repeat, how many professionals have made their own figure, perhaps miles better than anything out there, that might have never even seen the inside of a 3D content store. This is about art, and artists, at the end of the day, no matter how amateur or professional.
