I'm a freelance graphic artist. One of my current projects is creating people doing various signing. (Like sign language). On this project alone I'm making about $1000 a month and it is only using Poser and Photoshop. I've also made additional money over the years with Poser, on average about $400 a month. So, yes it is very possible for an artist to make money using Poser as one of your tools.
