KateTheShrew, I must tell you that that is VERY nice work! I have some experience with this kind of stuff. For one thing my wife and I are longtime hardcore ballroom, swing, and latin dancers. For another, up until very recently I was doing a ballroom dance strip called FOOTLIGHTS that still gets published in the ballroom, swing, and latin, and general small press, i.e., newsletters, etc. I still get letters from lots of places, i.e., all over the States, Canada, Israel, Argentina, etc., and I'm going to be starting it up again. Funny thing, the hardest part about this writing not the drawing, as there is abundant photo, film, and video reference available. As a matter of fact, the very reason I got Poser in the first place was to use as "posing" of photo reference and then looked at from different angles, and it has certainly been very very helpful in that regard. I'm almost finished with a book of ballroom dance clip art line drawings as, despite the plentitude of photo work available, there is very little "quality" drawing for people who might have use of such. You can see some samples of this strip at the below URL. Poser 2, 3, and 4 have all been extremely great aids in drawing this and other stuff. Not everything being done with it is "porno" though I did do exactly that kind of comix for years and years. http://www.ballroom-r-us.com/footlights/gallery.htm Despite years of using 2D and 3D apps, I'm still a pencil, pen, and ink type deep down, but find I'm doing increasingly less (? HAH, is that possible) of it. That's great work you have there and I would suggest grabbing any Fred and Ginger movies or tons of others on TV late at night.
