Poser is actually quite limited. You need a paint package to create textures, you need a 3D modeller to create props, etc. A lot of artists do touch-up work on their gallery pieces after 3D rendering. I would say there is no such thing as "Pure Poser" at all. If you look at other galleries youll find poser figures in the Truespace or Bryce pictures. It is this mixing of software that makes everything so exciting, and unfortunately sometimes baffling. Dont be afraid to ask anyone about their work, most people at Renderosity are extremely friendly and only too happy to talk about their work, just remember some of them are very busy people and may not reply immediately or at all. Try their homepages and see if they`ve done any tutorials. Welcome to Poser, I hope it gives you a lot of pleasure, and not too much frustration!
