Um...let me step back into this for a moment please, let me backtrack for a moment cause I erred here immensly in some aspects. "Digital Art", there actually is 'very much' of this that one needs to be a successful all star artist of quality and wanton noteriety. Can anyone say Adobe? And more Adobe, and yet even more Adobe and then some, and even more of some, and many, many, many more of some Adobe?!! Thank goodness I have indeed been worshipping the God of Adobe for many years because Adobe IS a God indeed, as is basic Photography, as is Life Drawing. Adobe products are considered 'digital art', and in fact they are termed as '3D art', contrary to what many in our 3D worlds seem to have established as 2D art as in postwork and after effects is in fact considered the 'creator' of "3D ARTWORK EXTRAORDINAIR", one of the most ESSENTIAL tools next to the camera and hands and imagination, odd, perplexing strangeness indeed, my brain became eggnog for a short time in awe. Now I will not even try to get into the strange, dull, glassy piercing looks of disapproval I recieved when mentioning some of the high end, (or heavens even low end), 3D softwares, but I do need to tell you I was rather 'stunned' and thrown into some realism unprepared for. Apparently one place even had a Maya course as an extra once but due to lack of interest because it was not an essential criteria, they discontinued that course. Seems many of our good tools are not well established as yet, or just plain frowned upon, or considered extra's that you play with after you get that Grad hat... Have a cool day, I have to go sacrifice some fruits of my labor to the God of Adobe...;-)
