Not sure myself... I've gotten to where I can (and do) build pretty much all of the image with my own computer - Props, scenes, backgrounds, and (hopefully) soon, characters. I also make it a point to morph and mold characters into something I had in mind, instead of sticking in the stock character... IMHO, a good character should be able to withstand such molding and morphing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against using others' freely granted work as a base, and I do purchase quite a bit in the store when I feel the want to do so. OTOH, I tend to get more satisfaction from an image made entirely from components I've built myself. As for the question of Artist vs. Composer, let me pose a question for you: If the whole purpose of art is to tell a story with a given media, then what lack of art is there when someone builds and renders an image made from parts others have built, and merely arranged so as to tell that story in the best way possible? /P
