Ben - couldn't agree with you more. I've also worked with oils, clay, and chalks. The moment I got my first computer and found out that you could create art on it, I knew I had found the medium to last me for the rest of my life. I've been pushing pixels around since 1992, and using both Painter and Poser since (ack!) version 1. I use a whole lot of other graphics software, including Max and Character Studio, but I keep coming back to Poser, the program of my addiction ;-). Why? Because with it I can capture the beauty of the soul in a simple look, or a simple pose, and I enjoy every minute of it. Yay Poser!
