OK, one thing I would have to point out is that there are many forms of "art". Modeling is one of them. Obviously this is an area where you excel (and I do not). I'm not alone, in fact I would say that the majority of 3d "artists" out there are probably seriously lacking in modelling skills. That being said, there is more to art than modelling. There is composition, lighting, colors, and yes, even textures. Some of my art involves me creating some sort of landscape, then inserting Poser figures (which I obviously didn't model). However, the fact that I didn't get in there and model my character out of primitives doesn't make my work any less "art" than yours. I spend many, many hours, sometimes weeks, positioning things just so, and texturing tiny pieces just right, and test rendering, and making adjustments, and then doing postwork. It's not like I'm just some hack, and there are many others out there who make art that's MUCH better than mine without doing their own modelling. So I guess that what I'm trying to say is that there is a lot more to 3d art than sheer modeling alone.
