Here's my 2 cents. I personnally am an artist in more than 1 medium. I create music on 2 professional synthesizers (which at one time were not considerred to be music instruments and now everyone listens to them whether they know it or not many times.) I also oil, water paint and sketch and am much better at these than I am with Bryce. Many time I mix both models and my own booleans. Thus said, I can say I am qualified to answer here. Everything we do today is born off the backs of others gone before. Great minds before any one of us ever thought of 3d creation and art were laying down the foundation for us. If Egomania or whatever his name is that started this thinks for one moment that anything he is done is original... wake up! There is no new thing under the sun...especially in art. Stop ripping the flowers up and start smelling them. A true artist sees either with his eyes or mind and says "I can create music for the eyes to behold." P.S. the picture above took what...all of ten minutes to create and render. Yet, you have paraded it as art. Which it is. But it is also something that provokes no deeper thought than what it took my eyes to see it. Art makes the soul ponder and wonder. when someone describes your work as POWERFUL...then you can start an arguement. It's like creating a man from nothing and asking God for the dirt....and then telling God..." Hey, God...look what I did." and then God says to you..." OK. now do it without my dirt."
