Thank you BJ for putting to rest one of these misconceptions. I hope this gives all food for thought that even a " nobody " like me can still have a wonderful friend and mentor like BJ who honored me by being my artist of the week and alloqing me to add her link to my web site. Now, Can we just move on? Karen

excuse me, but BJ and all renderosity artists have a link that welcomes anyone to link back to there site... check it out...

I have moved on...... thank you....... and Goodnight, this is boring

Nice try Hisminky, but your words are only words. I will continue to post my work as I have been. Your thread as you call it was unknown to me until this evening. Thank you for the amusement. I look forward to seeing your great works of art in the future. I truely wish you well in all your endeavors. Have a happy and fulfilling life

ummmmmmm Lapis...... I can laugh now

Now this sounds like an all out threat : See, artists, especially poser artists, are a real inbred bunch. We talk amongst ourselves. Once it is percieved that you are cheating(even if you aren't) that stigma STICKS with you for a long, long time. And if you are thinking about eventually using poser as a means to earn a living, I can assure you, the perception from THIS bunch WILL come back to bite you in the butt. Take that one to the bank. Do I take this as a threat? or constructive critism?

I agree~ the HOT 20 should be re-worked. As all of you and myself have no control over this, it should be somehow, reconsidered?

Thank you Stormrage, I am learning. I only aquired poser in September. So, I am no expert, but contstantly learning. But I know that learning doesnt mean to trash another. I have never, no would I ever slander someone ( even the pink pony) for doing well. I have had success with Stormi's Bogarde! Now I would like to go on to other things. I did the Golden lady pic for Stormi and Dalinese as a favor. they asked me if I would, I did it a little to fast and yes there were mistakes. But the idea was to see if I could make an image using their new product. Do You remember when you first started and all your images looked the same? well, I made a very pretty image, and I am having a hard time letting that go! ( I like her). My thanks to you for your helpful comments Karen

Funny you should say that ....HisMinky..... Toxic Angel wrote to me and said he should be asking me for pointers! LOL Now, are you folks done bashing me? I know Erotica is seething with some sort of jealous rage, sorry honey, it doesnt suit you. as for the rest of you. say goodnight and I will keep practicing and you all will

It must be very very good. Why are you not in the hot 20? I have seen your work, it isnt bad. actually, it is quite nice. You see, I will not stoop so low as to make nasty comments about anothers work, as I know how hard it is just to render

are you saying I dont do hard work? I work very hard. I have wonderful mentors who have helped me. Disgust and shame is what I feel for those who would deny a newcomer a fair chance to explore what I can and cant do. i never said I was experienced in poser, far from it, but i have been able to make some beautiful images. It is true that they are beginners work. BUT I DID NOT MANIPULATE VOTES! I feel strongly about this and as I am an RN,JD, I am taking this to the highest authority Thank you for your helpful comments karen

I did ask how to make clothes stick, and I recieved very good advice from well known poser artists. I thank them!

Ok ........ enough of the bashing! I did write to Boris and Bell and did get their written permission to link back to their website only. As for my graphics list, I closed it! So try again! Sorry to sound like a witch, but just because a newcomer comes along doesnt mean you have to get nasty. Now, Who is cheating? Me? I dont think so. This was a hateful forum with only one purpose, to shame and humilate someone you dont even know. I hope you can sleep at night karen

I dont mind a critique on a picture, but nasty doesnt cut it. EX: posting a reply on one of my photos that it was after all.." simply a snap shot" was kinda rude. Of course it was only a snap shot! I thought that was obvious! I never claimed it was anything else except a snapshot! so, if you want to tell me how to "snap" a better picture, go for it, if you want to say it isnt your cup of tea, then send it to me in a message. nuff said

I have windows XP.... and it is only a month old.. that is why it so frustrating. I dont know if it is the program, or the computer... Thanks
