So I've been posering for about 5 months now. All is good. I love what I do (most of the times) and I really enjoy this media. But today I showed some of my works to a very young graphic designer ( that is, a guy who probably just finished his four years of graphic design college) to see what he thinks. I showed him a little of my poser works and some of my photoshop and freehand works. He thought most of them were very good, but the Poser ones were, as he called it "just some things you put together". He said, "okay, so you took this woman and put clothes and hair on her and posed her like this. So.. what did you really do here anyway." And he didn't say it because he doesn't know Poser or understand it, but because that's what he thinks of it. You can imagine how I felt when he said that, after having spent the last 5 months sitting next my computer doing nothing (well, almost...) but Poser. I don't think that my Poser work is just "some things you put together"! There's a lot of hard work and time and effort that I put in my work, even if I didn't "creat" Victoria or whatever. Is it just me? Do people really see Poser as nothing more than a Barby Doll for grown-ups? Just had to let it out. That guy really pissed me off today!
