Ok I didnt know where to put this so I am puting it here in the poser forum. I have a few other galleries, but one is a huge miff for me, why? because it wont accept my poser work as it is "obviouse use of digital tools" now it is under digital art so GO FIGURE. anywhooooooo Poeple scream all the time that Poser art isnt art due to the fact that the people dont make the models/textures/poses/props {what ever they didnt make in the picture themselves}. Do we scream at a photographer that he is not an artist because he used a model? Do we scream at a sculpture because he didnt first make the clay or metal or glass? Do we scream at a painter for not mixing his own paints? No...we do not. We ARE artists. We use a medium to creat art. we take a raw material and ""mold"" it to something else. That is art. It is no less art then the painter or photographer. and in some ways harder. I have even seen those that use poser as a base."paint" over it and claim they never used poser at all. Why is it the "dirty secret" of some artist? Why should Poser artist be made to feel as if they are not artists at all? I can guarantee you that it is not all that easy to just open poser and make a picture. It takes work, just like any art does. It shows part of the artist in each piece. So why it is frowned on...why it is looked down on??? Poser art is Art. it is not "poser crap" it is not "glorified barbies" it is not "obviouse use of digital tools" {god that is just...I mean come on it IS a digital tool} It is art, and those in here work at it. SO lay off the "poser crap" and that poser artist "arent -real- artists" Ok enough ranting. :) DarkElegance
