First of all I want to say I'm really very glad so many seem to enjoy my images! I'm very honored by that. But I want to say that I'm not all that amazing.. I'm just a regular hobbyist that have been playing with poser for a while now. The other day I had a debate with some people about the word talent. I don't belive in that word. I don't belive that some people "get something for free" because they're "talented" In art some people might have it a little bit easier if they have an eye for what looks good and what doesn't.. but as far as the technical stuff, I belive in practise. Telling an artist, athlete or whatever that "Oh, you're so talented" belittles the amount of effort they put into something in my opinion. Nobody gets anything for free. Everybody has to work for it, and it's the amount of effort, practise and hard work that makes you get better, I truly belive that. Sure, in some cases certain things require you to have necessary condition, for instance a marathon runner will probably do better if they're not overweight or have too much muscle mass, where if you play basketball it might be easier if you're quite tall etc. But to be good at what you do you still have to pracise and work at it. I belive that anybody can do almost anything if they put their mind to it. I've attached my very first poser image I ever made above.. There is nothing special about it.. the lighting isn't brilliant, the colours don't pop and it feels quite bland.. but that's where I started, that's where I'm coming from and I'm constrantly trying to improve and learn new things. Don't ever be afraid of trying new things and explore, that's how you learn and evolve! :) I hope I get what I want to say across well enough.. I'm not very good with words.. this is not meant to offend anyone, but rather it's meant as inspiration.
