Stunning. You have managed to capture the flesh world & bring it to the pixel world. (we can no longer say "real" anymore, because what I see is 'real'-as real as any image in a photograph is 'real' right?) I know in my spirit that you are at the tip of the iceberg of what we can all now accomplish in the Poser world. Your joy & love of creation shows in every render. Thank you for everything you have done & will continue to do...by your own hand and the hands of those you inspire.
