I just had a wonderful conversation with another deviantART member and I thought the exchange of ideas between us was too damn good to waste it - so here it is.

Enjoy!

Takkun2021 -- Why not try modeling it out, instead of posers?

Tasharene -- Why not posers instead of modeling it out?

~Takkun2021 -- Because you can make your render look far better, if you actually know how to model and texture. Also, your lighting is good, but the textures could use a lot of work. Working on tangent normals to create 3D depth to the characters instead of being so smooth would help. And, your work isn't even your work, then.

=Tasharene --I like my art as it is and I like the textures, lousy as they are, thank you very much. I don't mind the fact that the models I use are not my work; even their creators don't mind it, cause they earned the money that I paid for them. People who commission me don't seem to mind any of it, either. Thank you for the critique that I did not ask for, and now, if the quality of some elements of my art bothers you, you are free to move on to other galleries. Have a nice day.

~Takkun2021 --No, what bothers me is that people can just pose a mannequin without understanding a single thing about creating in a 3D program, and people will call it art.

=Tasharene --Creating a basic render in a 3D program is NOT art. Turning a 3D render into an image that tells a story or conveys an emotion, however, IS very much art. Take it or leave it.

~Takkun2021 --A friend working for Blizzard's modeling dept said they'd be fired for using posers. Why? Because it's not yours, and makes the work that much more stale and unoriginal.

=Tasharene --Do I work for Blizzard? :ohmygod: Look, your arguments have been used and re-used millions of times, by other people equally frustrated that someone dares to use Poser, so such discussion is indeed stale and unoriginal. If you think my art is not art, if you don't like what I do, then simply GO ELSEWHERE and stop bothering me and yourself, ok? It's not that someone forces you to view my gallery, really. :bye:

~Takkun2021 --I saw only a new pic that happened onto the homepage of dA, not even beginning to touch the rest of your gallery. People who use posers are literally the laughing stock of the 3D art community, like people who paint "abstract" and "modern" art, while calling themselves a painter.

=Tasharene --Fine, so I am the laughing stock of the 3D art community. So?

~Takkun2021 --That means your work is worthless, and you're making "art" as much as the girls that take pics of themselves and throw a PS filter on it.

=Tasharene --Cool. So? Sorry, but I still don't see a point in you telling me all these revelations.

~Takkun2021 --Oh, in no way am I saying not to use posers, just that your work is straight up crap for doing so.

=Tasharene --Fine by me! I just really fail to see the reason why you decided to enlighten me about it.

~Takkun2021 --Strictly boredom, when sickness prevents going to work, there's not much else to do but be honest.

=Tasharene --Ah, I see. Pity, though, I hoped you had a point. Anyway, I'm glad that my lousy images have prevented you from dying of boredom. And thank you for the good laugh.

~Takkun2021 --No, the only point is that poser models are for the people who could only use paint-by-numbers, since they didn't have the skill on their own.

=Tasharene --Yeah, you said that many times already. You're getting repetitive, dear. I suggest you stop playing with the crap in my gallery now (it stinks, ya know) and find another artist you can be honest with. Cheers!


Aaaand... I am still giggling inside.

I...hate...people...that short sited. I really do.
Those people do not sit there and scream at a person for buying a tube of paint...they do not go to the photomanip section and rail at people that use stock photos, they do not have a fit for someone buying clay instead of making "with their own hands".  Even some of the biggest companies use "stock models". it is a -fact-.
I do know of some companies that very happily use poser.
Never mind people that buy are simply because they like it.
Art doesnt come with a disclaimer of what it was made with.
GUH I really hate people like that. Their nose so far up in the air they get nose bleeds.
