Description
This is a tribute to the old anatomy drawings that you might find from artists of legend. But alas, this ends up being a humorous parody in 3D.It does makes me want to grab my pen and pencils and go to a figure drawing session. (See my scraps for some traditional figure drawing)

I am trying to make a point that all expression can be art regardless of the tools. The originality and execution of the final piece can elevate one over another. That very point you make in your comparison of Tolstoy v. Twilight. Thank you for the long reply. I appreciate your perspective on this. FYI: I can draw offline, if you look at my gallery folder titled "Other".

Oh, I know what you were trying to say. Sure, a kid draws a few sticks on paper, it's art. It's art to her and you don't mock her and say, this isn't art, this is two sticks. What I was trying to respond to in your journal was the overall sense that poser artists feel that they are enferior to the 3D modelers and digital painters who do all their own work. They always feel the need to defend themselves if a digital painter or 3D modeler blows off their art as derivitive. The truth is, most of it is.:shrugs: And most poser artists have very thin egos because they know what their art constitutes. They leave that detail out and stick to the notion that their "self expression makes them legit artists." They grumble when no one in the know takes them seriously. Topically speaking, it is art if all art is is self expression. My relative who is my sponsor, who is also a psychologist, fully understands how Studio works and she uses it, in some cases, rare cases, as a therapy tool for abused children. She is fully aware that Studio is content driven. It's a huge electronic collage. You can create a picture with it. And the outcome is artistic whether it's bad or not. But there is still a huge difference between a legitimate artist who self creates and an artist who uses what others create. One is more legitimate than the other, whether a Poser artist is willing to admit that or not. That is why subconciously all Pose artists get defensive. It's psychology 101. They know exactly what they are doing. I have only begun to use CG software and I am already aware of the grumblings of Poser artists against the world.

Thanks for the comment. I agree that most art (Poser or otherwise) is derivative. A lot of people are still exploring the possibilities of the tools.
The art is in the sophistication of the use of the tool, and in the image being communicated. Look back at early use of the Wacom tablet. Digital Art created using a tablet and pen device in the early days was brushed off as a toy. It wasn't until the tool became a little more sensitive and the applications became more advanced and some people started really exploring the use of these tool, that we now have people making amazing images using a tablet and pen interface. Individual skill does matter, in how well someone can manipulate their tools to craft images that impress.
I'm watching your gallery and I look forward to seeing more of your work

My God, when I first saw this I thought it was a traditional painting, the effects of the renders are very cool, incredibly realistic.

Not sure why you're asking that question James. You're well qualified to know how I did it.
But in case you really aren't sure... Poser with Michael 3 and a stone bench from (Transpond?). Rendered as you see in Poser, then in Photoshop I threw a grungy background down, laid the render down as TIF so that it had the alpha knockout to remove the Poser grey background. Then another grunge on top and just messed with erasing bits and adjusting colors and noise.

Actually, Leonardo would probably scoff and point out all the muscles that weren't accurate enough.
