I'm so in on pokeydots idea... this isn't really related to whether or not we, as poser users, are artists, but the whole idea is interesting... As far as, "Am I an Artist"? goes... shrug who knows... I make pictures that I like... I don't really consider myself an artist, but others have told me differently... this argument has been had before... people say you're not an artist if you're making your image with poser (or whatever application), because you didn't make the figure, and you didn't make the clothing, and you didn't make the props... well... did the painter make the canvas? The paint? If it's a portrait, did they make the person they're painting? Landscape? Sunset? Poser is the canvas... the figures are the paint... YOU are the painter...
