Prayers to you

I'd like to see that. I really envy those who understand 3D lighting. It is a constant sturggle for me.

good stuf

Awesome. I love the detail shots. Makes me really grasp the level of work you put in these things. Excellent.

So part of it is a drawing for those that post in this thread?

All of those are gorgeous works! Shiramune is awesome, isn't he? Had that one on my watch list for a while no w.

Shiramune is incredible. He has some new works up that are incredible. -
Those are great.

I really like that first one a lot. It's fun.
Have I ever mentioned that I have name envy? Rocketboy is such a good name.

I was actually surprised it was still available. -
Awesome work

With Poser work, everyone is different just as their personalities are different. Each person must find themselves in their own way. For some, being overly critical would mean frustration and that would lead them to quit producing all together. Personal limitations can also affect the finished work.
People like myself try our hardest and sometimes we get modest responses. Eh, that's life. Some don't have Photoshop or have limited knowledge to add more to their work. Some even get so bogged down in the technical aspect they forget to look at the over all idea. I have seen some plain renders that were awesome only because the elements were posed in such a manner that the they conveyed the feeling more than the technique or shading. If the character is flat or shows no emotion, no amount of post work will help the piece.
Doug is great.

First off, I always look forward to Doug's work because it's always an inspiration to me. I think maybe in a way Ferrari is an inspiration to Huyndai.... It gives me ideas, artistically and technically of what's available.
Second, to your point,
"For some, being overly critical would mean frustration and that would lead them to quit producing all together."
I walk away from 3D several times a month in frustration because, I feel I'm not developing fast enough and I'm just not happy with where I am and where I want to be. I always seem to come back because I do love it as an artform. I don't know that I would continue to do anything If I thought, well here I am, I don't need to push at this thing anymore, I'm just going to go through the exercise. (let me say that I don't think any of the poser artist who have posted in this thread do and that's part of my point) Having said all that, I don't think being over critical is the point.
I would never presume to speak for anyone but it seems to me it was more about not alowing yourself to stagnate with poser or accepting it as is(could be with any medium for art actually). Not whether you do it this way or that way. I've seen and talked with some people who have manged pretty realistic expressions within poser but got there differently.
I look at where I started (I posted something similar in my journal), I was just so happy to render a picture. Let's say I stayed there. Never developing beyond throwing clothes on a figure and rendering vs trying to understand lighting, textures, surfaces, posing, postwork etc, etc. I would have probably given up a long time ago because there would have been no way I could have continued to express myself with that limited skill set. It's seems to me everyone of the 3D artist who have posted in this thread talke about their journy so to speak when they post and image. They're all just different.
If I've misinterpreted anyone here, my apologies.
Failure is the mother of success. It's just sometimes I want to smack her.
Btw, I posted on DA but again, awesome piece. -
Recent Commissions I've had done from most recent to least.
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60690221/
This is my most recent commission. Admittedly, I got the pose idea while shopping for items for my 3D program. Never bought the item but I liked the pose so I saved it for future ref. Turn the page to this guy, Funkyalien. While I really like his work, in the past he did not do commissions. Well he just started so I jumped at the opportunity even though I was going to take a break from commissions and work on trades. I really love this one.

When I discussed this one with the artist Hugohugo, I told him I wanted a really fun image. The premise of RB and GR is that Rocket Boy can be serious and a little full of himself at times while Green Radiance is a free spirited smart alec who loves to get under his skin. I love the comic look of this one.

One of the first commissions of Green Radiance in her new costume. If thongs are an issue, don't view. This guy, Shiramune is a demon with Painter. This one is actually the second shot. The artist did not like the feel of the first on so he asked if he could make some changes and I agreed.

This is a commission by anime artist Darkvanessa. This is Green Radiance in her old costume. I love anime and this one is awesome.

Another guy who works in painter, Dsanchez did a really great job on this one. When I commission someone, I like to see what their interpretations on the characters are. I don't particularly care for exact duplications of the COH costume. One, because as I said, I want to see the artist come through and two, the COH costume is always a comprimise for me as it's a take on what I want and what's available in game. This has a thong so beware.

My first color commission, this is Green Radiance in her leather and Rocket Boy in his trusty Retro outfit. The artist, Meshsmoother, did a commission for Buckeyestar and I really liked it so I thought I would commission him.
I think I've been fortunate. I'm very happy with all of the commissions I've had done so far and all the artist were fast and great to work with.
Thanks for looking. -

that's too damn good for Marvel. He needs to sell it to Top Cow.

Agreed. That is way good. -

Holy moly,
Thanks everyone, I am very glad to meet you all.
There are so many good looking characters here.
Drawing them will be so much fun.
Well Dark Jester, Shuyak is ready to leap into action:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60325429/
I see Shuyak as a hero with a dark past. Nowadays he fights the baddies from afar and then hold them in a block of ice for the cops to find. However, when the baddies positivalutely must get up close and personal. He'll show them who he used to be. Frostclaw, the deadly assassin who's icicle claws leave no evidence on their victims except for the curious puddle right next to their body.
(Sorry, I have a tendency to daydream as I draw.
)
I am most likely going to do it for all the characters I draw.
I'll also rotate between drawing a boy character and a girl character. Sorry, Xertul, your character looks great but I'll do a girl character for Phoenix then you. I hope that's ok with everyone.
See you in the game.

Commented on DA but really nice picture! -

I started to ask why but you just said you dont know. but its pretty much official I am not the art sniper of old
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. Not "laugh at you" funny, I find the term funny. Believe it or not I've never heard the term before so it conjures up a funny mental image.... -
[ QUOTE ]
... art sniper status ...

I don't know why but the strikes me as really funny. -
I did one too. One of my early works. Still proud of that baby today. God, I remember how tough it was to get the pants to fit and how everyone hated the first expression I had for the image. Well, anyway, here it is.

That's freakishly good.

Impressive!! Very nicely done!
Too bad I was never able to figure out how to do ANY of that, I could barely figure out how to move around!

Meet too. Awesome work though. -

Hey Sartori! I was going to try doing Soul Train.... guess I gotta pick another toon...

Looking good!

The toughest thing for me is trying to get the light and shadows in my scene just like the imported background. My preference is to use objects but until I become independently wealthy, I'll have to use a mixture of both.
