Just a few years ago (and it seems like yesterday) I decided to blow my doe and upgrade from Poser 10 to Poser 11. I liked the new Paulene character. She had more to wear than Poser 9 & 10's Allison who had even more than Poser 8's Bare Bones Roxie. But getting back to Poser 11, it wasn't long before Poser 12 was coming out with their super La Femme who was supposed to be vastly superior to any Poser model made before. But then like Bare Bones Roxie she came with very little in the way of accessories. It was just recently that they were selling Poser 13 with the same old La Femme, and now they are getting ready to bring out La Femme 2.

I started out with Poser 6 with Jessie and James. They had a great assortment of outfits and all sorts of extras that you could download for Free. I liked the old Poser 4 figures that were provided in the Poser 6 program. I couldn't figure out how to make the Poser 5 models that came with it but I loved everything else. I couldn't wait to get Poser 7 who's models Simone & Sidney that came out with a Spy theme. After that it was downhill for Poser and everything they provided with their product. I also liked Terai Yuki 2 and Miki 2Their later versions that I never bothered to get came with less and less than was provided for free for the older characters. What a shame!

Right now their rival Daz Studio is running circles around them, but even before when they provided content for sale in Poser they had a greater variety of products to provide for sale and were not as Prudish in the content that they made for their figures.

In conclusion I must say I had a hard time seeing except besides Poser 6 what made the new set of figures better than the last and the drop in provided content was very disappointing to me.

I have some questions about AI art? I hear that AI art is created by artificial intelligence. With it I have seen some fantastic looking landscapes and the beautiful women created by it are absolutely lovely I wonder what it's full capabilities are. I've also noticed some shortcomings. With it AI art is supposed to do some spectacular things. But then the same can be done with computer art programs like Blender, Daz Studio, Poser, Second Life and other such art programs. What's the difference?

Recently I've seen lots of my fellow artists who are creating stuff for sale. For many including myself we've got an art program to create the kind of art we like to create. Why should I buy their stuff when I can create art of my own using my own artistic talents ? And best of all I can make my art the way I like it done. In the early days I tried selling some of my artwork to no results. When I finally did sell some of my artwork it was because I was commissioned to create some special pictures for a friend.

I Too Am An Artist. I have many pictures that I have created and submitted to Deviant Art. Some I even did by hand. Most of the artwork I've submitted was done using the 3D art programs of Poser and Daz Studio. I'm sure there are many other art programs out there though I cannot name them all. With it I am provided with models , cloths, and other accessories that I can pose and create scenes around them as I see fit. With it I can create something pleasing to me that I like to look at, and enjoy sharing out there with you. I'm sure there are many of you who feel the same way.


In the real world I paint toy soldiers, some of which I have photographed and posted on this site. These figures I have used in many a game of Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop wargame. As a painter I find it hard to spend my money on buying the figures other fellow hobbyists have painted when I can paint my own. The same goes for art. I like to create my own art and on my computer I have what I need to do it along with the paints and brushes and other artist materials I have at home. I have not gone completely digital and have no idea on how to do it even if I tried. But while I'm still having fun doing it, I'm not stopping.
