A few years ago I discovered digital art while surfing the net. I was immediately fascinated by and I wanted to try this for myself. I started out by playing around with Bryce and later on with Poser. But I wasn't quite satisfied with the results. Today I use Poser in combination with Photoshop to do most of my digital art, and in general I'm satisfied with the result.
I always use the basic Poser figures, never use purchased objects, I don't use a wacom, it's all done with the mouse.
