Artist Reply: LOL...sorry, I don't mean to laugh at your comment, but your assumption that I am an amateur artist is kind of funny. I have been working as a professional for about a decade now, and can tell you that art is not in the tools you use, but the composition of the final product. There are many people who can model/rig/map their own models, but still never be able to make art with them. Everyone has their own skills, and knowing how to use ones skills defines how well they are able to create art. There are still many artists who believe that anything 3d is not "real" art, but alot more have come around to recognize art as art, without any pretentious posturing like that, so it is sad to see even among the 3d world people trying to instill a new level of posturing of what art is and what art isnt. It's a darned shame. I really don't see where your comment is trying to help, it just looks like an insult veiled in a self-affirming pat on your own back to make you feel better about what you do. I am quite confident in my skills as an artist, so if you have any comments to make about the art, I would be happy to hear it, but to comment on the process involved in creating art is a bit ridiculous, specially by someone who calls themselves a professional.
