Post subject: The interview of the month with Poserkatz !
Hi friends <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> ! Here I am for our famous interview of the month ! Beware of imitations <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_naughty.gif" alt="" /> ! We were the first ones, we are the best ones <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ...
<br />
( <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_liar.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_liar.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_liar.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" /> ).
<br />
This time we interview Poserkatz, who lives in Germany. I've already told you all the things I know about Germany during the Ahjah's interview (Beer, cars, freeways, gasoline etc.), but there could be something more: I know for sure Germany because I travelled it all in one night on a freeway from south to north with my old station wagon and in certain points the car's heater was not enough because it was damn cold, so I saw all and in the middle of the night I lost the right direction and went in an american army base ( I remember the soldier seeing me with a strange expression while I passed the gate ) and I realized it only when I saw all those american cars (They don't hurt me a lot when they caught me).
<br />
<br />
So, it's enough with my nonsense ! Here is the interview:
<br />
<br />
<br />
- Tell us a little about yourself...personal background, family, etc. What ever you are comfortable with.
<br />
<br />
I'm 43 years old, an idealist, not interested in making money and all kind
<br />
of materialism, my drugs are art, tabac (roll my own cigarettes) and italian
<br />
coffee (cafe e latte). I speak to much and i'm lazy (no sports, i hate working
<br />
for earning money, unfortenately i have do it sometimes).
<br />
I prefer spiritual family, so i have no contact to biological family since
<br />
over 10 years (I don't miss this people).
<br />
Since about 2 years, i live together with a lovely woman (she is creative, intelligent and honest), i love her truly and we build also an alliance,
<br />
which give us power to live our life in that way we want. Since about 11
<br />
years, a cat (black & white, with great kind of humor - yeah! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lmao.gif" alt="" /> Really!) accompanied me through the good times and the bad times.
<br />
<br />
- Where are you now?
<br />
<br />
I'm at home now, sit in front of the PC and try to answer the questions. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Do you have a personal site ? If yes where is it ?
<br />
<br />
I have an older website (since May, i don't have it actualised), only in
<br />
german language, and it has nothing to do with Poser. I'm working on a
<br />
small Posersite, but it will be next year to finish it.
<br />
<br />
- Can you describe what you see from your favourite window ?
<br />
<br />
My favorite window are my own eyes; if i look in the mirror, it's sometimes
<br />
great (if my soul is up) and sometimes horrible (if my soul is down).
<br />
<br />
- Ther are beautiful girls there ? (Yuhm! Yuhm!!)
<br />
<br />
Yep. My girlfriend (read above), my own made posergirls <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/nicetongue.gif" alt="" /> and Posy (slime).
<br />
<br />
(Tormentor: Posy <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ? There <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ???)
<br />
<br />
- Do you fart alone or do you consider farting a nice way to socialize and make new friends ?
<br />
<br />
Farting is a nice way to keep people on distance. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- How are written "fart" and "burp" in your language ?
<br />
<br />
I think "furzen" und "rülpsen".
<br />
<br />
(Tormentor: <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> , my collection increases)
<br />
<br />
- There's a typical drink there ? Do you like it ?
<br />
<br />
Espresso e cafe e latte, japanese plumwine and white grape-juice (from bunch of grape).
<br />
<br />
- What's your favourite food ?
<br />
<br />
Noodles in most forms (italian and chinese), Pizza, assorted fish
<br />
and french fries (really the fries are from belgium <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" /> ).
<br />
I rarely eat meat and i hate american fastfood (except fries).
<br />
<br />
- How long have you been working with digital art, 3D and/or Poser?
<br />
<br />
In 1996 i have done a 1-year-lesson to multimedia (digital art 2D & 3D),
<br />
but i'd experience in making music with Synthe/Sampler, Sequencing with
<br />
Cubase on Atari ST from 1986 - 1994, since 1998 i use Cubase with PC.
<br />
1998-1999 i worked for the City of Duisburg (making a CDROM, programming,
<br />
conception & layout), since than, i have timelimited jobs on several projects
<br />
(sometimes silly and extreme boring). There are no Jobs in multimedia for me,
<br />
because i do not have experience with printing (classical rules in agencies)
<br />
and I don't have the graduation i would need to have (i'm highly selfmade by
<br />
learning those things, the 1-year-lesson was only a basement to start).
<br />
And for that i don't really work in multimedia anymore since about 2 years.
<br />
1998 i'd Poser 3 in german language, but i don't have time to work with it.
<br />
Since begin of this year i work with Poser 4 ProPack in english.
<br />
<br />
(These ones are from Nex)
<br />
<br />
- Who is your favorite Sports team?
<br />
<br />
Sport doesn't interest me, sorry. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- What made you choose a "Tiger" avatar? *optional*
<br />
<br />
A Tiger is a great wild cat, but even a cat (grin) - i like cats,
<br />
e.g. my cat, snowleopards, lions, catwoman <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> , tigers, catwoman <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> ...
<br />
<br />
- What do you think of Poser5 and the Judy model, was it all a waste
<br />
in your opinion?
<br />
<br />
I have a 500MhZ PC with 192 MB RAM (No money), Poser 4PP works good
<br />
under WIN98, my monitor has 17", 800x600. So, Poser 5 wouldn't work
<br />
under 1024x768, Poser 5 is too big to me (I don't like blowup-programs),
<br />
and Judy doesn't interest me, even V3 and M3 and so on...
<br />
<br />
- Have you met "schicken" ?
<br />
<br />
Too often (rofl)! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Would you say, that you have a good sense of humor?
<br />
<br />
Good sense/bad sense... I don't know. I have a special kind of humor, not
<br />
everyone's thing. I like the chaotic and anarchy of Marx Brothers, i like
<br />
strange humor (Monty Python, Dave Allen (early 80s?), Mr. Bean, Tati) but
<br />
i hate dumb humor a la Jim Carey <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_naughty.gif" alt="" /> and brainless jokes.
<br />
<br />
- Ask only if he drink Beer, would you say Germany has better Quality and higher standards for it`s Beer?
<br />
<br />
Sometimes i drink "Alt-Bier", "Kölsch" and "Weizenbier" - i think, german beer
<br />
is very good because the "Pure-rules" of 16th Century.
<br />
<br />
- Do you consider yourself an artist or a hobbyist when it comes to digital art?
<br />
<br />
Difficult. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> There are too many people, who say "Hobbyist" and truly it is an excuse for desinteresting in make it as well as possible. Almost always i try
<br />
to give my best and still learning by doing in Poser, Photoshop and all the things, i do. Therefore i prefer to answer: I try to work professional, but i'm an adept, not a master. In every case i'm an artist. To be artist is not a question of "good or bad handwork or technical work", that's secondary - to be an artist is question of conception of life, mode of life, a way to be.
<br />
<br />
- Do you use a particular tecnique ?
<br />
<br />
Not really, i'm always searching for the right technique for special works.
<br />
But experimenting and imaginary are very important to me. It's intuitive.
<br />
<br />
- What got you interested in digital art?
<br />
<br />
My girlfriend is a painter/illustrator. I don't. And so Poser is a very good tool for me (i have an eye for colours, for moving, sceneries, positioning), my tries to get handpainting i will never show <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> .
<br />
<br />
- Do you use only Posette/Dork for human characters in your pictures ? If yes why ?
<br />
<br />
Often i use Posette/Dork and other (lowpoly) figures, on close-ups i need to use sometimes V2 or M2 for the highly morphs (more polygons, more options).
<br />
I think, to use only V3 and co is a hype, mostly use from people, they have absolutely no talent! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_wall.gif" alt="" /> They get morphs from others, textures from others, poses from others, they are no artists, they are only "Renderists" <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_sick.gif" alt="" /> .
<br />
<br />
- Do you have formal training or are you self taught?
<br />
<br />
multimedia basement formal, all other things (music, making art, Poser, websites, writing poems and stories, washing, cooking and so on) are self taught.
<br />
<br />
- What's your favourite artistic style?
<br />
<br />
Beyond mainstream. Try to do new things, finding own language in making art. Technical i don't have a favorite style.
<br />
<br />
- Do you have other hobbies or special interests?
<br />
read above <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Do your farts smell very bad or you fart like a ninja and all the fault goes to the fat dude ?
<br />
<br />
That's different. I can send you probes <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lmao.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Where is your strength coming from?
<br />
<br />
On my own. My spirit, my soul, my own thoughts and feels, and <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_pray.gif" alt="" /> meditation.
<br />
<br />
- Where is this bra coming from ?
<br />
<br />
This bra? Which bra? I don't see a bra actually. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Do you know what is a "schicken"?
<br />
<br />
in german, the word "schicken" means "send". That's true. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
- Will you invite us at your birthday party ?
<br />
<br />
I don't celebrate my birthday, it's totally unimportant to me. I celebrate only dates, if i have a motive for that (i'm selfwilled).
<br />
<br />
(Tormentor: <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> No free cake, one more time <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/bawling.gif" alt="" /> )
<br />
<br />
- Do you use to fart when you're in the tub just to see all those beautiful bubbles ?
<br />
<br />
Yep. I like it.
<br />
<br />
- What's your favourite digital art site ? (*wink* *wink* *blink* *blink* *bribe* *bribe*)
<br />
<br />
Äh....mhm.... Posetteforever?.... äh.... (I want to live and getting old).... äh.... Posetteforever! Seriously, i like the folks here.
<br />
<br />
(Tormentor: that's the right spirit <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ! (unloading the gun))
<br />
<br />
- Have you a suggestion for posetteforever ?
<br />
<br />
Only one little critism: The actualising is not the best, it's very slow,
<br />
especially the "new gallery comments", i have to leave the site for actualise.
<br />
<br />
- What's your favourite book?
<br />
<br />
Several books (too much to tell all). I like to read SF (Philip K. Dick, Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, James Tiptree Jr.), R.A. Wilson, Umberto Eco and a lot of stuff from the "romantic aera", but also classicals (Dante, japanese/oriental fairytales, Shakespeare (the best dramatician).
<br />
<br />
- What's your favourite TV show ?
<br />
<br />
Since over 15 years i don't have TV (I have an PC-TV-Card for use to look Videos). And i don't miss the shitty crap! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" />
<br />

No, only in tub.

All movies of the Coen-Brothers. The movie "Blade Runner", "Gattaca", "Duck Soup" from Marx Brothers and "Being John Malkovich".

<br />
<br />
I'am always going, but i never arrive <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />

Nice to know more about you, I don't know if this was a coincidence <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> , but when I open PosetteForever to read your interview I was listening simphony 9 of Mahler <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_boohoo.gif" alt="" /> (I love his music, I'm a great fan of him, he made music that came very inside from the soul) and I read that you like him too.

At first, thanks to all the comments.
<br />
You're people are really nice <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
Hey rayera - you're a Mahler-Fan, too??? That's great!
<br />
Of course it's not a coincidence! It's a synchronizity. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
The 9th have the best Adagio, i've ever had listen to.
<br />
But the 2nd is the best Symphony i know!
<br />
<br />
However, it's very good, to know another Mahler-Fan yet! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_boohoo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />
