Sorry for the laugh pbnj, but from an "adult" point of view I prefer the underage way of thinking, more hope, less stupidity. I see every day how many stupid people are walking around and how many of them are egomaniacs. I think that there is no hope for the world because of these people, they outnumber the "thinking" people. I'm glad that this little place is full of "thinking", interesting, creative people and I promise you all to keep it alive as long as I'll be able to drive a bus (... even if there are people who say that I'm >NOT< really able to driva a bus       )

pbnj:
I agree that people tend to treat Poser characters as dress up dolls.
It shows in the images and reflects the lack of creativity when a character
looks like a moulded toy with minimal joint movement.
Most characters look too stiff to me and are void of expression.

You are quite good at what you produce for Sara as well.
I have the original Sara, but don't really care for Sara II.  The character
looks like another fashion doll, to me anyway.

Some people tell me that I am having way too much fun with my characters.
I guess that they aren't having any fun with their characters.
Maybe they should...

bah that's not possible.  you're characters are so great and loveable becuz you have so much fun!  they have their own personalities and quirks, they are full of life.  they're not at all like the zombies and mummies that are all over the Poser community.

thank you   maybe its becuz she came with nothing and has now been all but abandoned but i feel very attached to sara and i see so many possibilities with such a cute toonish model.  it's a shame daz is too worried people are going to like her better then g.i.r.l. becuz there are a lot of people who missed out on getting version 1 of sara.  im going to start making some face morphs for sara 2 when i get done with a couple more sara 1 projects.

i have a new freebie character im going to upload tonight

I got in on this thread late, but I believe you have all summed it up great. I know I've been wondering what is going on at pp's for awhile now. I thought it was just me but when I was going though my health issues with my hands and wasn't able to type much, which means hardly any comments by me were posted on all my sites, and about that same time I noticed that the comments to my artwork posted on pp's site started to drop off as well. Hmm...I think to myself is there a link between me not being able to make comments and so now I'm not getting any either? lol Oh well, I know where and who my friends are, and like you all said, if I have to comment my fingers to the bone just so others will comment on my work, it's not worth the effort. I'll comment on what I think is good, not to stroke anyone's ego's
Okay, now let's all go over to the bar and have a cold beer and see if Norm's there yet

  No, I thought something about a dedicated Sara section in the free stuff page !

It could also be done by the ( now disappeared   ) admin of the free stuff page ( Bubba (   ) likes reggae too )

I'm with you GP, I've a very big "favourite's artist" page made of people who commented my pictures, but I like only few of them, because of that big list, I had a lot of emails every day saying that there was a new picture to see. Little by little all those posts stressed me and I began to stop watching pictures. Now I've to start choosing only what I like and comment only those pictures, or I will see nothing at all also here ! I realized only a little time ago that all those "friendly comments" caused me stress and inability to see ALL the pictures.

I'm very sorry for my behaviour because I've people outside here who comments my pictures every time even if I don't do the same with them !       people like artistheat, SamTherapy, zoku01, spook and Magician... I invited them here a lot of times but they never come...

I've to find a new way or I will loose the taste for watching digital art

Don't worry about when, where and to whom you make comments, Davide.
We all have noticed the absence of certain individuals from the galleries.
They come by when they can and that is fine with everyone, that I am sure.

The commercial sites are destroying 3D art and that is indicative of the responses
(comments and views) that some of us have been getting.

If it means making comments to images that have nothing to offer, just for the
sake of people to look and comment at your own efforts, then it is time to step away.
All that I can say is that I have proved that you do not need  commercial
products to make people want to see your efforts.

Over two years, I developed a style and content that was copied, but never equalled.
I made people laugh and want to look at my P4 characters that some, over time, knew as well as I did.
That was better than any amount of views or comments could ever achieve.
I made a connection with some of my readers and that is something that I will always remember.
Now comes the difficult part...
They will all figure it out  in time.
