Thanks tda42. Not quitting at all, just thoughtful. Hopefully you will see much more from me in the future.

It was more a case of worrying too much about how good my work was supposed to be as opposed to how good I wanted it to be for me. 

Forgetting the first rule of any art: that you make it for yourself first and foremost. 

Your very right about one thing. The amount of art, Poser and otherwise, that is put on display on the web. I myself can only find the time (and the interest) to visit a handfull of Poser galleries on any regular basis. And there are so very, very many.

And even then most images are given a once over and maybe a brief comment, then on to the next... like junk food. It takes away the flavour and leaves you a bit unfulfilled. So you look at some more. Its like throw-away art.

I went to our State Gallery on the weekend. My Gf and I spend a full day there and didn't get all the way through. And it's not that big a gallery! We took our time, sat in front of some paintings and let them work on us for a while, discussed what we each saw in it. Whether it moved, or touched us in any way. It was fun, even for an artistic laymen like me. We'll be going back again soon to finish the gallery, or maybe finish it the next time.

Just some more thoughts.
