I don't know what they were called in Japan, but I do have fond memories of some Anime that was imported to America. Starblazers (Spaceship Yamato?) and Robotech, Captain Harlock and two others that I don't remember the names of.
I agree with Tormentor about sharing you artworks in many places. I have everything posted here at Posetteforever, and most of it in other galleries too, nine galleries at last count.
I have not shown any of my works in public for many years. I have also been away from the art field for almost as long. When my first new artwork was ready to be posted at the very end of last year, I hesitated for a few day. In the meantime I searched the sites that I knew about to determine where to post.
I rejected out of hand the sites like DAZ and Curious Labs, since by posting there they become de facto coowners and you have given them the right to use you pictures as they please to promote their products.
Then I found other things that I did not like about other sites. In the end I selected two places, Posetteforever and PoserPros. Even after making the selection, I found it difficult to actually do it. In the past, most of what I offered for viewing by the public have been poorly received. But the computer art culture was much different in those day. I have this year posted two of my olders works, that caused me a lot of trouble back then; there were well received in some galleries this time. One of those two is a moderized recreation from memory of one of my older works. The other is one that I discovered enough fragments of the old scene file that I was able to reassemble the original and rerender it.
As a result of how the first few were accepted here I started uploading them at
Renderosity too. Perhaps I was lucky, but most of reactions were positive and the and most of the people I encountered were nice. Oh, I did encounter some bad reactions at
Renderosity and at PoserPros, I will soon address that in a new topic, some of them have left me shaking my head, but in each case I am still posting in those places and the not so nice people have either left the site or have chosen to leave me alone.
Now for those of you yet familiar with
Poser characters,
Posette and the rest of the stock
Poser people, animals, and robots are not very popular with the 3D
Poser/Studio Communities. Most see them as being the model you play with until you can get a real model. Frankly I like the Posettes, how they look and how the behave with the software. Many remember their early poorly done work, and blame it on the models instead of the fact that they were beginners. The same is true for Don and Judy of
Poser 5; I suspect it will be true for Jessie and James of
Poser 6. I have used various models, some stock, some free addons, and some commercial addons. They each have their own benefits and disadvantages, I see them all as part of a talent pool to be used when they are the best choice for the picture at hand.
Most of my works include at least one
Posette based character. When I returned to art the
Poser 4 people were the most advanced and yet best to learn with. My skill having become rusty and my need to learn new techinques with the new set of tools, lead me do doing most of my experiments of late last year with
Posette and
Dork. Of the two, I found
Posette more fun to experiment with than
Dork; because, I was trying to learn how to create textures for them and with
Posette I didn't have to worry about so much body hair as would be required with
Dork. (Hair is my real weakness).
I have posted my works galleries of some sites where everyone there seemed to have considered
Posette as nothing more than a joke. My works with her have been welcomed there. The problem is that many have not taken the time to really work with her and see what she can do. At a couple of those sites, I have started to see othe
Posette caracters being used. While at one of them, my work in their gallery has lead to an unofficial "
Posette Portrait" contest.
In each gallery where I have uploaded my works, I have met more nice people. That is how I first encountered Gojira, from his comments on my works over at Rendervisions.
As I have mentioned before, I first found Posetteforever because of one of Tormentor's works that he posted to the newsgroups.
P.S. Friday, September 30[sup:95b5396077]th[/sup:95b5396077] is the one year anniversary of my regaining inspiration and my ability to work with art.

Some people use such as a weapon to become even with people they do not like. I prefer a place like here where people simply leave remarks. It becomes much more friendly. That is how I meet people who are nice!
