Art is art

But is craft art?

Depends if it's arty.

Only difference I can think between the two is that art cannot be reproduced and hold the same value as the original while crafts can.

Sounds about right.

I think two threads are cool because I am surely not going to put my amateur drawings in the same place as professional art

This is exactly why I think that the two should be kept separate. I would not dream of posting my efforts alongside the work of those whose work is good enough for them to make a living off of it.

Unless....you want to merge this with the forum members' creative writing thread and make it a thread for all member content?

The Art thread is for discussions about anything involving art. ANY ART.
I don't care if you are painting eggs and posting it there, but if you want to be anal about it...

Most of these were produced in 2020 or earlier....





This is based on a sample scene. The setting and lighting are the same, but I changed the look of the character and the camera angle.



Most of my DAZ models are of women. The software seems to be skewed that way.
Oh, what am I saying, I prefer women to men.

I see that I have several DAZ files without any saved renders.

Amazing art. Maybe one day you'll be minting your own NFT's.

Just the figure. Still want to find a background and add some effects.

Shall we go with "The Art & Craft Thread" for now?

Yup

@Nicholas I think your art is really awesome. Your creativity seems to be on another level, dare I say "heavenly".

Craft isn't Art!
