It is a pretty simple question: Am I going to have to move from Poser to Daz Studio sooner or later? I still use Victoria 4 and I have a LARGE library of poses, props, textures and all that for V4. I know the newer models look better, but they are also (probably intentionally) made to be a pain in Poser it seems, and also I don't know if I want to start over with a new model and need all of those poses, props and textures. Plus, I have a lot of custom textures I've made for V4 like most of my costumes I use. So: am I going to have to switch sooner or later? How hard would that be? I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this, and if they have already done this. Thank you!

I had always been curious about comics when I was younger. It wasn't something really meant for girls. They were supposed to read things like Archie or something I guess. I started with Supergirl in the old Superman Family comics. She was blonde and has a few issues and looked great and I really connected with her. It was pretty basic comic book stuff though, but that was what got me into reading comics. Then I discovered the New Teen Titans and absolutely loved it. That's was the first time that I learned the name of a creator, which in this case was Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Donna Troy is STILL my Wonder Girl, and DC has crapped on her for 40 years and keeps trying to replace her. Grrrrr. But those Titans were so good. Then came the big Crisis on Infinite Earths (I think it was called). Yes, he killed off my Supergirl, but it was drawn and written so well, and she felt so heroic that I couldn't be anything but sad. And it was amazing. Every huge crossover owes a

Eclipse. Forcing this on the users is the final straw. Maybe I'll share art here again some day, but I'm not going to gripe about Eclipse then tamely go on. It stinks, it's awful. It feels like the "new CEO effect". Work long enough and you'll experience it. Some new boss shows up and, to justify his/her existence, there is something new forced on everyone that "works perfectly!". Ugghhh. I've experienced that a few times, and DA feels that way. I certainly will not give them any more money for a core membership again. Then there is the censorship of "deviant" art. After having one of my most tame pieces censored by "deviant" art, I just didn't feel a desire to put anything else up. That name really sticks in my craw, as you can see. There are some really great, imaginative artists here though, including some long time friends. I will still check in now and then to see what wonderful things you all have made. Right now I am enjoying my writing on Blue Moon (google it - I
