I suppose it's possible that you stumbled on this site by accident (as opposed to an invite or referral). If that's so, here goes the best I can explain.
All of the pictures here were done using various 3D and 2D graphics programs. My favorite 3D programs for now are Poser and Daz|Studio. For 2D, GIMP is my choice. These choices are greatly influenced by cost. GIMP and D|S are free, Poser is in the under $200 price range.
A lot of people think that computer facilitated art is not real art. Like there's no button in any of these programs labeled "MAKE ART".
The program is a tool, just like brushes and such for painters. Saying something is not real art because a computer was used is like saying DaVinci didn't
really paint the Mona Lisa - he used a brush!
This is not complete yet, but I wanted to have something in this space. It should grow as time goes on
