IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Three sailors spend their free time making music in an impromptu band.  


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

We've only recently picked up Poser and gotten to the point where we can begin
to work with it.  We wanted to use this image to test our skills there and it
was a mixed success.

Dana has really started to get good at posing people, for sure.  I think she
does life-like poses and she's always able to put them in the positions we
dream up.  That's the good news.

Unfortunately, clothing and hair are still pretty maddening for us.  We struggle
for considerable time to do what seems like simple tasks.  I guess we still
need practice.

All in all though, we learned plenty building this fun image.  I can only view
that as a success, even if it isn't perfect.
