The thing with Poser is that the subjects look like lifeless dolls. THere might be some merit to using Poser as a model base but I think you need to be less exact when Painting over the model. Use Poser to help with the pose basics and maybe the lighting but then it's up to you to leave the Poser base and bring life into the figure.

I'd even suggest using nude, non-textured models with hard lighing. Then sketching manually over them as a beginning sketch for a new Painting the separates itself from the Poser model.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, I agree with the lifeless doll thing about Poser, I had started using it for foreshortning and perspective baseline models. With the newer and better rendering speeds got caught up in letting it do my work for me. <smile>

...and the sharp learning curve and price of software for doing my own modeling and meshes.
