I found this forum in a roundabout way... but at least I found it. I like what I see but I have some questions before I post a couple of pieces.
1. In the 3D gallery, what constitutes "original characters"?
for original character it is a character you or a non-professional created. Like my character Winterhawk, or even Lady Heromorph. if you can find them in a book, comic, or something like that then they go elsewhere.

2. Do these have to be new morphs, textures, or does it include using props and morphs from the usual sources? Example, I have a piece or two using DAZ characters, props, etc. But the lighting, posing, outfitting etc is my concept. Acceptable?
yes it certainly would be.

3. Or do you put such as these in other areas (such as "SciFi" or "Fantasy")?
Sci-fi and fantasy got there own spots because they were getting a lot of posts. so they sort of got their own sections due to volume.

4. I still consider myself a hobbyist in the 3D area. But I approach my 'projects' as an assignment with a goal in mind (Ex, I have a fantasy type book and a 'future/sci fi' magazine cover)? Are such finished works acceptable in the galleries?
they most certainly are.

5. If I wanted a mod to look at the pieces and help direct to the appropriate gallery, what's the best way to get such sage advise?
either e-mail or PM. any of the site mod, including myself will be more then happy to help. A lot of us have day jobs etc. so it may take a day to reply, but we will all reply eventually. my e-mail is
winterhawk200@yahoo.ca if you ever need my help. just remember to put heromorph in the subject line or my spam filter may eat your message.

6. I assume postwork in a 2D package is not considered manipulation that manip is reserved for heavy 'chopping' of a photo. Correct?
correct, here a manip starts with a photo, no matter how much you post a 3d base image, here we still consider it 3d.

Thanks for the advise and insight
