Like you I work in both mediums. For me, this forum is specific to Zbrush and the serious associated workflows, Ie., Zbrush to Maya, Zbrush to Photoshop, etc. I never show any of my other works here, but that is just me.
For me, Traditional sculpture demonstrates the ability of the artist but doesn't contribute to the development of Zbrush as an art medium and while I can marvel at your technique, I feel that showing it here doesn't correspond to the purpose of this site. at least as I see it. That said, I enjoy when artists occasionally supplement their postings with images from other mediums, including digital. It just seemed to me that with repeat postings of traditional sculpture, the focus of this forum disappeared.
There are other forums online like Deviantart or CGHub (despite it's title) which are showcases for all things 2D and 3D and they are great forums I frequent. There are other forums dedicated to all things digital --CGTalk or 3DTotal.
This forum, for me is dedicated to a specific medium and is both a venue for artists to demonstrate their abilities with Zbrush and also for artists to learn from eachother how to improve on their own Zbrush skills. I just don't want that to change.
Maybe I'm too much of a stickler and the last thing I would want you to take away from my comments was any sort of criticism of your excellent work and tremendous versatility.
Whether or not anyone agrees with my point of view about this forum or not, I just want to make sure my intention is not misinterpreted. You are a very talented artist and I consider you a peer and I would never say or do anything to denigrate your accomplishments. I would just prefer this forum to stay focused on Zbrush work so we can continue to participate in it's and our own artist development.
