Hey, I got sampled in the intro to a Poser 12 Tutorial Video

 Well, this is cool!

I was at YouTube and I saw a video titled "Poser 12 Tutorial: SuperFly Render Settings: Pixel Samples." Sounds like a fun topic, so I watched it. And yeah, I know that I have a weird definition of "fun," but I think we all know that! Anyway, the video opens with a bunch of still images flying by very, very fast, and I did a double-take.

"Did I just see what I thought I saw?" I asked myself (yeah, I often talk to myself because I love an intelligent conversation!).

I went back and slowed the video down and... Yup. I saw exactly what I thought I saw (and no, it was NOT a "puddy tat"). Right there at about the 2-second mark:

There it is, one of my illustrations! The line art of the guy and the gal in the car. That's so cool. 

And before ya ask: 

1. No, I don't get any money. 
2. Yes, I gave them permission (it's an option when I upload the image to their gallery).

For anyone interested, I created this illustration for a book of short stories. Honestly, I'm not happy with the way they printed the illustration (it was printed in b&w, of course). They were supposed to put it at the bottom of a page under the text, and the editor shoved it in sideways, centered on an opposite page. It looks AWFUL in print, so I really don't mention the book to anyone.

Nevertheless, here's a full-size copy of the color version (I like to add a little spot color when I post the pics online – it makes them a little more interesting):

 If you'd like to watch the video (which is a decent, fast little tutorial on pixel sampling; I learned stuff I didn't know), you may watch it here:

By the way, I glanced at a few other videos for Poser 12, and it appears that this illustration is in the standard intro for all of them. VERY, very cool! Apparently, this started last year (at least in November 2020), and I'm just now noticing it.

Heh. Ya snooze, ya lose!

It's still pretty cool.
