I am not a big fan of simply using digital tools as slick tricks.
For example programs like Poser, which "out of the box" allows for creating digital bodies. Without and "eye" or training, the results tend look "slick", but tend to be stiff and mechanical.
Photoshop has many filters which can provide amazing effects to photos, but to me, unless they are your own photos or bring you own "touch" or "vision" to the image, it is no better than plagiarism.
Nearly as offensive to me is the practice of rendering a photo by hand in pencil (or any other medium). Why? What is the point of that? A photo does a better job and unless the rendering "tells the story" better...... meh.
Photos make great reference. Digital applications are powerful tools. Poser can give a "head start".
Anyone have other views and comments?
