Here ya go...
...or any of the Ballistic Publishing books...
...to Zbrush central, home of just unbelievable detail and ability...
...running the gamut of 3D CG to hand-painted CG.
Ultimately its the artist, not the tool. Just as there are less-than talented painters/sketchers, there are outstandingly talented CG artists. I'm going to gather you never used a Wacom tablet with Fractal Painter. If you did, you couldn't possibly disparage digital tools with a straight face.
Now, if you're going to fall back on "opinion" and "subjectivity", then I wouldn't make blanket statments like yours authoritatively as fact, as you'd clearly be overwhelmed in the face of
truly talented digital artists. Stating that only
truly talented artists use non-digital mediums is more a sensational statment than merely just opinion, in my humble opinion.
"I like" is far different than
"one must", as far as opinions are concerned.
