But when you are a real artist, then you will probably sketch your 3d model before you start to model. And actually tools like ZBrush are quite similar to painting. In modo, ZBrush and other tools you can paint on a 3d-character to make realistic textures.

If you ask me, this is not only like painting an image, it is way more, you are more close to copying an animated figure, you do it in 3d, more realistic.

And besides that you simulate life, you try to give them a personality, character.

If painting is a sin, then modelling and animating is way more sin. This is straight logic.

And what about real sculptures. Are there no sculptures in Muslim architecture? This would be basically the same problem. They are shapes and forms of animated beings.
