I did a couple of "tutorials" you may find of use :)

Rather than the normal "How to's", one's about resources in general for digital art, the other's about digital art as therapy.
Also have a couple on site about scene creation and improvement in post work.

I preffer "scene" creation to "pin up" art (used as broad terms).
If I'm going to make the proverbial "Naked Vicky In a Temple WIth A Sword" (NVIATWAS as you'll see it reffered to here, lol), I'd rather build the entire temple with other folks :biggrin:

Roleplayer? YAY! Sorry I'm old school geek: D&D all the way ;)
One reason I got into digital art was I always wanted to make my D&D scenes come alive, so that's what I've been doing.

A lot of folk, like myself, only use Poser to create the basic people/creatures/poses etc, and import into other apps, to build and render.
I use Vue currently, others use Bryce, Carrara, Lightwave, and more

This one was made with Vue 6 Infinite

Imagination, time to learn it all, and being able to buy the apps and a decent PC,which are less expensive than a lot of hobbies = many many hours of wonder creation :)
