For years I helped a series of friends edit and or clean up their online single pane comics in PhotoShop. Over time their comics became more complex and colorful  and lead me to the Akvis plugins for PS. One person in the group could come up with the most humorous comics but couldn't draw for shit, like me. Via a akvis forums I visited on and off I stumbled across the first version of Studio and recommended it to this guy to help him at least create a human form to trace over in his comics. Vicki, recall was 2.0 at the time. Neither of us could figure out the interface of Studio and it crashed none stop so we gave up. Shortly after that the same guy started writing what I will call semi-sexual based short stories and asked me to create the covers and other illustrations from scratch myself using Studio. He just wanted to concentrate in writing and not the drawing side and told me Studio was better and give it another try. Which I did to no success. . But in the Daz forums I learned about Poser and Renderosity. Purchased P6 and V3 was the dominate character at the time and been a Poser user and mainly Renderosity content customer ever since and now create scenes-rendered images for several of the original group who have also transitioned to short stories from single pane comics. Lately my job requires me to travel for long periods of time, and have actually tried writing myself since I can't always bring my runtimes with me. Nothing worth publishing yet as nothing is close to being finished.
