Description
this is my first ever dedication - over the last ten months or so since I've been posting at the Poser gallery I've been inspired by the talents of many artists and have been impressed with how willing they are to help and give encouragement to others. Shardz is certainly one of those who has had kind words to say, is supportive of the community in general and is also humble about his own work. Your work is certainly more than "smoke and mirrors" - (that is what you meant by "S&M" isn't it?)
I did this mainly to prove to myself how hard it is to do what some of these guys (and gals included!) are able to do week in and week out. I've come quite a way in ten months, but still have a long way to go.
Thanks to all who have had kind things to say over my early founderings in the Poser world:)

Holy Scarabs! I'm so sorry I'm late!! Between trying to recover from the flu and working, I'm just not on the ball this week!! WOW! This is such an amazing and detailed piece of artwork, I am more than impressed, Alan!! I am very honored and thrilled by this outstanding image and all the work you put into it! The Egyptian theme is one of my favorites and is very well done here! The character is absolutely beautiful in her royal appearance, especially in that graceful pose and her most elegant attire! I wouldn't even mind being a slave to her! lol! I must say you raised the bar here in this glorious effort and did a superb job on asll aspects, better than I ever could! The setting is majestic, the fire braziers and the smoke and fire look awesome, the Anubis statues really are a great touch, and the background ties it all together!! The lighting is fantastic and the way you did the water is perfetc! When do I move in?! I am speechless with your wonderful words and I must say that this really touches me very much! I love to hear the sizzling of CPU's, and it's a great feeling to push the envelope once in awhile! You certainly did that here marvelously!! I honestly must say thank you for everything as I feel you are an outstanding part of the community, Alan! I just wish I could quit work so I wouldn't miss so much here! Thank you again, this is superb artwork!! Keep up the outstanding work!!
