Je länger man malt, desto mehr ist man Lehrling The longer you paint the more you are an apprentice.

Brief introduction: SaintFox is
-a woman born 1962 at the north sea coast of Germany.
-moved to the german midwest in 1996
-to a small town that offers a lot of medieval inspiration
-has at least two souls
...and about the nick: It's a mixture of my haircolor and a tattooed fox cub that I wear and that looks so saintly as a vegetarian. As long as I can think I enjoyed being creative - and I always loved learning something new! As I had my first look here I so much wanted to do images like the ones I saw in the gallery.But it took me several years to be brave enough to post my first image here. After all I do not understand anymore what made me hesitate so long... I'm a professional artist/illustrator, not at least because of the permanent encouragement of the "Captain of my heart", he's my muse, my secretary, my "wonderwall" against those things that are able to disturb creative processes so easily. Most of my work is published by a german gallery in Gelsenkirchen and available at my own homepage, too. In late 2005 I wask asked for my first collaborated works and so I finally found a second profession in doing my own characters and textures what enables me to give my images even more personal style.
Whenever I start to work on something new - especially when working with characters - there is a moment when the bundle of polygons and pixels suddenly seems to look at me from the other side of the monitor, it's the moment when my creations get personality. This is, at least, what I like to "transport" with my products: artist tools that are able to inspire the people that work with them because they have a kind of "virtual soul".
A woman under influence
Major influences on my work come from other admired artists and music. Some of my favorites: Jan Vermeer van Delft James Jaques Tissot Rembrandt van Rijn Hajime Sorayama Olivia De Berardinis Marcus Gray Herb Ritts Helmut Newton Alberto Vargas Ricky Carralero Gerald Brom ...and, regarding the feelings that I have when doing my characters: Dr. Viktor Frankenstein! Music: Too much to count, alternative and classics preferred but sometimes it has to be soul or jazz, too. The second large influence are people I met here: They comment on my images and help me to enhance them, they share their knowledge and finally some of them decided to involve me in their projects. For me (as I grew up in the before-internet-age) it's still some kind of miracle that people are able to work together independent of where they live.
...and, before I forget, the strongest influence during the last years came from some lines I read about 15 years ago:
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.

You have earned much more comments since you are doing excellent pictures! ;) Ok, I am honest, I am not so much into guy pictures but this one is excellent! Pose, lighting and the shadows are very nice. The "kick" is the pose with his hat, it fits perfectly with the title and I think it's a good idea not to see his eyes. Well done! :)
Dragontale
Wow! An excellent picture!

"Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines!" Oder wie hat Bogey gesagt? ^^ Klasse, Meike. Smooth guy ;)Abgesehen davon, dass ich meinen Traum- Mann auch an meiner Seite habe, ich hatte NUR die assoziation zu einem Typ wie Harrison Ford, also den Abenteuer Rollen, die er spielt :) V

You're SO right about the male images getting less comments, which surprises me with the large population of females on R'osity! Ah well, this one deserves recognition.. very well done.... Just remember to do the images you like to do and not worry too much about the comments! (Now to take my own advice. ;))
webdancer
Outstanding! Just enough to grab my attention! Can't wait to see his eyes! I love eyes. They can tell you more than any other thing, though I do check out the butt, too!
