BIO
My screen name is bonbonish. My daughter, when she was a little girl, used to use bonbon as her screen name. I asked her permission to use her screen name with a little switch -- bonbonish. Because I am not as beautiful as she is... just bonbonish. I always liked to draw, paint and to sculpture. During the elementary school I had wonderful teachers in my 'art' classes, and I also had many extracurricular activities related to art. I liked very much the technical part of creating artwork... works with soft materials, hard materials, different paints and different pencils. At high school and after high school I took part in a lot of art workshops, where I had the opportunity to learn from great artists. I used to draw -- with carbons, crayons. I used to make soft sculptures -- from different kinds of materials and techniques. Some of the techniques I learned, some of them I developed myself. From the very moment I learned to write I was writing. Short stories, long stories, novells poems and scientific materials. Recently besides creating digital artworks -- I write children's stories and short scientific articles. "The Wild Virtual Enchanted Garden" is my recent children's story and I am selling it here at the RMP. I never looked art as if my major profession... Till my son has been diagnosed with cancer. In my professional life [Ph.D. in economics] I used to lecture... mostly about materials that I developed. While my son got all those nasty treatments and underwent numerous operations I had to stay next to him. I could not continue with lecturing. Several of my friends come to my rescue. They suggested that me to develop slides that contained my material and they will present those slides instead of me. I started to develop those slides... and I wanted them not just to contain nice written materials I wanted them to be pretty also ... I was looking for computerized graphic programs that could help me out... 3D graphics I started out with different kinds of free 3D programs, but I didn't stay with them... because lack of community support. I need people around me while I am creating something. Finally I found Poser 3 and later I upgraded to Poser 4 and till that day I stay with it. So, I guess I started out about 6 years ago creating 3D graphics... I found fascinating Poser ability to behave' as an acting stage -- where I can set up a whole sceen and tell a story with my image. And even I can animate that scene if I want to... 2D graphics I started out with Flash 4 ... As I already told, I was looking for a program that allows me to do pretty presentation slides. Flash was suitable for that. What's more, flash has lot of ability to manipulate pictures and vector drawings. I read a lot of tutorials from the Internet, and I learned how to use Flash pretty well. I used to buy royalty free images and incorporate them into my slides. Then I wanted to manipulate my bought images a little more -- and I found Photoshop 5 and Painter 5. Eventually I wanted to make my own images...and for that finally I found Poser. I like very much movies. And I like to read materials about those movies -- about the life of the actors, directors, about how the movie was developed, marketed and so on. I like to walk. I like to go the gym ... and I like to have a lot of conversations with friends and family.

Excellent work!

Thanks Osiris for your comment :)... Because of the word-count I had to cut the end of my story so I post it here: This is the end: I've come to enjoy these things very much, and have found I'm much more centered and comfortable with myself. I don't even mind that the teacher will leave the room from time to to time to laugh to himself. After all I don't look at it as him seeing a fat lady spinning, I look at it as a good deed for the day. After all, I helped him to laugh, and that makes me feel good, because I feel good inside with who I am.

In the fight some are privates and some are generals. It depends on how numerous and aggressive are the adversaries. Then there is civil where we are expected to take a sub position to all out war when appearing in court. A beautiful woman and a lame man find fault.

Thanks Meli and Bryce for your kind comments :)...... Meli, as you can see I had two main goals. One was to improve my energy level, and the second was to improve my 'focusing ability'. By exercising Chi Kong I can improve my energy level. As far as I understand, Chi, in English means energy. Energy in the body flows through channels, called meridians. The blood flows through our veins, and our 'Chi' flows through meridians. The average person nowadays do not know much about 'energy'. Even those with some type of higher education degree know just a little about 'energy'. In popular science the most famous example about energy is Einstein's famous equation, that tells us about energy. It says that all particle in the universe is energy, and energy can become particle and particle can become energy, through a given law. Back to Chi Kong, as far as I understand when the Chi [energy] is blocked, then the Chi [energy] cannot flow through the body, and most of the body parts don't get the needed Chi [energy]. The little movements of Chi Kong removes blocks, and increase the flow of energy throughout the body. So, by exercising Chi Kong I can improve my energy level. As I said earlier, my second goal was improving my 'focusing ability'. I assumed that I am mentally desperate because I can not accomplishing what I need for my kids and for myself. So I thought in order to improve the possibility to achieve success for accomplishing the things that I desperately needed for my kids and for myself, I need to improve my 'focusing ability'. I had a strong feeling that I need to improve my ability 'to connect' between the many scattered things and events that I need to connect. I learned that in order to learn how to 'connect the dots', I need to sharpen my awareness. I read, that by doing subtle movements I can improve my awareness. It has explained to me also that by doing less we are able to notice more. By doing those little movements of Chi Kong, my awareness improved.

Oh Koty I'm so happy that you are feeling better and that you are back here at Renderosity. I'm also glad that you found something to improve both your mental and physical health. Now to your new image. I love it. The colors and the paterns enhance her appearance. I like her expression very much. Wonderful work Koty.
BonBonish
Thanks for your nice words klapakling... I just would like to add here that I made a search on google and it seems to me that the most common translation of Qigong in English is Chi Kung.
