A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
ÂÂ
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

I can't imagine that much snow - (native Floridian) - but love the shot. There's such mischief in his eyes - he's a beautiful dog!

Sure you didn't put a human brain in yer dog buddy's cranium? Kinda figured you lived somewhere east of the Rockies--not sure why--just had a 6th sense about it. btw--it rarely snows here--when it does it just melts w/in hours...
jocko500

I know that doggy glare; It's time to play, "Humans can't run after me in snow" game. You know this is absolute perfect capture, right? I would crop the houses out, like Oscilis above suggested. Then I would put Yukon on my next batch of Christmas cards. A poster even! This is truly "cool", dude!

In my opinion, for what it's worth, the background has very little distraction to the hero of the shoot...one blue eye, one brown says it all...I LOve SNOW! The street scene adds a sense of place, rather than just a snow lovin' dog who could just very well have been taking time off from the dog sled team.

The face is adorable! It is a perfect portrait of happiness!

Super capture -- he certainly seems to be having fun.... Is Yukon a malemute?
