Hi my name is Bill(started here as Primaltruck). I am an old hippy from the santa cruz mountains.I live with my wife and kids Alice and Chris..we also have 2 other kids Jason and leah, that are married and live elswhere..we live in the redwood forest with a spring and waterfall on our property and about 700 2nd growth redwoods..My artwork is definetly inspired by were i live and my family.My daughter(Alice) being a Tatoo artist and wife being my worst critic.she knows me and knows how to tell me when something doesnt look right without getting under my skin..Alice likes all art so she always says good things that help inspire me and i try to do the same for her..if you look at my rendorosity gallery you will see that i had a pretty rough start and took a year or so to get the hang of 3D art as i have always scetched and painted and created..But learning how to deal with something new is always an adventure..and its been a lot of fun and i have made alot of friends along the way.I mostly use Bryce and Poser and Photoshop on a Dell PC..and plan on getting Vue in the near future..and...I couldnt talk about art with out mentioning Dudley Wade(Prog)Who was one of my first friends here and a heck of a great teacher and i think i learned more from his advise and studying his art than anything else....I dont think i have a style,except that my style is in doing something different when i can think of it!and the longer i post art in these galleries the more i realize that its not really about the art but about the friendships made....getting better with our art is just icing on the cake..I have also been a musician all my life and have played guitar for 30 some odd years..Loving everything from Mel Torme to Jimi Hendrix to all the great new music i hear..some Favorites..Frank Zappa,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Beatles,Pink Floyd,Yes,Scott Henderson,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Steve Morse,Nuno Bentencourt,Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Frank Gambale,Al Dimeola,Les Paul,Chet Atkins,Speedy wes,Jimmy Brynt,Barney Kestle,Charlie Byrd,and many more..i have been posting at renderosity mostly and at Dreamslayerart,Tapestry of dreams,Innertraveler,artzone,renderotica and 3DCommune..not all at the same time...lol...I am very easy to get along with and treasure the friendships made here..I am not afraid to speak up for what i believe in ,am strictly non violent,love nature,and always looking for fun and a reason to celebrate life...so dont be afraid to say hello or ask for help..I dont bite that hard...Love and Peace and Respect.

Personally, i think studio sucks, I set everything up in poser. Beautiful lighting job!!
msebonyluv
She is beautiful and the lighting is gorgeous!! Awesome work!! As for D/S, it doesn't take well to some poses and I haven't seen the grasping pose unless you select the hand and its in the properties already. I'll have to check that out!!

Beautifully simple and dramatic..I really like it without a sword and the lighting is fantastic. Really a very powerful and uplifting image.

Daz studio gets better everyday and is free and with curious labs not making their program work for daz characters in some aplications like the face room ect..ect...and daz making a superior character and studio being free and always being developed by the people that use it..i dont think it sucks..

Beautiful scene. I've started using Studio again and I'm liking it more and more. Just need to take time to figure it out. :)

Since I got a better puter, Ive used D/S almost exclusively (as one can prolly tell by my gallery lol) and I have run into the same problem that you did about the hands - what I did was find some hand poses for other things that matched what I was after and tweaked them with the dials til it fit the sword handle - but this is truly stunning even without the sword with the light shining down on her through the mist and the water effect S Superb!

You have such a lovely knack with hair Bill and this is really beautiful work. Love the lighting and that misty feel. This really is exemplary Sir. Sincere apologies for my lack of comments and being late, it really is unintentional. It's just that we have builders in at the moment and it's a bit hectic here and Rosity is impossible, at times. Steve :o) V!

Excellent image. Love the mood a lot. Daz studio and me LOL I am still not figured out how it works. I am sure it is a fantastic programm And freeeeee, but for some reason i have not the patience yet for figured out how it works. LOL

Bill, this is a beauty as usual, my friend! The lighting is so dramatic! To make the grasp hand, there are many freebies out there to download and also many weapons that you buy come with the grasp hand options. You should have a HANDS folder and you may find it there.

Beautiful character.Great lighting very dramatic...
Shardz
Very dramatic scene and the atmosphere is just perfect for her in this time of solace. I have a feeling Renderosity's servers are thinking the same thing right now! Laffs I've never used D|S, so I can't offer any advice there, but I'll be more than happy to call a boat for her in case the divine revelation thing doesn't pan out! LOL! Excellent work, Bill!
DennisReed
