Description

"This Sacred Place" By David J. Reid aka "Shardz" Software used: Poser 6, Vue 5 Infinite, Photoshop CS *~* Dedicated to Romanceworks! *~* Quite a few turn of events have transpired on this site, and in real life, since I last posted to the galleries back in May. It took me awhile to collect my thoughts and follow my heart to enrich me with the ability to passionately create images that I enjoyed sharing with you all. On June 17, 2006, this community suffered a tremendous loss in our friend and fellow artist, L.J. Heart of Romanceworks. This event truly gripped me with sorrow and a sense of bewilderment, and somehow eluded me with illogic in Godï¿½s mysterious master plan. Carol and L.J. have inspired me incredibly since I joined this community, and their trademark of intensely passionate images and love of nature are the best to be seen here or anywhere else. Carol has left comments on my images that I can never forget, and have honestly taken to heart. That is what this dedication to Carol and L.J. is all about; heart and soul, and the relentless pursuit of the human condition we know as love and devotion. Carol, we all feel your loss here, and we also still feel the strength of L.J. in this community in the work you present to us so perfectly. I canï¿½t start any artistic project without taking into consideration why I am doing this in this first place, and to try my best to convey feeling and meaning in what I create. You and L.J. know the answer, and have enlightened so many here with that special spirit, and the spirit will forever live within us all. Your beautiful artwork and heart and soul will forever guide us, and future generations, in this sacred place, Carol. Please know your special gifts illuminate the paths of so many here! *Hugs* *~* Image Notes *~* This scene took me awhile to create as I modeled the candle holders and lamps in Hexagon months ago and changed everything around about 4 times. Iï¿½m designing a pack with these lamps along with other dÃ©cor called ï¿½Elven Eleganceï¿½ and hope to have that out before 2008. My status is generally that of a lurker, but I do visit when I get the chance. I really wanted to leave comments off, but I have been asked not to by a few close friends. It seems selfish to me, but perhaps leave a sentiment for Carol in lieu of me. Bless you all, and Iï¿½ll be back soon.

Glad to see you here again. Seems that you still remember how to render and do a Poser image. Fantastic candle holders you've done with Hexagon. I have yet to figure how it works! 8-) Excellent composition and lighting. Beautiful character. Great pose and expression. I see you haven't learnt yet how to leave them naked. 8-) I hope we will see more from you from now on.

Dave, your work always has such a crisp sense of lighting and colour which leaves me saying "wow" and "how long did it take him to render THAT?!" Your models are fantastic too, and are inspiring me to throw myself more deeply into my Silo and Lightwave. A stunning image. It's so nice to see your art again. :)

Welcome back David! This goes to my Fave list immediately. Besides being an image par excellence, I'm staggered by the detail work. Especially that structure behind her. That's incredible. The picture has a lot of emotional depth to it too. I wish I could be greeted this way someday..lol. Obvious talent and major effort was applied here and well worth the wait. I sure hope your world is back in balance and your able to spend more time in this domain. We miss you bunches. Have a great one and be sure to let me know when those Shard-Scapes will be ready for sale. Best to you Buddy! And an ultra big double thumbs up on this Masterpiece. Dave :^)
