BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

Very nice work. People who can hand-draw stuff like this are really impressive. =) I love the fire in the background.

Mann, I can't draw with a mouse. I have to use tablet for everything. This is really good. Makes me want to go to the beach for some reason. I like it.

Impressive! I can't even imagine all the hard work behind this image, but I know at times I can't even point to the right link with the mouse. Great work!

This is a great pic Shadow, but your commentary begs one question...If you have a tablet, why are you using a mouse? LOL!
SergeantJack
Excellent. Very wry expression. She kind of reminds me of Janis Joplin.

Shadow my friend, You go from good to gooder to goodest faster than most can run if chased by a cougar. The soft sublime appearance of the entire render is what makes it stand out from all others. I think much can be said for the skills required to render a human portrait using a mouse for the face, features and clothing, and a tablet for the hair - here you have commenced with nothing but a vision of the mind, and transferred it to two software programs with a skill and precision not too often seen. The rainbow/cloud reflection in her sunglasses is so well done, as is her tiny star earring. I am so thrilled with this posting, it is as pleasant as it gets!
SteelWolf
This is great Shadow, I can't believe you can do that with a mouse! Like the feeling too, the rainbow vs fiery doom.. very cool.
dragonmagic59

This is a very cool scene, color tones nicely used. her hair looks great, and her wings really give her that hidden "dangerous" personalty ;).

Mouse drawn? I've tried drawing with my mouse, but he eats my cursor. And I can't make him burp. This is wonderful ShadowWind. Very good image. You are so talented.
