Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

Well this is certainly more than I can pull off. Quite an impressive undertaking. Scurge seems like a very interesting character.
Silkylady
Well, he's a real mover, Dave. I thought after'''15 months''' hohoho, you would never finish the poor little guy. All the new words I learned from the commputer room, were very educational. Mother soaps up mouths for less than that. I love this pic though. I think Chira will also love her new pet. Good job, after all that sweat,sweety. Huggs and love ya...Silkylady...

Well, how do you do, Scurge! I am impressed! You made a poser! Sheesh...I can't even make one when they give me the figure! He is really a cutie, too!

David!! I was wondering what happened to you, but after reading you sought out your PhD in Poserology, I now completely understand as to why! Scurge is so cool and very well done, and although I know about modeling, I don't do organics or characters due to the complexity involved. You did a great job in creating him and grouping and boning it must have been lot of good fun! LOL! I'm glad to hear you acquired a parter to help you along with your mighty adventure! Yes another daunting labor of love, and I can't wait to see where it goes next! Glad to see you back after all this time, David, and a big two thumbs up for your efforts...I'm really envious and very impressed! Excellent work, my friend!!! P.S. I'm still working on my pack! Honest! LOL!!

Scurge looks very cute. I am assuming he is still just a baby (no fire blasting out, fangs, etc). This makes me a little nervous since something sinister could happpen to this little charmer. You would't do that to us - would you??? The creaton of Scurge has been almost as taxing as giving birth! You must be a very proud dragon dad. Great job - can't wait for the story to continue.

Well young fella persistence paid off in spades. You created one cute, colorful and adorable little character here a wonderful addition to the visual effects of future "Chira" episodes. By the way you ticked him into a very pleasant scene. My congratulations Dave truly well deserved. Kudos my man, as you often say. George http://www.renderbenders.com/

Just came here today and Awwwwwww..he's cute!!!! It's a good thing you named him,I would have given him a name like Spot, Blue Boy! LOL! WoW...he really is wonderful. I love the toothy grin, I can't decide if those eyes are filled with wonderment or mischieviouness. Thank you Dave you are such a great person! So far, I've loved every minute of it. Will be talking to you real soon! :) hugs... Michelle
