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.

F....Bill. I dont know what they think here. But i know something for sure. Here are a lot of member who just walk through the galleries just for to Report it. I am really tired of this shit here. I am sure a lot of members here and the moderators are dont know what art even is. They think to put Aiko in some nice outfit whith wingsis enough. But Art is something special. I have seen at DAZ a disskusson about Nudity in Art. And a lot of people said there nudity is just ugly and not really Art.LOL Sh.... If they would take a look to the images from all the famos old masters, they would see a big diffrent. Did you have the nudity flag on? Your Elefants are nacked.

I don't know, Bill, these elephants look awfully naked and really young to me. Geeze. Most really talented artists that have any spunk get discouraged and/or put down from time to time. I hope you'll find a way to let the experience make you even better ... so don't lose faith or inspiration. CC

Fantastic Bill !!! What else is new ... Well, keep up the fantastic work and fascinating art ... !

It is curious that Renderosity makes money selling sexy little outfits for Aiko and then penalizes artists for using them. Aiko is Japanesse, and, I think most people agree that in general, Japanesse women have younger looking faces. So is Renderosity discriminating against Japanesse women? Only Vicky can be shown in sexy outfits and situations? Hummmm...

Load of crap!

Wow excellent choice of animals, so sorry that your image was censored Bill!!! I hope you regain your inspiration, cause it is definitely wonderful seeing your artwork :) Sorry I did not see your last artwork :( Those Repu... I mean elephants look nasty and the effects are wonderful!!! Keep your cool Bill and keep pumping that excellent artwork of yours. Here at Rosity, they should remove that report button, I believe a lot of people are getting their kicks watching people's artwork get removed. I definitely agree with you, it is a load of crap ^^ Hugsss Frankie ^^
brycek
Your artwork is fantastic Bill..keep your chin up high and I agree about the load of C!!

Bill, I don't understand if it was an Aiko image how any nudity is a TOS. This was discussed on Thu, Sep 21, 2006 8:59 am in the Vendor Support forum and Debbie said Aiko is an anime figure, not a child in answer to the question, "isn't Aiko a child". I think I missed seeing that image so I don't know what may or may not have been wrong. Ahhh well, I'm always confused. :)
Surama
Fantastic image again!
Petra-S
Wonderful creation!
Syltermermaid
I can only agree with Frankie, about people who get her kicks if other peoples images get removed!!! It is a shame, but I thought already when I saw your image, that she had not enough polygones!!! I have also to be careful have also already one report on my board for saying what I thought about someone who reported someone! So better I keep my mouth shut!!! Sorry for what was happen, but think about this wonderful image you had at the first place in the "Hall of fame" here and may be that inspires you again!!!! You do so wonderful art!!!! I love even your angry elefants!!!!LOL Hugs Ute

This is a fantastic way to show your feelings about the censorship around here...and I agree with you completely....this is the place that says you have to diaper a baby even in the arms of its Mother....puhleez!!!

You know how I feel Bill . I was just talking to someone about this same thing yesterrday . I will IM you when I get a chance ;)
mlevans
Ohhhhhh....Republicans....imagine that (with sincere apologies to all my Reublican friends who truly are good people). I believe I saw the image in question; it was hardly what anyone could legitimately call "perverse".

Renderosity Is Not The Place It Once Was...
Forevernyt
I think it's time Rosity did an overhaul of it's decision making board. What fools.

That narc button was never a good idea in the first place - puts the power in the hands of too much subjectiveness rolls eyes and shakes ones head People read too dang much of their own psychosis into things and then bam you get in trouble. HUGE HUGS sry that happened to you my friend - I loved that pic and this one too - you always render elephants so well and this one is no exception :)

Mum I think I understand...something happen to me too couple years ago (here) and I still have in my mind! But I think maybe some mod are jealous of your MASTER WORK ;-) KEEP YOU STRONG MY MASTER :) REGARDS MAGIK

Simply - I love it and it goes right to my favorites!!! Elephants are my very dear animal (I have no idea why?!)! Superb!!!
kfox
Ah, Bill, that image seemed to be a gauntlet thrown from the edge of the sword you were walking on to me! Or perhaps it was the commentary the nay sayers found perverted - the thought that anyone would enjoy something other than thy standard missionary sex? One question though - how the heck did those elephants get in that building? LOL!
DonaKuka
Oh no, not again!!! So sorry to ear that! I don't even know what to say!!! But in oposite of those fantastic elephants of yours that seem so angry while aprisionated into that building, please don't let anyone aprisionate your feelings and the way you expresse them in your art!!!
jwiest
Sure didn't look like it violated TOS to me. rolls eyes I think you've got a very valid complaint. That's just totally F'd up.
lwperkins
Feel for you--I had one pulled because she "looked young"--the mods saw a second render that I did from a slightly different angle and said that one would have been ok(?!) Mind, you, she had visible pubic hair. She was carrying a jar in the desert (that was covering her breasts), and wasn't even a sexy image IMO. Anyway, it's not like I'm bitter or anything;-)
mejed
I saw it, and it didn
t violate the TOS. As long as the powers that be are in powere and certain Mod
s are let in place, shell always get what she wants. I think Renderosity has begun it
s death thros as being the bigest and a best. It
s not "all about the artist" anymore.airbrushr
Im not sure I saw your render in question, but from what I've seen of your art, I'm sure it was totally OK by "OUR" standards. The trouble with Aiko, is you can render her...small tits, no no, make em big, its OK, hairless pubic area, too young, a curly bush, she's old enough. Rough decision. Anyway, keep up your spirits and keep em coming bud, love your work. Oh yea, great elephant scene.

NOT AGAIN! DAMMIT!! THIS IS GETTING REIDULUOUS!! THE MODS NEED TO GO TO REHAB!!!!! PUT DOWN THE BONG, BACK AWAY FROM THE CRACK. This is so unjust!!! I was wondering what happened to that image, I went to go look at it as I learn and get inspiration from artists such as yourself!! Bill, I hope you stay and I keep thilking there has to be a higher authority to meet with over this!!!! Who runs this joint??? How do we get meetings with them?? Those would be my questions. Someone needs to train those Mods as to what is and what is not allowed especially when these venders here sell these things and they themselves call them adult!!! You even said on that image that she was 22 if I recall correctly!! Perhaps meeting with the vendors might help!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I wonder when the term "Artistic Nudity" has become the equivilent of "Pornography" Sigh .. I wonder if Boris Vallejo was ever calle don the carpet for "Pornographic art"... I think not! :) For what it's worth Bill, I enjoy your art. I think people should simply choose not to look at an image if they don't like it or moreso don't UNDERSTAND it :)
