From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

Wow! What a complex scene and with so much going on. Terrific job. Imagine walking into a general store today with a cigar in your mouth and a side arm.

wow this looks super. I read a story one time of some indians came into the store to kill the owner. They walked in and saw him reading a Bible so they looked around and traded some things with him and left. Later one of the idians told the owner of the store the story and the owner ask why they did not kill him? The indian told him they kewn the Book he was reading tells all of what they was doing and so the owner was reading of they olan to kill him. This is one reason the indian became a Christian.

Nicely composed scene with great figure placement and posing. I am a real fan of the old west. We had a similar era here in Australia - you may have seen the old Peter Graves TV show Whiplash in the 1960s? Perhaps most of the lighting for the scene should have been coming in through the opened door? I don't know if you have Bryce 6 but an IBL render with side and back walls for the building and roof to block the light apart from the door and maybe one window really would do huge things for the atmosphere of the render, but would increase render time very substantially as well... The out of shot walls and roof could be a dark plain matt surface as they are not being shown.

I like the boarder, and the variety of posers in your picture. I couldn't help but notice you have two chairs that are Identical but are different colors... Scale needs to be adjusted. enjoyed.

dennis this is great, excellent. Stunning and so lovely details.And all the poses. Here matches everything. Fantastic work.
mapps
Fantastic work :-) Nice to see someone enjoying the old west as much as us :-) mikeerson the different textures on the chairs are due to the fact we try to incude a new and old texture for every item so renders can be "current west" or "old ghost town look"
