BIO
My screen name is bonbonish. My daughter, when she was a little girl, used to use bonbon as her screen name. I asked her permission to use her screen name with a little switch -- bonbonish. Because I am not as beautiful as she is... just bonbonish. I always liked to draw, paint and to sculpture. During the elementary school I had wonderful teachers in my 'art' classes, and I also had many extracurricular activities related to art. I liked very much the technical part of creating artwork... works with soft materials, hard materials, different paints and different pencils. At high school and after high school I took part in a lot of art workshops, where I had the opportunity to learn from great artists. I used to draw -- with carbons, crayons. I used to make soft sculptures -- from different kinds of materials and techniques. Some of the techniques I learned, some of them I developed myself. From the very moment I learned to write I was writing. Short stories, long stories, novells poems and scientific materials. Recently besides creating digital artworks -- I write children's stories and short scientific articles. "The Wild Virtual Enchanted Garden" is my recent children's story and I am selling it here at the RMP. I never looked art as if my major profession... Till my son has been diagnosed with cancer. In my professional life [Ph.D. in economics] I used to lecture... mostly about materials that I developed. While my son got all those nasty treatments and underwent numerous operations I had to stay next to him. I could not continue with lecturing. Several of my friends come to my rescue. They suggested that me to develop slides that contained my material and they will present those slides instead of me. I started to develop those slides... and I wanted them not just to contain nice written materials I wanted them to be pretty also ... I was looking for computerized graphic programs that could help me out... 3D graphics I started out with different kinds of free 3D programs, but I didn't stay with them... because lack of community support. I need people around me while I am creating something. Finally I found Poser 3 and later I upgraded to Poser 4 and till that day I stay with it. So, I guess I started out about 6 years ago creating 3D graphics... I found fascinating Poser ability to behave' as an acting stage -- where I can set up a whole sceen and tell a story with my image. And even I can animate that scene if I want to... 2D graphics I started out with Flash 4 ... As I already told, I was looking for a program that allows me to do pretty presentation slides. Flash was suitable for that. What's more, flash has lot of ability to manipulate pictures and vector drawings. I read a lot of tutorials from the Internet, and I learned how to use Flash pretty well. I used to buy royalty free images and incorporate them into my slides. Then I wanted to manipulate my bought images a little more -- and I found Photoshop 5 and Painter 5. Eventually I wanted to make my own images...and for that finally I found Poser. I like very much movies. And I like to read materials about those movies -- about the life of the actors, directors, about how the movie was developed, marketed and so on. I like to walk. I like to go the gym ... and I like to have a lot of conversations with friends and family.

The original image is made by romanceworks. I re-worked it with photoshop brushes, made from 'The Beauty and the Texture_3' textures. I also would like to wish a safe and happy holiday season!

Vegetable reincarnation is perhaps Druid in inspiration if the Druids had migrated to India. Here in America we are in awe of roots so it is one of them. The story then is little and fascinating.

Didn't you post something very similar awhile back? ...seems to me this looks very familiar...regardless, I love it !!!!!
BonBonish
NekhbetSun, you are right :). I have posted already one of the versions of Carol's image. This is the same basic image, and I made a different texturing for it.

How very lovely

Thank you for your comments :). Thank you cornelp, also for your question about my texturing technique. I am using Photoshop in order to 'texture' images. I am using my digital textures [you can see them at the Renderosity marketplace]. I use the 'pattern stamp tool' of Photoshop with one of my digital textures in order to add texture to the image. First I select the 'pattern stamp tool' , than I select the brush shape and I start to add 'strokes' to the images. In order to take out 'textures' I use the eraser tool with the same shape of brush that I used to add texture.

One of my virtual friends pointed to me to the following qoute: 'Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it' - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!
