Hi and welcome to my little place here. Don't wonder about the name, almost everything I do is linked to my feathered housemates - source of everlasting inspiration ;-)
On the image to the left you see me with Perlchen and Rico, two of my cockatiels.
Rico is the chick on my right hand.
My real name is Kim and I love everything that is able to fly and has got vertebrae - meaning birds, etc, but especially dragons.
Short Bio
It went the way it mostly goes with people who cannot put the pen/ pencil/ crayon away.
So, at the age of 4 or so I was introduced to a set of the latter and drew camels. From there I went to pencils and horses and dragons.
Later came dolphins and orcas and some more dragons.
I still do a lot of drawing dragons - and some horses or dolphins - as long as I can spare the time.
But a few years ago I got my Wacom tablet and that developed into the exploration of the pixel world.
First I made little graphics for my homepages, now I make big graphics for strange pictures which tend to be overloaded with iconographic double denotations ;-)
ThenI entered the world of a freelance illustrator (in small scale) and do floormaps, illustrations and so on.
I learned to hate ships and especially galeons from my very first publication though I like being around ships and water in general.
Apart from the occasional commission here and there I still do a lot of drawing for myself as far as my shrinking spare time permits.
Making textures for Poser included - I prefer to work with handdrawn designs to alter with my laptop later.
What else?
I like roleplaying, wrote two systems of my own and hate dia slides ;-)
If you're interested: I'm available for commissions as well.
2D (traditional), 3D (Poser) is no problem.
Visit my gallery here if you're interested and want to see what I do - contact me if you want to know more. Preferably by mail since I don't check IMs that often :-)
For all Poser-related stuff best visit my homepage and my forum if you have any questions about my products.

The lighting is very nice indeed. Nice to see you around :)

That's stunning. When you go to Egypt, Luxor, to the Medinet Habu and see all of the colors on the parts of the temple that remain protected from the sunlight, you realize that you are spot on with this colorful image. Those places were alive with color.

@all: thank you for your comments so far! @pixeltek: I have been to Egypt when I was a child and have seen a few sites. I guess they're sort of engraved into my memory. Some of them might have been the source for this image :-) And I do miss the sunlight, heat and sand there!

This looks so majestic in scale! The HDRI really did the trick for setting up a wonderful atmosphere! This reminds me of a Vue render! Excellent work!

Ah, see .. I could sit before this image for ages .. or, at least, until my coffee runs dry. Hey, it's a pretty big mug! This work is a portal. As a child, even later, I would hang images like this in my room. Sitting or lying down I would literally go sailing into these scenes and travel through time and space. I would have so adored this as a child. In case you can't tell .. I adore it quite a bit now! ;-) Terry
