Je länger man malt, desto mehr ist man Lehrling The longer you paint the more you are an apprentice.

Brief introduction: SaintFox is
-a woman born 1962 at the north sea coast of Germany.
-moved to the german midwest in 1996
-to a small town that offers a lot of medieval inspiration
-has at least two souls
...and about the nick: It's a mixture of my haircolor and a tattooed fox cub that I wear and that looks so saintly as a vegetarian. As long as I can think I enjoyed being creative - and I always loved learning something new! As I had my first look here I so much wanted to do images like the ones I saw in the gallery.But it took me several years to be brave enough to post my first image here. After all I do not understand anymore what made me hesitate so long... I'm a professional artist/illustrator, not at least because of the permanent encouragement of the "Captain of my heart", he's my muse, my secretary, my "wonderwall" against those things that are able to disturb creative processes so easily. Most of my work is published by a german gallery in Gelsenkirchen and available at my own homepage, too. In late 2005 I wask asked for my first collaborated works and so I finally found a second profession in doing my own characters and textures what enables me to give my images even more personal style.
Whenever I start to work on something new - especially when working with characters - there is a moment when the bundle of polygons and pixels suddenly seems to look at me from the other side of the monitor, it's the moment when my creations get personality. This is, at least, what I like to "transport" with my products: artist tools that are able to inspire the people that work with them because they have a kind of "virtual soul".
A woman under influence
Major influences on my work come from other admired artists and music. Some of my favorites: Jan Vermeer van Delft James Jaques Tissot Rembrandt van Rijn Hajime Sorayama Olivia De Berardinis Marcus Gray Herb Ritts Helmut Newton Alberto Vargas Ricky Carralero Gerald Brom ...and, regarding the feelings that I have when doing my characters: Dr. Viktor Frankenstein! Music: Too much to count, alternative and classics preferred but sometimes it has to be soul or jazz, too. The second large influence are people I met here: They comment on my images and help me to enhance them, they share their knowledge and finally some of them decided to involve me in their projects. For me (as I grew up in the before-internet-age) it's still some kind of miracle that people are able to work together independent of where they live.
...and, before I forget, the strongest influence during the last years came from some lines I read about 15 years ago:
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.

Oh...lovely!!! Gorgeous coloring on this one... :D
RGUS
Very nice... the texture is perfect of course.. and the mathematics correct.. I will be very careful so as not to talk about Leos balls in this comment... it seems to have offended you and him.. so no more talk about balls... and the number of them.. has he seen a doctor.. hush Deane... now anyway.. the image... if it weren't for Leos big shiney ball there.. I think the image would lack impact.. just like his... I mean his modelling of course... the bigger the better I always say.. but then.. I may have said too much... anyway.. Meike.. this is fabulous.. in your devine purist style and Leo.. mate.. great balls!.. (Was that safe enough???)

PsychoNaut

Great piece of artwork... good use of the colors
Fredy
Brilliant! I like the story and the small "1" is just the perfect touch! Bravo!
Rainbowgirl
12 is a magical number. Obvious in numerous religious contexts as the 12 apostles for instance. I don't think it's madness to love this number. Certainly it isn't madness to love this image! I do, I love it!
mauk
Excellent!!!!Another great image....bravo
HADCANCER
Onr of your best to date Just love the outfit, although it would be a pain on the *** to lace. I am not sure about the comment you meade that we would think you were crazy. I do not know if I should feel insulted or complemenhted. I get so confused. I think everyone would agree you are crazy or you would not be here....or is it I am crazy for being here... again I get so confused and it is your fault by your constant challenging of my though process

Die gelbe 1 ist klasse :) Nettes Detail was sofort ins Auge springt. Und Marret hat ein neues Tattoo bekommen ;) Tolle Arbeit Meike - geflt mir sehr gut! Vg Uli
lwperkins
This is such a fun series--it's nice to see the older characters used so well--and I hadn't seen Marret before! I think her bird tattoos are darling, and purple suits her!
awadissk
This is an excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is getting difficult to choose which of all this I like best: your renders or your narratives. I think it is a draw. I see the render and then do the "read." Both are compelling and so very enjoyable. It is such a joy to receive an e-mail announcing that my favorite artist has posted a new image. Many smiles 8-)
jwiest
I think she's gorgeous and it's a wonderful dedication! Never gave much thought to a favorite number, but surely 12 is a good one to pick. :)

another sweet piece of the pool ball series, so where do you get your balls, ha ha- pool balls, what where you thinking.

12 has suddenly become my favorite pool ball, too! Congrats on realizing a really beautiful lady in purple. I'd be happy to play a round with her.

Excellent work - awesome series!!!

Dear Meike, Very wild and wicked outfit!! Might take a while to lace up!!!! Love the colors - so bright!!! Great pose and expression, too!!! One other kind of fun thing with 12 is that 12 = 3 X 4 (1,2,3,4 in order in the equation!!) 56 = 7 X 8 also does that (5, 6, 7, 8 in order!!) Love ya!!! Meredith
cole4965
Wow! Completely yummy!!!

Great character and render!!!Love her outfit!!!
tabala
Oh my! This is what I call purple X0D Even I don't like purple when it comes up to clothing or thingies in the normal life it is fantastic in 3d to use. I always thought that black brings it out in it's best, but You make me think this over :) Brilliand and high decorative render again ^^

FANTASTIC SERIES. SIMPLY AWESOME. WONDER if we'll see the CUE BALL
