Hi! Thanks for stopping by my home in Renderosity.  My name is Tori Beveridge aka Tori B, although some of you may know me better as Cru of Cruzines and the former Creative Cafe. I am a fantasy and fairy artist who began using Poser 5 in May of 2005 and quickly became hooked. This really surprised me, as, to be honest, I was not a big fan of Poser/3D art, although I could appreciate it.   I now have a much larger appreciation, eye and love for it.  I still, however, prefer a more painted look in CG art and so I am learning to paint.Â
Tools of The Trade:  Poser 7 and Poser 5 for testing, PS Elements, PSP 8, Painter, my wacom tablet, and my cameras. I also work with other people's stock photos and enjoy doing photomanipulations.   I enjoy playing with morphs and digitally "sculpting" the Poser models. I dream of the day when I can afford ZBrush.
Life outside of art?
I am the proud mother of two wonderful young adults, stepmother to another, and wife of the most fascinating and fantastic man.  We have 7 cats.. yes, I am that crazy cat lady you made fun of as a child... and a chow/rott mix and an english bulldog. I enjoy reading, learning, walks with the dog, needlework, folk art, the ballet, dancing, playing computer games, rpg and writing fantasy stories, gardening, cooking and baking, watching movies, good wine, and too many other things to list here.
