I dont think of myself as an artist - more a creatively minded laymen. Im blessed with perpetual inspiration, but cursed by a lack of talent.
I have always loved to sketch, and on the odd occasion even paint. Unfortunately for me, a real world canvas doesnt have an undo button. This is why, back in 1996, I first started toying with a Shareware version of Paint Shop Pro (found on the cover of a magazine). I knew almost instantly that digital art was for me.
Fast forward to 2006, when I discovered a highly under-rated (yet unfortunately limited) program called FaceGen. Within hours of tinkering with the software I was creating realistic characters well beyond anything I could have managed via traditional mediums. But what to do about bodies for my newly created digital brethren?
I took it upon myself to scour the internet in search of a 3D software package that was flexible enough to fulfil my specific needs, while still being NOOB friendly. Untimely I didnt want to spend months, or even years deciphering the ins and outs of 3D Studio Max for instance.
It wasnt long before I caught digital whisperings of a program called Poser, which lead me eFrontiers very own site.
In search of more examples of Poser art I found myself inevitably at Renderosity...and I havent looked back since.
The community here is certainly a mixed bunch (as are all communities, online especially), but in the great majority they have proven to be incredibly helpful, and wonderfully supportive.
If you plan on commenting on my images (and I certainely hope you do) while praise is always appreciated, critical analysis and constructive criticism is encouraged.
Happy rendering!

Thank you Corvas. I should also have mentioned there was no post-work done on this image. All raw render out of Poser 6. Testament to how great these Apollo textures are!

Test? Well, let me say I notice a color difference in the neck area. Just trying to be helpful for your test. Love the wrinkles in the forehead.

Thank you all. I really wish I could take credit for the lighting, but it's not mine. I used the Raytraced light set included in the Apollo pack. Thanks Anton! I hope Apollo will see a shift from mostly female images on this and other sites.

I so love this, talk about realism, regardless of how you came by it, its outstanding work! And yes, more male renders and art is sorely needed! I'm all for this! Hense, my Beefcake's Revenge Men Series - lol!

Superb. Like you, the Apollo figure has sparked a bit of creativity ... it's great fun.

That looks fantastic. I really like the velvety edges and I REALLY like the texture on the forehead, very expressive.
