Thank you for stopping by and for viewing my work. I am a mother of three wonderful stepchildren, a wife to a loving and supportive husband, and I also work full time. I have no formal training in art, but from a young age wanted to be an artist. The problem was I wasn't any good at drawing or painting. I couldn’t translate from my brain to the paper/canvas what I saw.  I did have other talents, singing is a passion of mine, I sing in the shower and car every day. (grins) I also dabble with stain glasswork, scrapbook, stamping, embroidery, needlepoint and the list goes on.
December 2006 I found Daz Studios and for the first time was able to at least get some of the images I saw in my head out. But it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Nothing good ever is. I started posting images on Renderosity and met some wonderful people who invited me to join a group of people who all used Daz Studios and so my learning increased. We now have a wonderful forum called Daz Artist Guild dedicated to helping people who want to improve their skills using Daz Studios.ÂÂ
Our motto: Dream~Creativity~Render~Reality
So if you get the chance please stop by and say hello! Until then, as a friends says...

Render on!!

Beautiful!

DLG.. Very nice. Like everything about it. Just wish the grass looked like grass in the playset, instead of a textured surface. Maybe someday they'll fix that.

fantastic scene and very beautiful character!!

DLG - Very nice. I love her dress and her "come walk with me" expression. I agree about the grass but don't have the woodland playset, so I don't know if there's a way to improve it.

DLG-wow, that is some texture on that dress! Satin never looked more...satiny,lol! Were it mine, I think I would play with the lights, softening the shadows and adding bias maybe to see if I could make those tree shadows look more natural. Because they are just fake stumps they don't cast very realistic shadows. I sometimes just turn casting shadows off for them.

Dlg, great work with your character, The playset to look's of but with sum light work like placing them just rite and dimming some to give just enough shadow play. anyway great work....
Pankaj
Lovely Image and charater!!!! I just wonder about these cris cross shadows? Well, it's proberly a planat with two suns or so? Never mind!
MKruczek
DLG... Nice work, but you need to make sure you turn off "recieve shadows" on the background.

Lovley render and sweet outfit!

DLG, I have really blown it the last 2 weeks about not knowing that the links for new images are on the website. I feel so stupid and very sad that I have not been supporting correctly. I am so sorry! Your character and background really blends so well together. I do think maybe a little softer lighting and toning the face expression would make it more elegant due to whats she's wearing. Just a thought!...Shannon ;}

DLG Very nice composition. I have the same woodlands playset as well... for the most part I've turned off the stumpy trees. The real treat with the set is the oh-so-very green back drop.

DLG - Nice work I would have to agree with above comments I think they covered it all

dlg~~ love that dress! really great pose!
Niha
DLG This is a beautiful image! Just a little more work with lighting and it will be wonderful! I love the dress and her expression! Well done!

DLG- - -> Lovely! Job well done. Shadows on the background eh? The cyclorama sets can be a pain for that.
callad
DLG :) I like the story and scene! But the shadows from the trunks give the illusion away :)
MKeyes
DLG... Well done, would have been nice to see some extra items thrown in to make the grass more realistic, and a few test renders to check the shadows and how they're showing the trees to be cut off at the top... as was mentioned, that steals the illusion. Yet, all else is wonderful.
GARNETROSE
DLG:0]) wonderful work. when you have a play set best to aim the lighting with the shadow on up and behind the back ground so the shadow falls forward and not on to the back, If you know what i mean. just a thought ;0])

I agree about the shadows, 'nuff said about that, everything else is gorgeous with a capital G ^_^
thotto
DLG, everything has been said about the grass, I like the scene, the pose, the dress, but I find the face a bit "vampiric". Shouldn't she be smiling a bit more openly ?
mhossack
DLG I'm with the others on the shadows. That aside it's an excellent render!
robin123
DLG Yip shadows but very nice work
KyotoDragon
DLG The grass really is not that bad here though the shadows really are in the wrong spot. Still a very pretty image!
DreamRage
DLG--> all have been said already to improve this, it is a great idea and a wonderful dress...you know what can be done better, looking forward to your next...render on !
