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!

One of the most impressive and dramatic images around. Sincerely congratulate you for this.

You really feel the story behind her. Impressive work, and great morph!

Very very cool anti-supermodel. I hope you actually have a use for this character, she's as unique as any of your others. Really expressive little portrait as well.
ClawShrimp
Thank you! I haven't got a specific use for her yet, but I've grown quite fond of the morph :).

fine art at it's best
RAMWorks
Nice work there Claw. Glad my small comments helped you out a bit. She looks positively perfect and quite upset in this render. I'd like to see more of her, in another render with a bit more normal lighting so we all can really see your fine work!! :-)
zhaanman
This is stunning you can feel her pain it literally reaches out to you! Such an amazing render love the look very realistic style used!
Acadia
She turned out great! I know in your WIP thread that initially I thought she had a very "Down's Syndrome" appearance about her, but it seems that you managed to work through that. Very nice work :)
zollster
this is absolutely excelllent! she has an androgynous look which i like :)
ClawShrimp
Thank you all. Wolff - I plan on doing a full body shot to show off the rest of the morph, but normal light? I'll have to figure out what that is first :). Acadia - Her earlier iterations certainly had shades of Downs. Thankfully that's been ironed out. Zollster - You're only the second person that's mentioned her androgynousness, the first being my Mother in law. Good eye.

I'm really impressed with this. You managed to get far from the typical v4 look. I like it alot.

Cute Indeed! Good job. DPH

A truly great and expressive face, far away from the standard. Brilliantly done. I'm not sure if it only the light, but there is a small flat area over her left eye which looks a bit flat, it looks strange to me. Brilliant otherwhise.
ClawShrimp
I'm not really sure what you mean Bantha. If it's her left (our right), there is a point in the brow muscle that extrudes moreso because of the expression. Her inner left brow is slightly up and in. I don't personally see this as a mistake, just how the muscles interact. If this isn't what you're talking about...I have no idea! :)

Your characters have life. They are real and unique. They are persons, not just "characters".

OMG, how could I have ever missed this image. Fantastic!!!! Amazingly depicted emotion!
