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!

Thanks guys. I also forgot to mention that this is one of svdl's great dynamic freebies for V4. The texture is mine. A bunch of nodes thrown together...I don't really know what they all do :).

Great character, a real shame that you lost her. Very good image, good lighting and pose.

Very John Hughes/Brat Pack. Maybe it's the hair. Being a huge Breakfast Club fan this isn't a problem for me. Sure, the lighting's good, but the depth of field is the best part. You're getting pretty good at that. Subtle to the point that you don't even notice it. My only gripe is the background. The gradient split by the figure is a great idea, I'm just not sure of the colour choices. I know they're supposed to reflect the palette used on the figure, but the "brown" could do with toning down slightly. Also the text is blurry to the point of distraction. Still, I like. It reminds me of the days when teen movies weren't all about t&a.

She is lovely !! I love the postwork. You know, I created a character did one render of it, and lost the main poser files too in an external hard drive crash. Very sad to lose something like that. Sorry to hear it. This is great painting though. Love the colors !!

Sad you lost this one, very nice work indeed.

Thank you all for your comments (and hugs). BtB, I can always count on you for your honesty, and of course your unique brand of humour. This wasn't intentionally 80's, but sometimes our subconsious gets the better of us :). Anyone who says they don't like Breakfast Club is lying through their teeth! The two points of improvement you mentioned were exactly where I thought the image was lacking. The brown is too dark, and the text too blurry. Unfortunately I did the unthinkable before saving this. I flattened it!
