My name is Andreas. I am a 40-year old (as of September 2007) German and live near Frankfurt/Main.
I do a lot of Poser images, but not many of them find their way into my gallery, as I do a lot of them just to amuse myself or create images of characters in roleplaying games I run. Those may serve me well as illustrations for my games, but I don't consider most of them a worthy addition to my Renderosity gallery. That's why there are not too many renders in my gallery, even if I joined this community years ago.
Recently (as of autumn 2007) I have re-discovered an interest in photography. I toyed around with a (non-digital) SLR over a decade ago, but now that I am slowly getting the hang of my digicam I feel that photography may be a medium I could explore some more. But how that will turn out remains to be seen. :-)
And if you wonder why I have no favorite images on this page, the reason is simple:
I feel that - without spending 48 hours a day here - I can only manage to see a fraction of all the great images posted at Renderosity. To add something as a favorite simply because it was there when I was checking out a certain gallery seems (to me) unfair to all the other great artists I may have missed only because I don't have the time to peruse all galleries. I know what I like - and I know who does art like that - but I don't want to favor them over people who may be just as good, whom I may just have missed because there are so many image to see here.
A word of warning about postwork in my photographs: I don't always mention it, but it may still be there. I consider postwork to be something akin to editing the first draft of a written story. I doubt anyone would expect a writer to mention that he has edited his first draft when he publishes a story, and to me the photo my camera takes is very much the first draft of a story, so to speak. When I feel that the photo is not quite up to showing what I saw in a motive I will "edit" it a little to bring out the best parts and gloss over the not-so-good parts. That's what I do, and I stand by it - especially since there is no way to please everyone. :-)

Somehow the picture can be interpreted in two ways, as far as the animals (dogs, reptiles?) are concerned. You can see them as the guards of the woman (either defending her ,as the title suggests, or preventing her from leaving), but you can also interpret their poses as a retreat: the background one is almost safe, the foreground one doesn't threaten or attack you (in front of the woman), but is preparing to retreat (where she would be in its way). In the first case she feels safe, in the second she is trying to hide her anger caused by the cowardly behavior. Anyway, I like the picture. However: 1) I wonder if you could apply a wet map to the inside of the mouth. 2) The shoulder straps of the woman appear loose; they may have been eclipsed by the mesh of the body. 3) I think the arm pit has an unnatural fold. I'm unsure if that can be corrected.

@ Chris: Thanks for the comments. :) Detailed comments like yours are what I always hope for when I post images. :) Concerning your suggestions: 1) I'll keep that in mind for future images. Good idea. 2) With this outfit the straps are not so much straps, but "tendrils" reaching out from her breasts. As such I think there's nothing wrong with them not being skin-tight, as there is nothing keeping them close to her skin. 3) I could have cloned over the brightest parts and hide the "fold" in post, but decided against it to preserve the contrasts there. Might not have been my best decision ever, but I stand by it. :D As for your interpretation of the image, I think of it as a combination of both alternatives. These creatures are the woman's pets, and once someone comes into her presence they hiss and growl a lot, but wont attack unless commaded to. So they are both guarding and retreading (or holding back).

Upon close inspection it appears that she might have missed appproximately 1/4 inch of her nail on the end of the third finger with her nail polish. Perhaps you might correct that, LOL! Just kidding--Great pic!
