Hi, everyone! Thanks for dropping by at Gene's Place.
BIO
I'm a 59-year-old novice artist who only somewhat recently discovered Bryce. I live in USA's Pacific Northest (Spokane, WA). I don't have a life, but I *DO* have Bryce, DAZ Studio and a Renderosity Gallery...;^D
Discovering "consumer" 3D applications at a time when they're rapidly becoming both more powerful and more affordable has been a Godsend for me. My finger/manual dexterity is abysmal, making attempts at "traditional" art laughable. On a shoestring budget I cobbled together a Power Mac G4 system with just enough power to run Bryce 5.5 and DAZ Studio at slightly-faster-than-molasses speed. At the start of June '06 I bought Bryce 5.5 Jumpstart and installed DAZ Studio. I've been experimenting with Bryce extensively on a daily basis since then, and I'm learning a little about DS as I go.
Update May '08: I no longer consider myself a novice at 3D art, but I still have a lot to learn. I can't say I really *understand* the software (a lot of 3D art terminology still goes over my head - LOL!) but I'm comfortable enough with Bryce and DS to feel OK calling myself an artist. I've acquired a few other apps (most notably Carrara and MojoWorld) and promised myself that I'll at least learn the basics of one of them this year. I now work with a much more adequate system, a Digital Audio Power Mac G4 with dual 1.6 GHz CPUs and 1.5 GB RAM. I dream of a Quad Xeon Mac Pro, but what I have now should suffice until I hit the lottery...;^O

Wow, I am honoured to be the first one here! This is fantastic, this is loveable and sweet. I love it. I've been using the trolls alot lately but only as bad guys who get the crud beat out of them by a girl and I am always glad to see them as good guys because they are actually so ugly-cute that they deserve to have friends and be cuddled, if you know what I am saying. WOnderful lighting, wonderful compo. You've got a true illustration here. :)

This is a really cute image. But I confess that I have trouble clearly seeing the troll because of the shadows. It took me a few seconds to see that the troll was holding the child's teddy bear. But its still a terrific image. +5

Brilliant idea and cool execution. My only wish is I could see the little girls face (a little) better and that the troll's texture wasn't so dark. I like it, nevertheless. Good job!

Have you ever been mistaken for Steven Spielberg,this is the type of scenario the Master would think of with this Beastie. Bravo

Excellent concept piece and you really carried it off well. The posing of both the troll and the little girl is just spot on... great body language. When enemies become friends....even your worst enemies probably have a heart and someone that loves them... why not you?
