I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSรโฐ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Stunning image! Stunning composition with this Vue lighting I do love so (and almost never can achieve myself lol) I'd love to see the pillar as a freebie... ;-)

Brilliant fantasy artwork. Great pose & I love the contrast of light & shadow on her face.

Nice job! I would love the pillar as a freebie. Is the sky from Vue, or an alphaplane?

Very cool work on the light pillar. if I knew poser could handle lights as well as VUE I'd want to pick it up in a second (I still do actually...). While I agree with you on the topic of Aery Soul products in general, and while I like the overall sleek-techno look of the new Xenon set... I don't know, I was never into angel stuff, and this set just doesn't do it for me like others have. In any event you've made it look pretty good regardless. Excellent work.

Lots of great elements coming together for this portrait; great lighting, beautiful clouds, I like the way you've stacked the Dystopia blocks. It's all very majestic and meloncholy. If I was the nit-picking art director what would I add? I guess the first thing I looked at was the blue wing-tips and thought maybe they could use a small glow as well. my 2ยข. A pleasure seeing your stuff, as always.

Cool Atmosphere and POV... fine Creation! YES; do the Freebie... It looks grrrreat.

The combination of color matching between scene and sky, along with the placement of the camera and composition of objects all work together to make this a fantastic picture!

fantastic scene with excellent pose, pov and lightning

IMVHO, the blue lights are too strong, they're too distracting (they become a focal point, which takes our eyes away from the fabulous character). I think they should be dimmer and with a soft glow. But anyway the image looks great, very well done.
