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!

Yay! It's great to see you back. Your work is always a treat. A great image to get you going again. Love the style and grain. Not so keen on the highlight on the right side of her nose though. Otherwise, excellent! Cheers.

Great image, I really like the black&white postwork. It would be great on the cover of an industrial noise album.

Glad to hear that you're back - I've been wondering where you've been lately. This is quite a gritty image and leaving only the basic facial features - which is quite lovely. I love how you couldn't see her eyes ... and the hair falling over her eye is bringing out the darkness of her eyes. This is a really cool image, ClawShrimp! :) Tina

Cool looking character, I look forward to seeing more of her. I've taken breaks like that myself, it usually helps to recharge the creative batteries doesn't it?
