Welcome to my Renderosity Gallery.
The years have passed and thankfully with them, I have seen my artwork progress towards what I believe is improvement. I thank each and every one of you that takes the time to peek in my gallery and leave me a comment because comments serve as motivation, inspiration and aide in my development as an artist.
I have been a pencil fiend for many a year. When I joined Renderosity, I was just beginning to dabble in digital art. I had done some design work for a 3d site previously using a little program called Spazz3d. When I discovered poser, I ran with the possibilities. Sadly, as with most things, I lost interest, stopped using the program and now am probably just as ignorant as a newbie when it comes to using it. I sometimes lament that I allowed myself to let it go, but..live and learn. I hope to post more digital work soon, time is an issue of course. For now, I welcome you to view my lead work as I post it.
Creativity does not have to stop at what you are good at. Explore every facet that interests you in the slightest and you may be pleasantly surprised at some hidden talent you did not know you possessed. I draw, paint, write, sculpt and do any number of other creative sidelines that catch my interest. I can't say I was a natural at everything I picked up, but with a little practice...just step out of your comfort zone and try. My work suffered for several years as I worked on my weak areas, solely concentrating on them. Gone was my nice polished portraits and in their place fantasy work that was ever disappointing and at the same point inspiring because with each I saw improvement. I hope to sample art for the rest of my life, savouring each different flavour that it may come in. After all...isn't that why we are members of Renderosity and countless other art sites? We are artists.
I do hope you enjoy my little gallery. I do sometimes do requests, so feel free to email me with a request! At the very least, leave a comment behind. Constructive comments are always welcome!

Well..from my recollection, around 12 I began drawing figures without much shading. I still have some of those drawings cringes I stopped drawing at 16 and began again around 22. The last ten years..wow, its been that long?, I've prayed and prayed and worked for improvement. I am in my thirties now and still not where I'd like to be. Though..there is hope, my 2008 works underway now are so much better. I think it is the shift back to my roots. How long have you been at it Utopia?

mystmaiden- Actually, I entered the bardics quite a bit of it in the early years. I made my way slowly up to the top rank in the bardics. (5 years) Slowly because competitions there aren't based on artistic ability, but rather content..that and the judges like color. Sadly I don't do much color and I tend to illustrate characters, or npcs and not scenes. I stopped submitting art work (by this time a prize wasn't desired, merely a desire to illustrate the world I so enjoyed) when every submission was rejected. I could understand why, it just frustrated me not to be able to share. Achaea was an excellent source for my journey through fantasy art and I am glad to have had the opportunity to experience it all. My final submission was Tenevriel, which is here in my gallery.
