Hey, you! :D
Thought I may as well tell you a bit about myself - just because everyone seems to either tell you a bit about themselves or leaving their bio blank ...
My name is Tina and I hail from the western coasts of Australia. I live in a small town and trying to drive my husband crazy just because I can. He is a wonderful man - letting me work on Poser (MY ADDICTION!!!!!) and looks after our child.
When I was little - I love to draw and used to make my own book cover illustrations. I used to be able to draw birds pretty well in my primary class (ego boost here...) :D I did not find school a very pleasant place to be so I did not try to pursue in learning more about arts - so I would say that I am self taught in that sense.
It was around 2004 when I just lose all inspiration in drawing but need some kind of a creative outlet ... my husband told me about Poser and thought I would be interested in it ... and that more or less did it for me ... I love Poser and could not imagine my life without it.
When I do a poser render - I always want to do some form of postwork on it - I rarely leave the render as it is - I have to adjust things to make it look better ... that's just me and its not just to make it looking better - I am also a Photoshop addict ... (yes ... go on ... gasp!) :D
I do strongly believe that we will always be learning something new each day and that we all never stop learning. That is why I love getting constructive criticism concerning my gallery works. I may fix my image according to the criticism or I may not fix it because I would either - not agree with your perspective - or - I do not want to work on that image but I will keep that criticism in mind for the next image.
Although the "Wow - looks fantastic" comments are lovely and ego-boosting - but criticism in the constructive way is the only way that we can better ourselves.
I do also have a tendency to blather on and on so it is best if I stop ....as of ... now! :)
Don't trip over potholes!
:)

Really wonderful portrait and unque lighting and POV! Well done!!!

Lovely high key image - excellent postwork in that score. While the image may not showcase the fine texture, it still lends a sense of the character's unique features. He expression is neutral... but in an almost come-hither way. The transition of lip stick to skin is very nicely treated - especially at he mouth corners - and the lip sheen is uncannily realistic. It's the details that count! You sort of have two framing elements here - the hair, which is doing a wonderfully play dance around her face - and the drop shadow border which appealing is set asymmetric. I'm a big fan of asymmetry :) The only thing that feels a little off is that I keep expecting to see a little shadow of the lower eyelids - just a LITTLE one - on the eye white. Not sure if it should be there by my eye keeps wanting to see it?..... Anyway, fine portrait.

Oooh, this one sure appeals to my 1950s sensibilities (when I first looked at girlie...I mean ART magazines). Good one, Miss T!

I just said out loud "Man, now that is cool." She looks terrific, and this is the kind of playing-with-the-borders framing I really love.
