Much as my life tries to distract me from it, I keep coming back to art. It's a fundamental part of my OS. Imaginative art has been a passion from my wee years (4 or 5). Growing up during the Space Race, my creative juices usually yearned skyward. I loved creating sci-fi images that had their roots in factual science. Or just cute ladies. Or lunar exploring penguins. Or a twisted mix of all three.
Okay, I haven't actually tried that... yet... It was drilled into my head, very early, that art was not a viable career. It was 20 years before I realized how much hooey that was. With a college degree in the sciences I made a course correction and eeked out something almost representing "a living" as a professional SF illustrator in the late 80's. My work was mostly done for paper and pen RPG companies - all the big players at the time.
In the 90's I turned to computer games, but I foolishly drifted into the administrative side. Once I left that field, I began the task of backtracking to rekindle my illustrative/design/graphics roots.
In Jan. of 2006, my pal Tom (TomPeters) introduced me to DAZ Studio. I became immediately addicted - and I don't use that term lightly! Much money spent and little sleep has been had since. 3D figure modeling has sunk its hooks deep into my brain. Ouch!

Beautiful! I love the integration of graphics and 3D elements in this one- the color relationships are really cool. It goes almost without saying that the expression and pose are fluid and lifelike, and that the lighting is wonderful.

Superb presentation!

I'm really enjoying the Adara series of images that you've been doing lately... this one would have to be my favorite of the lot though (although Manta Crossing is a close runner up). The use of form and color really tie the image together very nicely, as does the use of a more graphic style background (i.e. not the full scene, but an implied part of it... something that you do very well). Can't wait to see more.
