I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

You really got the fear and passion in this one Larry and as always, considering how limited this characters expressions are you did great. Body language of fear is universal and you got it. I see the little critter is the back is still checking her out.

Oh no! Poor, poor Misty. I feel for her. Somehow I can't help but see my Labrador puppy Seven in Misty... Seven is 3 months old and though she's feisty, she would be upset too. You really grabbed me with this picture. Imagine what impace it would have on kids. Fantastic. :-)

Awww. She looks so forlorn! But not so horribly sad that it would make little kids genuinely upset to see, which seems important after visiting my nephew last week ((grin)). I really like how you paid attention to shadows, so that she looks like a part of the image instead of floating. I also like that despite the fact that you've got a lot of interesting things in the background, you still give us a close up of this emotional moment instead of trying to show "everything". This is going to be a good book, I can tell. :)
