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.

Whimsical scene with beautiful texture rendering and soft lighting as per your style. As always you do exceptionally well on the dragon herself with great expression work. Welcome back and it looks like the project is going well.

Great scene Larry although I am concerned with the way the blacksmith is holding his hammer. I hope the nice old lady will take good care of Misty.

Um, it looks like not ALL the townspeople are that friendly! A really nice image that shows the relative scales (pardon the pun) of the dragon versus the people, and a great interaction between the three characters in the foreground. Love this story so far, and I am sure the kids will, too.
