Je länger man malt, desto mehr ist man Lehrling The longer you paint the more you are an apprentice.

Brief introduction: SaintFox is
-a woman born 1962 at the north sea coast of Germany.
-moved to the german midwest in 1996
-to a small town that offers a lot of medieval inspiration
-has at least two souls
...and about the nick: It's a mixture of my haircolor and a tattooed fox cub that I wear and that looks so saintly as a vegetarian. As long as I can think I enjoyed being creative - and I always loved learning something new! As I had my first look here I so much wanted to do images like the ones I saw in the gallery.But it took me several years to be brave enough to post my first image here. After all I do not understand anymore what made me hesitate so long... I'm a professional artist/illustrator, not at least because of the permanent encouragement of the "Captain of my heart", he's my muse, my secretary, my "wonderwall" against those things that are able to disturb creative processes so easily. Most of my work is published by a german gallery in Gelsenkirchen and available at my own homepage, too. In late 2005 I wask asked for my first collaborated works and so I finally found a second profession in doing my own characters and textures what enables me to give my images even more personal style.
Whenever I start to work on something new - especially when working with characters - there is a moment when the bundle of polygons and pixels suddenly seems to look at me from the other side of the monitor, it's the moment when my creations get personality. This is, at least, what I like to "transport" with my products: artist tools that are able to inspire the people that work with them because they have a kind of "virtual soul".
A woman under influence
Major influences on my work come from other admired artists and music. Some of my favorites: Jan Vermeer van Delft James Jaques Tissot Rembrandt van Rijn Hajime Sorayama Olivia De Berardinis Marcus Gray Herb Ritts Helmut Newton Alberto Vargas Ricky Carralero Gerald Brom ...and, regarding the feelings that I have when doing my characters: Dr. Viktor Frankenstein! Music: Too much to count, alternative and classics preferred but sometimes it has to be soul or jazz, too. The second large influence are people I met here: They comment on my images and help me to enhance them, they share their knowledge and finally some of them decided to involve me in their projects. For me (as I grew up in the before-internet-age) it's still some kind of miracle that people are able to work together independent of where they live.
...and, before I forget, the strongest influence during the last years came from some lines I read about 15 years ago:
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.

Excellent!

Nice.... I wanna see one of those movies.... that shawl certainly is something special and Pauline wears it well. In so far as a tummy like a six-pack of beer... I have this saying when rubbing my tummy... 'Why settle for a six-pack when you can have a whole keg' LOL
fabiana
thank you Meike, love the image and absolutely agree with your oppinion... In my case, I am more tending to thin girls, not exuberant, because I used to be one of them in my teens... is a way to remember :) But actually I was thinking about to do a complete natural and normal girl... is an excellent point of view. Pauline looks very alike to one of my daugther's friends, Marianella. I will show her this pic :) And thanks for using the shawl... really look perfect for that image... and you render as a goddess :)
lwperkins
You do indeed render as a goddess;-) I love this material on the shawl, it is like she is wearing a starry night!

That is absolutely gorgeous Meike! Hubby says.."Very Barbarella". I was just trying to resist Hidden Winds last night, so now I have even more reason to go get it.

Although I was only crawling around in 1966, I appreciate the look of women who are natural beauties with some curves to their figure, in any age. This is excellent work, a true beauty, and your pose, lighting, and arrangement in this pic is fantastic!

I know you've got this theme going of all these pinups and putting dates by them... I love it... The pose and quality, render, lighting and all that stuff is superb... I hope you're fileing your characters for a later date... What? ... yeah, I'm gonna give you an idea, I do that because I have too many to go after myself, so I drop ideas from time to time... When you are satisfied with going back in time and you get to that last pin up, then I'd like for you to think about something that you can have fun with - your characters. Take this one for example... say she's 30 years old - prime...that was 42 years ago... this lady would be 72... This one, since she's 72 I'd have her standing next to her husband with this picture in her hands as she looks at pictures of her grand kids on the wall... one idea... another, she's down at the police station bailing her grandchild out of jail and the chief is her age with the magazine with her in it and he's ask'n for an autograph... I'm headed in too many directions to go after this idea, but I think you could have a blast revisiting you models and aging them... you know the ones that are hitting 50 you could show them trying the same pose with a photographer working with them... Sinatra's daughter was in Playboy at 50, so was Farrah... I hope this excites you to want to do it, cause I know I'd have a blast seeing it - but somehow try to work the pinups into the older pictures... I had fun dream'n and I hope the spark I just sent you turns into a flame... this upload is superb... YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!!
