Hi, I'm Frank Rizzo and you are a figment of my imagination
Â
My bio thing
   I only do what the voices in my head tell me to do. I really dig art and music, for me they go hand in hand. I'm interested in a lot of different arts = Fantasy, sci-fi, pencil drawings, comic or line art, escaping straight jackets, paintings, cgi, videogame cut scenes & trailers, alcohol, anime, photography, sculptures, writing, making a public ass out of myself to embarrass my girlfriend (and yes, that is an art),  you get the point.
   This is a site full of some crazy talent, so you should look at my favorites list if you have the time. It has a variety of extremely talented artist's work, I know this because i have seen it...its true. I have a ton of them so get comfy and make a day of it.
   I've got no training or experience with this but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. I started rendering around the beginning of  August 2007, and I have absolutely no clue what the hell I'm doing, but I'm having fun doing it so it's all good. I should probably pick up a tutorial or three but I'm stubborn and like to learn through trial and error. I'm the guy that will struggle for hours rather than just read the directions or look at a map. Feel free to give me any feedback, I'll soak it in like a dry sponge.Â
   I've also infected a few other sites with my presence, but my name changes depending on the b.a.c. in my system at the time. I'm mostly active here or at deviantART. I'm known as Frank Rizzo but that is just a pseudonym, the name is actually an old joke as well as a real life alias I use to mess with people at parties and such. It's a long story, don't ask ;)
I also run a few different groups over at devianArt that vary in Medium, Genre and Theme. In particular is a Poser/daz 3D group, and a Fantasy group that all mediums are welcome. So if you are over there check it out, add me as well if you want. Be more than happy to talk to ya ;)

   Thanks for having me here, and I do occasionally try to render some artwork. So if your really bored and have nothing better to do it might be worth it to wander on by my gallery and take a peek. Who knows, you might actually like it. I really appreciate and thank anybody who actually took the time to read this, you have more patience than I.
Â
Have a good one,
Frank Rizzo

P.S. The friends list right below here is exactly how it was added. I didn't shuffle people around or anything, not that anybody cares but just so ya know.

Pretty good, but this would have only been very good if real-time video. I'd say blur is overdone by many of us.

Great imagery!

The people above are right about the blur. When I saw that you had uploaded an image I came straight here to look at it but while it is a new departure its not as good as your previous images. Its still good but you have done very much better. I made a Star Wars model in Moi last week. Interested in a collaboration? I'm not that good but I would like to try modeling something and texture mapping it. I'll bung the model up now. Keith

Been so long since I watched that movie it's hard to recall. Well the time and the fact that Epi I didn't sit all that well with me and forced a prequel ban. Anywho... great image! The blur effect gives this a great sense of speed. Mission accomplished!

Very cool!!! Excellent work.

This update looks much better, originally the main character was out of focus and motion blurred as well (some of the comments above will seem out of context as the image was updated) and as such I deleted my original comment and am now commenting on this updated version. Nice concept and sense of motion, the only remaining thing I see is that the character is in complete sihlouette, yet the front facing parts of the hover bike are still very well lit. While there is a sense of drama or foreboading darkness about the sith character, if realism is the target- then Darth Maul may require a little bit more light- perhaps some specularity or something to define his form, clothing, etc.. a little better to match the rather bright ambient lighting hitting the front.
