Hi folks, sorry about the bio delay. In a nutshell, contrary to popular belief, I am an Underground Miner in the Goldfields of Western Australia. I fly in and out of work on a 2 week on and 1 week off roster. I fly home to an incredible woman (coming up to our 29th wedding anniversary) who has put up with my passions and hobbies more understandingly than any other person I know. We have Four incredible children who are talented in their own rights. I have played with computers for over 30 years, but it wasn't until I finally convinced myself that the Internet wasn't the evil monster I thought it was going to be, that I realized what I had been missing out on. I came across websites like Digital Blasphemy and Visual Paradox (Thru the old webshots wallpaper program), and Man was I hooked. I instantly fell in love with the 3D art world. More so, because I discovered Bryce and Poser (by Metacreations back then). MATE, I had found my medium. Being limited to stick men and a few cariacatures, I was in expression heaven. I was a poet ( still are to a degree), but words can only tell so much, with these programs I could finally bring to life the images and inspirations that lived inside of my head. I have strong beliefs, but I was almost tempted to steal the program off the shelf (using trial versions at that time). Quit smoking and drinking to save every penny to get Bryce and Poser. The rest is history. I have seen my techniques and results improve over the years, but I really enjoy seeing others develope as well. There is some fantastic artists here at R'osity, and more so there are some really incredible people here as well. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and browsing thru the galleries. Wishing you well, Tony Corkery

I really like the style, so full marks for the concept. I hope you don't mind me pointing out a couple of things, though... If you are aiming for realism, I think you have too much bump on her skin... like on her forehead and cheeks and shoulder, and it's also beginning to show bump or displacement artifacts around the sensitive geometry area just inside the nostrils, where there is a lot of curvature. Also that armpit is very rough, and is made somewhat worse by some unshadowed light coming from the right.

Izy's comments aside I have to say that I have always liked the hyperexagerated details you often invoke into the skin textures... since this would have to be deliberate I assume it is your intent ... and I for one like it. Your tattoos are striking and totally original, I wish I could create something like this. Great lighting and I especially love how it plays off the cornea of her eyes.
