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.

Positive and negative comments are warranted on this one. I read your writings and saw what you wrote on the skirt. I'm looking at this series as if I owned a pool hall and hired you, with that in mind, it's easier to find the right words to comment instead of saying: cool, nice, awesome, excellent - the standard words we all use as comments. When I first seen it, I thought eww, I don't know... my dinner was ready so I left the image on the screen. I couldn't touch my computer because I was eating french fries, so I sat a stared - LOL... and durring that time, I had a change of heart on the character's pose. I didn't like the pose at first because it displayed indicisiveness... I've always looked at 7 as powerful and dominant - after all it is the Luckiest number... and then the pose fit... she doesn't care because she is easy go lucky. The skirt? ...no... it should not have been on the 7 ball, "too much white" - it would of been great on the white (cue) ball. As far as the color, it's hard to tell what you see. My old computer was "brighter" and when I look at my old stuff on my new computer everything looks sooooo much darker. the girls top, should match the balls color, her lips darker (to match the ball) the necklaces could go red, black or white or a mixer. The character herself - I like her.... If you were to take the ball away and ask which ball she is, you probably would not get the answer you would hope for - I would of guessed the cue ball.... I hope you find my opinion helpful instead of negative, I really am enjoying your series. YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!!

Darkglass
Delightful work a really pleasure to view each one!!

Xcellent modeling work! Beautiful presentation!

Oh, I like the thought of the cue ball going with this skirt, because it would be like a big pearl to go with the lace! I think of Seven as being very sleek for some reason, perhaps because of the wing-shape of the number. And I think the color should always be as you show it, and never brown;)

That's a fantastic image!!!
