Although I've been here awhile, I haven't uploaded any of my work. I am fairly new to this, and by no means educated to graphics except what I have learned basically on my own, but with the help of some excellant artists. From I.R. Brainiac, SK Originals, Po Smedley, Bones2112, Skinhit, Adni18, Boss0119, Tippytoenail, Bebop, Pumakitten & my good friend Redneckdude. The list goes on. I have done logons mainly for such fantastic artists such as romanceworks, bastrup, bogwoppet, cwrw, riggo40 & many more here @ renderosity. I mainly take the highly unusal, artistic works which move me to produce logons for LogonSudio for XP, Vista & Win7 for your startup screens. I am now doing wall renders, User icons to go with the various logon themes & also now doing Start8 start buttons for Win8. I do this as a hobby as I enjoy being able to show other artists work to the public so they can enjoy them as I do. It's an adventure to start off with being greeted and set the mood for a new day of creating the fantastic works that will be a part of someones's life and influence them to take the step to becoming artists also. I saw what everyone else was doing so I wanted to learn and be a part and begin creating that which has not been done. I was greatly moved by these works so I thought well start with the basics and help represent an authors work in a theme and along the way learn how to do them myself. I am blessed by those who took a chance and let me graciously use their artwork for this. I am thankful for all the kind, generous advice that I have been given along the way. I am far from being as you all are and hope to be a benefit from all your talents. I have galleries @ Wincustomize, Deviantart, Shadownwss & Skinbase to mention a few if you are interested and would like to look into my work. I have just started to upload what I have made here so it will take some time as I have more than 90 logons and some wall renders. The first is a logon Black Lagoon and there is a wallpack of three sizes to go with the logon. I hope you find my work enjoyable and always open to advice and comments. Please feel free to email me or send a sitemail with inquiries, etc... If you have a piece you would like to see done in a logon feel free to ask and I will find the time to create one that will fit the theme of your work. I always run the final work by the author back to make any changes necessary before final upload. I never take credit for what is not mine. I look forward to being more involved here and hope you all will visit from time to time, and maybe we can work on something together someday!!!Wincustomize gallery- http://stramp.wincustomize.com

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water (or lagoon...) Great representation of a classic monster. Excellent work!
stramp

Wow! This is just some of the best classic horror work I've ever seen on here! I give it the highest rating possible. One question, is the Creature a Poser Model?
stramp
THX shane! No the creature is an actual model, I retextured,colored and lit to make it more realistic. I thought the coloring with the background should be more vivid to feel as you were actually in the water with the Creature. I added fire and hue change to make the water murky with Paint.net. I surprised myself with the results as I made many variations and this was my choice for the logon and the wall.

As a 60's kid I grew up loving the Universal Monster movies, the Creature was always my favourite and this is just awesome

I am so happy to bring those memories back Midge! I remember as a kid sitting with my Grandmother eating popcorn and thrilling to Chiller! Your comment is very much appreciated! Thank you!

When I first saw this I thought Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!! It was one of my favourite creatures from way back then. I Was so proud that you alowed me to use it and colabourate on my finnished piece. I mean how do you make something that was awesome to start with appear fresh and new? I guess we were able to pull it off with your guidence and help I have become a logon maker and now am trying a bit in digital manipulation. Not at all great, but I am pleased with the few pieces I've done. Thanks again Stramp. So glad you shared your experience with me and inspired me with your great logons to carry on. I'm glad you like George Grie as well as me because I'm so busy with other artists pieces I've not bothered him so much on a daily bases for his permissions which at last count were up to 6 so I've got a lot of catching up to do on his alone LOL Sincere, Thanks Charlie
