January 2013
Been at this site five years now and have seen a lot of growth - both artistically and spiritually thanks to the many good friends I have met here. I work with Poserpro2012, photoshop CS6, PSPX2, Perfect Effects 3 and Photomatrix 4. I love working in the material room and continue to find lots of growth there. I also do a lot of postwork fixing, special affects, and framing, all for which photoshop is indispensible. I love doing postwork; no image is anywhere near complete without it.
In the last year or so I've added quite a bit of photography to my gallery. I started with a Nikon Coolpix 9100 point and shoot. It gives amazing quality and its small size makes it easy to pack around and just grab some shots as they come into my vision. I still use it for sneaky people shots but now I use a Nikon D5100 DSLR for my more serious keeper work. Had I known how all consuming my passion for photography would become I should have jumped to a D600 low end pro camera.In my gallery you will see mostly storylines based upon my own visions and versions of Mesopotamian Mythology, sprinkled with some Celtic works and an occasional pinup or two and quite a few special requests. I have long been a writer, though a terrible speller, and so most of my images come with a storyline or poem. No image seems complete to me without words to accompany them.In high school I trained in both the Sciences and Fine Arts but when I went to university I had to choose one or the other and so I went with the life sciences. Art dropped out of my life for a long time... though I never gave up my interest in archeology and mythology. I wound up with a graduate degree in the life sciences with majors in physical geography, ecology and evolutionary biology. My love of nature and a deep naturalistic spirituality eventually led me to the wikkan tradition.Some five and a half years ago I discovered poser after coming across some great 3-d art on the web and after some six months of stumble bum practice I joined this site.Doing this type of art has released many visions and stories that were locked up inside my soul for many ages. It has allowed me to explore the life and times of my primal spiritual ancestor, a girl also named Roxanne, who lived in the Sumerian regions. She whispers the stories of these classic legends in my mind and I create the images to go with them.My stories are mostly written as dialogue and they tend to be rather long. So grab a coffee, a tea or better yet a beer, kick back, relax and stay a while.I hope you enjoy your stay here.Hugs and blessed beRoxy

This is gorgeous, the scene is so dynamic it just draws you in! Love the character and the colors, and I'm very touched :-) Thank you!

I really like the unusual look of this character, it makes her really stands out. The posing is good, although a pose like that would look better from the side, or 3/4, where we can really appreciate the long lines of her body. On the other hand, the background picture is amazing, it really increases the energy level of the whole scene. Very cool!

Reflecion on ground is superb touch. I like the scene with skulls. Warrior girl is cool with her sword weaponry.

WOW, I can't believe that I waited so long to post a cooment on this oimage Roxy, Sorry:( This is a beautiful render, I realise that it is suppose to be make up on her face, but the layout of iti makes it seem so real, almost an island of Dr. Moroue feel. Her costume is very good, but you have always had the period costumes down pat! Her pose also makes me think of the whole genetic enginered catwoman, it is very feline in its nature stretched out and it has a waiting to pounce on her victim. Her claws are beautiful, your choice of swords, Roman era from the looks of them are outstanding. A very strong and no nonsence blade that although heave gave the user the momentum to kill quickly in the heat of battle. She is a real beauty Roxy, can she follow me home so I can keep her?

I can't believe how many images I missed while away during the summer. This is one of the best images on Rendo, bar none. Everything about it literally just pops. The props, the effects, and the floor reflections...WOW. I am in awe.

Darn, we're not allowed to have pet's here! I guess I would have to list her as a free-range Tiger. Don't tell the neighbors.

Wow! A strong girl, indeed. Just try holding that pose, with broadswords. Ouch! An excellent piece of work, Roxy. Posing, lighting, material, FX, are all excellent. Love that you're now painting your own backgrounds, too. Is there no end to your abilities?
