I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

Great character. I agree, M4 has limited clothing choices. Really like the facial features, very distinct. Great work!

Hi Larry, good to see you back! This looks like a great new character. He looks like a man of authority. The set is well-developed and you have really crisp ray trace shadows that look like they are coming through the multipane glass. I too have had trouble finding period piece costumes for M4 and have had to stay with M3 for some of my characters simply for a lack of clothes.

Great render and composition, Larry. LJ is a big guy.. but he seem properly dressed. Very good light setting on this scene. Makes a great atmosphere.+5 Sorry to hear Misty rejected again... It seems these publishers are really hard to get to. I hope your work goes through sooner or later, because it deserves it.

Wonderful character - and great lighting in this too!

Interesting character! The dagger to his left: is it a letter opener or protection? Misty: it is the economy, not the story, Larry. Stiff upper lip and all that. You will prevail, I am certain.

Nicely done, Larry! I am amazed at how much you convey about Jobil in this single image. The pose, expression, body type, clothing and setting speak volumes about the man - most impressive! The image is also impressive from a technical point of view - excellent lighting and shadows. Bravo!
