I'm a 50-something Scotsman living in Glasgow, and I've been into CG art since 2005, and I like to think I'm not that bad at producing stuff that people like. I just hope I'm not deluding myself (^_^) My tastes run from glamour and fantasy, anime and manga, through to retro SF images and fake magazine and book covers.
I used Poser when I first started, but now I use DAZ Studio (latest version) for setting up and posing figures, and Bryce for the final renders. My own props and sets are created in TS4, which is a bit clunky, but it lets me build some interesting stuff. PhotoShop and Gimp are where it all comes together. I use only DAZ people in my artwork, as I find the Poser people a bit lacking in the looks and versatility department. I used to draw a lot, but discovering 3D has allowed me to create the kind of images I could never achieve with 'normal' media.
Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments that I have received. It's nice to get feedback from fellow artists. Makes posting the images seem worthwhile. At one time I was producing a CGI comic for a British comic-magazine called "Spaceship Away" but the editor decided that he would reduce my page count - and I decided that no he wasn't and pulled out all together. Although it lasted a short time it allowed me to experience life as a professional comics artist.
Hopefully it won't be my only time ^_^

Thanks for the credit! A lovely portrait with great hair! Did you use some sort of background map - ideally an HDRI with some good hightlights - otherwise there isn't anything there to reflect!

gorgeous portrait.

This is nicely done. Having shadows turned on for every light source is a bit complex which is something that I would personally avoid if I can. Working with V4 is nice but I wish that I had the Elite pack. The WASG hair is a good choice.

This is a good looking portrait. I use the V4 for most of my pinups because she's just easier to work with than V3 or the native Poser characters. Yeah her morphs are expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Nice work!

I find that if you disable the shadows you get unrealistic glowing in certain areas - inside the mouth for example. I know multiple are ugly but I find the lack of shadows where they would be a bit weird. Just wish my old Bryce could do GI...
