As a hobbyist photographer I developed an interest in combining "fantasy and reality" back in the late 1990's. At that time my graphics knowledge consisted of a vague familiarity with PhotoImpact. With the help of some friends who were learning Poser at the time I obtained some "tubes" of fairies which I incorporated into various shots of flowers and gardens and eventually purchased Poser in an attempt to create my own additions to my photos.
Through a graphics design course I took on line I met some of the greatest Poser artists around. Paramount was meeting Jayme from Illusions Designs (in my mind the "King of Poser Art" ) who spent countless hours and infinite patience teaching me how to actually use the program, add dimension and shadow and most importantly--create a personality to the figures thus giving them that certain "glow". Without that, you would most likely still be looking at flat, lifeless images in my gallery.ÂÂ
Once comfortable with using the program I developed an interest in character creation.  Again my dear Jayme to the rescue -- always coaching and challenging me to go beyond what I thought I could do...and the result is the characters you will soon find in my store.   ÂÂ
I still have a ways to go before I'm completely satisfied with my images and characters, but in the journey lies all the fun!

I do, it'll bring more liers, more people that backstab, and generally more irritation than it's worth some day's. But the alternative is worse, lol. Nice romantic scene.

Now that's really pretty. I particularly like the little water splashes where their bodies meet the water...very realistic. I guess we don't know what the morrow brings, but judging from the image, I believe one could make a fairly safe bet on the night.
