I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

I saw one of these for the first time yesterday, only a few inches long. This one is quite colorful and certainly a nice shot. PS You have a great attitude!

This is marvelous! I love a good praying mantis...the funny thing though is their heads are so small compared to the rest of them. Oh well. I love the details in this...those complicated mouth parts always intrigue me. I wonder if humans would say things more conscientiously if we had complicated mouths with all sorts of parts to keep track of? Hmmm...there's a thought. This is a fantastic picture! I love the details and the color.

Omgosh, great picture. When I seen the thumbnail I thought... alien invasion, lol. I guess if there are aliens in outerspace that is what I think it look like, lol. I know I am weird sometimes.

I've not seen one of those in quite a few years. Great shot.
MineFujiko
LOL! Beautiful pgotogenic mantis!

Great shot! The eyes are wonderful. You know, I can't see a photo of a mantis without thinking of the band leader from Space Ghost. LOL! This is awesome!

She appears to be a little bug-eyed! Oh, that's how she should look:) Like the way she posed with the blinds behind her to provide a most interesting BG. Well done.
pixeluna
Seems like something is bugging her (it). She's a gorgeous, long-legged beauty! Nice capture, Rod.

alessimarco

i love the "apple"bit muahahaha,and i guess its hard to find out about the sex of a mantis we alwauys look for the obvious maybe they are different hehehe. a fine fellow i would say the proudness of the species.

Wow! More good crap from you, my friend!! I LOVE these guys and love to watch them hunt. One time I actually saw one catch a dragon fly...didn't work out to well for the dragon fly as he was eaten head first, but what can I say? Crap happens!
mrestey
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ROD! I LOOOOOOOOVE mantis'. These are such great guardians of gardens and back yards - and apparently windows too, LOL. This close-up is nice because you can see the fine details like the weave pattern on the wings. Excellent capture my friend. Thanks for sharing. As Holly pointed out, this is excellent crap!
angelafair
This is the BEST shot of a praying mantis I have seen in a loooong time! fantastic shot!!
NightGallery
Very cool creature. Wish I could find one someday.

"Those big, green eyes, that trim, slender figure, and those long legs", ROFL, dang buddy, I'll never see another mantis without thinking about that line. It's kinda hard to tell but that guy/gal looks huge. Either way it is a "gorgeous" mantis, and my personal favorite from the insect world. Well this and the dragonfly, the rest just seem to be pesky little things. Great shot.

Wonderful crap shot of this mantis Rod LOL, keep the crap coming we all love it.. Well done!!
