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

I know that the the painting has an underlying meaning and that everything is heavy with symbolism but I don't care. I just enjoy the colors and the beauty of it and wonder over how some simple post work by a skilled artist can do such marvels to a Poser figure.

Beautiful render. Yes sometimes these images just take on a life of their own. They want to be what they want to be, not what we want them to be. Beautiful rich colors and nice dedi to our dear friend Schonee!

It is surely a sweet well you have been drinking from lately, Rox'; sweet and brimming with vibrant inspiration. The first impression which delighted my eyes upon viewing was the luxuriant warmth of the scene. Dark and exuberant rose. There is much to enjoy here; a work which merits in-depth observation and return visits. There are indications enough for us to recognize her as the High Priestess: the cresent crowned sceptre and her throne upon which the lunar motif appears twice more. There is a great deal more which it seems the work wanted to say/tell. Sometimes, like Campbell wrote, it is best to get out of our own way and let our intended work and life come through. I smiled brightly at the light-hearted cat and mouse motif. Very often the process of manifesting our inspirations is just such a play. I also smiled to find the note about this work just minutes after posting an ellaboration of sorts to the Gothic Memories portrait. Another work inspired by the fate of all things dear to the human heart. A beautiful and strong craft work, Roxy. With dear warmth, Terry
