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

WOW! What a beauty of an image! Loaded with colors,props and excellent post-work. The little splashes of water around the little dragon in the water looks good. Nice convincing mist on the water. Excellent image.

It is an attractive girl and I like her 40'ish look with the cool scantily clothing but most of all I love the lavish environment and the beautiful color tone overall. Including the fog!

Roxie, as always you have gone and outdone yourself once more with this lovely work of art. Can't get over the peaceful feeling I get from viewing this one and just love the (kits) name you gave the baby dragons.

Roxy, I love your work! This one makes me say Meeeeeeeee-yow! Hey, wait a minute - there ARE cats and little dragons, too. Don't know how I missed them - musta been looking at something else! :-D What do you call a baby dragon? Hmmm.... gotta think about that one..... Dragonettes? Anyway, this is just delightful! Alanna is gorgeous, of course, and the setting is so serene, and beautifully lighted. And as someone with a passion for old lamps and lanterns, I LOVE that lantern! The cat arching his back looking at the little dragon in the water (about to nibble her toe) is delightful. The cat swatting at the flying dragon had better be careful, or he might get a little singed! So much here to look at and delight in! Another Roxy masterpiece!

A lovely retreat for such a lovely lady. The little dragonets are adorable and the poses with the cats look so natural. Love the surrounding plants, you do an amazing job with getting everything to look like it belongs in the picture. So beautiful!
