"Summer Rain"
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

Oh, look out! It's Girls Night at grampa's brewery - um, I mean library... Well you've left the door open wide for some delightful fooling around with these lovley dieties. I can't wait to see where you take this one, Roxy. Maybe I'd better read up on some Sumerian legends... Wonderful artwork as always, Roxy!

Holy cow Roxy, I feel honored you would do this. I wish I had more time to visit everyone's gallery on a more frequent basis but work and health issues are REALLY slamming me right now. Thank you so much for the nice acknowledgment. I get a lot of wonderful enjoyment watching how your skill continues to grow. I hope everyone takes a lesson from your perseverance and desire to move your art forward. Again thanks and I want to share something with you that I have been trying that you might find adds another level to your work (not that it needs it... something I found that helps me). Lately I have been adding a wash to my images to tie all the values together. A lot of artists do this when painting. I was just sharing this with MrWolf53. What I do when I finish all my postwork, is use the photo filter feature in Photoshop to add a wash of color to the whole render. The button for this is at the bottom of the layer palette. Click on this button (round...next to layer mask button) and then select "photo filter" option from the pull down menu that appears. When the photo filter box appears, click on the color in the box and then click anywhere on your render to load a color/value from that render. I try to chose a color most common to the entire render. After you have selected that color, click back on the color box and a color picker box will appear. From this choose a color gradient to the left of center so that you are selecting a grayer version of the original color. Now, in the photo filter box, select a density of between 50 - 70%. This will add the value to the whole render and will act like a wash, bringing all the elements of the render together. It can be a small thing or a dramatic effect, you can choose by altering the color and density. The end result should be that all your different layers will have more in common regarding value. If I did a lousy job of explaining this, please let me know and I will try again...haha. At any rate, thnx again and I hope you find this useful (not that you need it).
