It's a render party! All that's missing is YOU. Plus, I heard a rumor that it was someone's birthday... (Not mine.) I tried to make "caricatures" of a few frequent commenters but I ran into some trouble. Hopefully you will find them laughably off-base, or possibly unrecognizable and confusing, rather that shocking and horrible. I want to say a big THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has supported and encouraged me this year! I also want to say some things about the Renderosity community. Everyone is so nice here! I know that civility is kind-of enforced, but I think the real key is that Renderosity seems to cater to an older demographic than some other websites out there (such as major one for amateur video). We all seem to know the Golden Rule (not sure if they teach that anymore) and we all have filters on our mouths. Most of all, no one has ever told me simply to give up, to quit trying. I am happy that I have made images that people have enjoyed. As for creating characters, I think that my dearest DIDI has achieved a "critical moe level" that some viewers would experience genuine trauma if something truly bad ever happened to her. Hopefully, we won't need to test this theory. What's coming in the future? Well... I have a few more things I want to post before the end of the year. After that, be forewarned... There is going to be a jump in time. I run the risk of having a "you changed it and ruined it" situation, but... I need to try to challenge myself. Isn't that what it's all about? Again, many thanks to everyone who has looked at my gallery throughout the year. Many happy returns, and... keep on rendering!
