I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

A very sombre and atmospheric image and matched by your narrative. A lot of feeling in here - but I sense some light around the corner...?

Such sadness and sorrow, seems ashame one person has to bear so much at one time. I got tears just reading, but I'm rather weepy today anyway :/ Wonderful image, shows her solitude and pain. Wonderful chapter, even if it is sad. Yes, I'm one of "those" people who gets very involved in the story ;)

Brilliant! Larry, this image is the perfect compliment to the story at this point. The symbolism of the scene accurately captures her depression and despondence. As usual, your writing is carefully crafted to give maximum emotional impact. We all knew this scene was coming, but you have delivered it like a full-out body blow. I salute your skill, sir!

Excellent image and writing. You have described her depressed state, with its accompanying apathy, very well. There is some hope in her curiosity about the mountain fortress. Hopefully, in time, that curiosity will be enough to rouse her and distract her mind from grief, at least enough to allow time to begin to lessen her pain. Beautiful image. The starkness of the room and her small size in it, are so appropriate for this moment, when she feels so alone. Superb lighting, that outlines her features, but keeps her mostly in darkness. Lovely work.
