Je länger man malt, desto mehr ist man Lehrling The longer you paint the more you are an apprentice.

Brief introduction: SaintFox is
-a woman born 1962 at the north sea coast of Germany.
-moved to the german midwest in 1996
-to a small town that offers a lot of medieval inspiration
-has at least two souls
...and about the nick: It's a mixture of my haircolor and a tattooed fox cub that I wear and that looks so saintly as a vegetarian. As long as I can think I enjoyed being creative - and I always loved learning something new! As I had my first look here I so much wanted to do images like the ones I saw in the gallery.But it took me several years to be brave enough to post my first image here. After all I do not understand anymore what made me hesitate so long... I'm a professional artist/illustrator, not at least because of the permanent encouragement of the "Captain of my heart", he's my muse, my secretary, my "wonderwall" against those things that are able to disturb creative processes so easily. Most of my work is published by a german gallery in Gelsenkirchen and available at my own homepage, too. In late 2005 I wask asked for my first collaborated works and so I finally found a second profession in doing my own characters and textures what enables me to give my images even more personal style.
Whenever I start to work on something new - especially when working with characters - there is a moment when the bundle of polygons and pixels suddenly seems to look at me from the other side of the monitor, it's the moment when my creations get personality. This is, at least, what I like to "transport" with my products: artist tools that are able to inspire the people that work with them because they have a kind of "virtual soul".
A woman under influence
Major influences on my work come from other admired artists and music. Some of my favorites: Jan Vermeer van Delft James Jaques Tissot Rembrandt van Rijn Hajime Sorayama Olivia De Berardinis Marcus Gray Herb Ritts Helmut Newton Alberto Vargas Ricky Carralero Gerald Brom ...and, regarding the feelings that I have when doing my characters: Dr. Viktor Frankenstein! Music: Too much to count, alternative and classics preferred but sometimes it has to be soul or jazz, too. The second large influence are people I met here: They comment on my images and help me to enhance them, they share their knowledge and finally some of them decided to involve me in their projects. For me (as I grew up in the before-internet-age) it's still some kind of miracle that people are able to work together independent of where they live.
...and, before I forget, the strongest influence during the last years came from some lines I read about 15 years ago:
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.

A nice work.

LMAO I hope USA steals that program idea too. It sounds REALLY funny. Then again,, the music; Al Green: "..whether times are good or bad..", Sly: "..bloods thicker than the mud..", Curtis Mayfield "..that's what I said"... Titles not required, still gives me goosebumps. Can your star still find proper bellbottoms though? Use that girly phone.

Very nice render, once again i see the advantage to use the dynamics cloths against the conforming one.

Wonderful render...
Believable3D
Nice. Reminds me a bit of the Russian tennis player Svetlana Kuznetsova.

dynamics are so much fun, aren't they? also am plaing with those a lot again . its this little part of"technical risk " you cannot influence to the point, a fact I like a lot. As I like the striped dress and Tony's look . Natural and fun to play with :) If you come out with this render when waiting for "Der letzte Bulle" I am actually wondering what you get in mind when I point you on "Magnum" ? >:o)

We had something similar, but different, here in the UK: Life on Mars and the follow-up series, Ashes to Ashes (yes, they are named after David Bowie songs!) However here the cop was thrown back in time first to the '70s and then the '80s, and had to deal with a lack of computers, mobile phones, sat nav, nonsmoking and political correctness. It was complicated and I can't do it justice here. :) Lovely picture, and thanks for the tips on dynamic necklaces. I haven't got one to work properly yet; it may be time to try again.

OK, I have hit the 100 to go mark and this one is #36. I am going to comment on each one. I saw who Is #1 and was a surprise. Also One artist/vendor is on the list a lot. She must have thought I hated her. I uploaded my very first animated GIF , but it does not animate when I look ed at it. She is supposed to stick out her tongue at you. Anyway except for this the preamble were typed on the spot and please allow for typos, misspellings and disjointed thoughts. Well I am not German , but the plot line sounds interesting. Of course being Japanese I never heard of it. I lied about being Japanese, actually I am a mutt I do have a little German in me I was told. You certainly have given her an intense expression. Looks like the expression that would come when the "fight or flight" response would be taking place. Song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNA7DcVppEs
