BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

I love this. Great colors, and wonderful imagery. For this being your first work in Vue, you've done an excellent job. The background. dragon, dolphins...all of it has such a amazing clarity to it. Wonderful!

Here is perfect evidence as to why I have been a fan of your artwork since I came to Renderosity a year and a half ago. You always create, push the limits, settle for nothing less than the best you can do with the experience thus gained to the moment. This magnificent little creation has more appeal, character, composition, lighting, color, and raw magic in two square inches than 1000's of others have in the complete render. Congratulations Shadow for yet again pushing the envelop, and showing all of us what real art is all about. A truly gorgeous piece of skilled craftsmanship!

gallimel
lovely.. thank you for the suggestion in coming here and see this SW :) It's full of tenderness and grace, the colours are so variate in their tones, and brilliant :) The thing I love the most is the face of the dragon :) and the tree texture :) I'd just soften out a tiny bit the lines of the dolphin body as they look slightly un-smooth.. but really, just if I have to be very very very picky. I think it's a fantastic start in vue :) And your style is preserved and it's as lovely as usual :)
