I dont think of myself as an artist - more a creatively minded laymen. Im blessed with perpetual inspiration, but cursed by a lack of talent.
I have always loved to sketch, and on the odd occasion even paint. Unfortunately for me, a real world canvas doesnt have an undo button. This is why, back in 1996, I first started toying with a Shareware version of Paint Shop Pro (found on the cover of a magazine). I knew almost instantly that digital art was for me.
Fast forward to 2006, when I discovered a highly under-rated (yet unfortunately limited) program called FaceGen. Within hours of tinkering with the software I was creating realistic characters well beyond anything I could have managed via traditional mediums. But what to do about bodies for my newly created digital brethren?
I took it upon myself to scour the internet in search of a 3D software package that was flexible enough to fulfil my specific needs, while still being NOOB friendly. Untimely I didnt want to spend months, or even years deciphering the ins and outs of 3D Studio Max for instance.
It wasnt long before I caught digital whisperings of a program called Poser, which lead me eFrontiers very own site.
In search of more examples of Poser art I found myself inevitably at Renderosity...and I havent looked back since.
The community here is certainly a mixed bunch (as are all communities, online especially), but in the great majority they have proven to be incredibly helpful, and wonderfully supportive.
If you plan on commenting on my images (and I certainely hope you do) while praise is always appreciated, critical analysis and constructive criticism is encouraged.
Happy rendering!

It looks great, try not to be a "perfectionist" - I know that work cause I was called it by many half a lifetime ago... the Word use to bother me - lol... but they were right, I draw something, they'd like it and I'd start pointing out changes I want to make, they'd laugh and alot of times say: this is perfect, you're not changing a thing. so, I'll say it to you... This is perfect, don't change a thing

Thank you all. You’re far too kind. If there are any other iPad doodlers out there, I can’t recommend the Targus/Griffin stylus enough. I’ve destroyed 2 Pogo Sketch stylus’ (from over-use), and have been astounded at how much better the Targus is. Far more precise, and infinitely more resilient to wear and tear. Incidentally, you can get essentially the same stylus, unbranded, for around $2 on eBay; for those that aren’t brand conscious (I’ll be buying them from eBay from now on). Also, I strongly urge anyone with an iPad, PC or Mac to give Art Rage a try. For someone who has struggled for years to get my ideas on ‘paper’, I’ve found this of all art applications to be the most intuitive, tactile, and fun. And I think I’ve tried them all! :P ArtRage is to Photoshop what MudBox is to 3D Studio Max. :)

nice to see you posting again! i like the roughness. the cape is a touch awkward and the ear seems like more detail than fits the overall style, but it does an excellent job of capturing the major lines, providing texture and interesting brush strokes, and generally giving an accurate feel of the character.
