January 2013
Been at this site five years now and have seen a lot of growth - both artistically and spiritually thanks to the many good friends I have met here. I work with Poserpro2012, photoshop CS6, PSPX2, Perfect Effects 3 and Photomatrix 4. I love working in the material room and continue to find lots of growth there. I also do a lot of postwork fixing, special affects, and framing, all for which photoshop is indispensible. I love doing postwork; no image is anywhere near complete without it.
In the last year or so I've added quite a bit of photography to my gallery. I started with a Nikon Coolpix 9100 point and shoot. It gives amazing quality and its small size makes it easy to pack around and just grab some shots as they come into my vision. I still use it for sneaky people shots but now I use a Nikon D5100 DSLR for my more serious keeper work. Had I known how all consuming my passion for photography would become I should have jumped to a D600 low end pro camera.In my gallery you will see mostly storylines based upon my own visions and versions of Mesopotamian Mythology, sprinkled with some Celtic works and an occasional pinup or two and quite a few special requests. I have long been a writer, though a terrible speller, and so most of my images come with a storyline or poem. No image seems complete to me without words to accompany them.In high school I trained in both the Sciences and Fine Arts but when I went to university I had to choose one or the other and so I went with the life sciences. Art dropped out of my life for a long time... though I never gave up my interest in archeology and mythology. I wound up with a graduate degree in the life sciences with majors in physical geography, ecology and evolutionary biology. My love of nature and a deep naturalistic spirituality eventually led me to the wikkan tradition.Some five and a half years ago I discovered poser after coming across some great 3-d art on the web and after some six months of stumble bum practice I joined this site.Doing this type of art has released many visions and stories that were locked up inside my soul for many ages. It has allowed me to explore the life and times of my primal spiritual ancestor, a girl also named Roxanne, who lived in the Sumerian regions. She whispers the stories of these classic legends in my mind and I create the images to go with them.My stories are mostly written as dialogue and they tend to be rather long. So grab a coffee, a tea or better yet a beer, kick back, relax and stay a while.I hope you enjoy your stay here.Hugs and blessed beRoxy

Both elf and dark fae were then utterly spent both having fought the magical fight of their lives. Onna had just enough energy left to maintain her shield. For her part Anna was stunned at Onna’s power. She needed to stop and think. This wasn’t working. She was going to need help if she was going to beat this dark fae. How was she going to get help way out here in the wilderness? Previous Delphinium

Roxie, you did a superb job on the scene here as it perfectly depicts their epic struggle. Brilliant work as always on the story, it was told in a way to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!! So good to see Anna again! And now that I know what it takes, just sit tight, Roxy, while I summon up a little more of my 'nudge' magick! LOL! Because now, I'm dying to see the conclusion, and how Onna finally gets her butt kicked! A fantastic work of art, Roxy, and yes, DO see this at full size! The poses and expressions are perfect, and the SFX are worthy of the best of ILM or Weta. Spectacular, my dear friend! This rocks! Thank you for this off-the-scale dedication! sits down, and conjurs up his best nudge magick :-D

Holy Crap--Onna did not know who she was messing with and now the diva is getting what for! And poor George -- what did Onna have against cute dragons? She was always messing with him! Bravo! Anna quickly showed her what was what--her shrewd maneuvering and observations may have bested the "rhymes with witch" yet--lol... The render is excellent. I blew it to see the textures and love how carefully placed and detailed the FX are, I mean, they look as if they are actually emitting from their perceived source. You must have blown the scene up to 3,000 resolution and focused on this aspect. Altogether fantastic render scene and action!

Awww, poor little George. Let's hope Anna figures out how to crack Oona's shield. I'm surprised Oona's own bolt didn't backfire on her seriously. This is a great image, Roxy. Lots going on and excellently done! The effects are super-cool. Enjoyed the story as well! Well written, and glad you decided to pick up on it for a bit. I know how that goes though ;)

Spectacular image and wonderful story writing, Roxy. Love the expressions and the FX. Thanks for this - so glad you didn't abandon this story. Hope you find time to continue at some point. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders at poor little George's fate, and wants Onna to get hers.

Excellent and dynamic image. It's just glowing with magic. Really nice work on the effects. Nice narrative too, especially 'bitch witch' LOL. I think Onna is truly trapped now. Great chapter and nice to see a return to the story.
