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

Love this one, Roxy! Talk about leading lines.... This just pulls you right into the image and invites you to stay a while and explore. Excellent choice for B&W.

my cousin lived right near this amazing bridge down Saint Katerine's way and this brings back fond memories of my time there..... choosing mono/sepia for this image is spot on....your eye then enjoys the forms and lines as opposed to the colours....nicely done

This is very nice,Roxy. If the "Gerkin"and other modern buildings this picture could be ageless! Clever!

This is wonderful...

Gorgeous picture with an alluring POV. Reminds me of a vintage photo or postcard. The choice of B&W was a sound one, for it reinforces the sense of continuity, of "oneness", of the landscape and landmarks. Makes one want to have a large on to hang on the living room wall.

Another reason to book a flight--an amazing view of a world famous Thames river and skyline...I imagine the place has a vibrant modern yet somehow mixed old world feel--woudl love to get a whiff of that! Amazing shot and post treatment
