Hi there! My name is Victoria, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California (but live elsewhere now). I first became interested in computer graphics some time circa 1995 when my dad gave me this CD package of some new, up-and-coming computer software at the time which included Aldus Photostyler and KAI PowerTools. I went home that day and created some silly little piece and after that I was totally hooked. A few years later a friend introduced me to Photoshop, and it was love at first sight. Since then I have been teaching myself all things Photoshop. About two years ago I came across an ad in a magazine for DAZ Studio. I had always been a little intimidated by 3D graphics, thinking it was way too hard to do, but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Now I'm equally obsessed (if not more so) with all things 3D as well.Â
My art is a mixture of DAZ Studio, Poser, Photoshop CS5 and Filter Forge. My other tools of the trade include Hexagon, Silo, ZBrush and Vue, and I also do black & white digital photography and photo restoration on the side. I am a huge fan of classic artists like Salvador Dali, Calder and Leonardo da Vinci, but am also strongly influenced and inspired by the works of contemporaries like Jack Pedota, David Ho, Luis Royo, Olivia and many of my fellow Renderosity artists who continue to inspire me on a daily basis.
I have several college degrees including a BA in English Writing, a BA in Anthropology, and an MS in Evolutionary Ecology (a subdiscipline of Anthropology).I think my ultimate goal with my graphics - what I really hope to get out of all of this - is to create something truly beautiful one day that either someone will deeply appreciate in their heart or that will inspire someone to create something beautiful. Thanks for stopping by . . . and happy rendering!V.

Great showcase for this truly lovely character. If it were my creation I would pat you on the back. Of course if it were my creation I would be wondering where the talent came from and why God never showed it to me before now.

Oh, Victoria, thank you so much, my friend! Such a beautiful escort into the next life - I know Mom will be in good hands, now. This is really touching and is appreciated so much! A beautiful work of art with Petra's new lady - I'm definitely going to have to add her to my runtimes. Thank you so much, my dear friend! :-D

She looks displeased... she's probably thinking: "Why did I buy the "tour boat" off of efron_241???... I mean, let's be for real, I'm not going to take anyone on a tour and this boat will take forever to get to where I'm going! Damn it! I should of bought a motor boat" LOL

How very thoughtful of you to create such a perfect classical, mythological image for dear Rod. I could never get Flinks water to work so well as you have done here.

She looks more lovely than Charon. Nice effects with the fog and the light in the sky, which give the sensation to go to an unknown destination. Anice dedi for your friends.
