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

This is really lovely, both in spirit and in artistry. I really like the positioning of the raven, and your symbolism is truly striking. Thank you for sharing the meaning of so many of these elements. The richness of the colours and textures of the foreground is even more dramatic when contrasted with what appears to be a desolate background, and that your raven is flying away from that desolate space deeper into the vibrant foreground has its own layers of meaning I think. Well done and a truly outstanding dedication piece. Health and healing to you all.

Fabulous image! Great character and the setting is a real eye-catcher!

This is amazing work and incredibly touching as it's also a superb memorial dedication. I love the autumnal colors and the obvious inclusion of symbols that aren't as obvious as one may think. They're there, but not everyone sees them immediately, or even knows what to look for. For me, that is always a great way to add depth to something. One doesn't need to know everything or recognize everything in an image. One simply has to recognize that there are things at play that are more behind the scenes, and that's what I get in looking at this, without ever having to read the well-written introduction/dedication. This is a moving, and beautiful piece of work.
