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

I gave up making New Years resolutions a looooooong time ago. Doesn't go well with the 'live in the here/now' philosophy either. Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing your versions Roxy :) Great compo and render on this. It is easier said than done!

My exercise consists of running around in circles, jumping to conclusions, stabbing people in the back. I ain't giving those up!!!!! Great render Happy Holidaze

So is that you Roxy? Is Janessa standing in for you? LOL Many years ago I made a New Year's resolution that I've been able to keep every single year, without fail, never have missed a year yet. And what was that New Year's resolution I hear you asking yourself… Just this: I will not be making any silly New Year's resolutions that will last for approximately 3 days! Now that we've got that out of the way, you've created in another delightful and detailed work of art my friend! I can't wait to see your other resolutions!

Oh broke that one already ,just thinking about it I'm out of breathe. I exercise my mind alot. I see your having a brew or two while checking out the Rendo gallery. Love that you have Trina helping out. Cool reflection of your workspace with the Mirror on the backwall. So much detail in this image. Wow if this was the tame one, I can hardly wait to see what the rest of your broken resolutions will be.

I break that one every day of the year Roxy... cool work!
legolie
lol, I really like the idea and I think a lot of us will recognize here ;-) I used to make good resolutions every year !! But as I never follow them, last year, I decided to make none ! And that one (doing more exercise) of course was one of the good resolutions ;-) I like what you have done here, there are lot of details with the books on the floor, the cat on the desk, the plant ... a well done scene and it looks so realistic :-)

I give them up for Lent.

I like this scene very much. The reflections on the glass wall and on the desk are great and I love all the details you put into this image that make it look very realistic. I also like your idea of this series, I can't wait to see the next one.

You caught me! I could plop my Grandma Character into that chair and feel right at home. My husband swears my backside is growing roots to this seat. I love the detail in this image. Excellent composition!!

Gorgeous and Beautiful work!! Roxy-sensei

Hah! The feared resolution! Well this particular one I'm planning on keeping. I just rejoined a gym that I had dropped for a year and half. I'd gone many years without any serious exercise so I joined a gym a few years back. I was there about a year and my health ins went up $100, so I could not afford a membership. How's that for irony. A year later I was able to work out a deal and just started going back. So I have every good intention of keeping this one :) Yes. Every good intention. Fer sure. I hope.

pixeluna
A fantastic idea about new year's resolution. Love the scene, and the books that were not properly stacked on the floor. I always like the room clean and tried to get over this cleaning OCD. Oh, how I envy her, if I could stand not having those books arranged, maybe we could switch places LOL.
