Hmmmm, so you might be wondering just who ol' toady is and maybe even how he came to have such a terrible username. Easy things first, I guess. A long time ago in a land far away (Nv.) I was stuck for a name to sign up with at an old 'The Sims 1' website so I let their random name generator pop one out and lo, there was toad. I've used it ever since simply because I never have to try and come up with another... it's always available for some strange reason.
IĂ‚Â played TS1 and then 'The Sims 2' for a number of years withĂ‚Â also actually trying my hand at creating things for it the last couple of yearsĂ‚Â that IĂ‚Â was involved. In the end (to me) the community was getting rapidly disgusting. Backbiting and fighting all over the place and around the end of 2008Ă‚Â IĂ‚Â decided IĂ‚Â pretty much didn't want anymore to do with it as a whole.Ă‚Â
It was also at that time that I finally got off of my dead ass and grabbed a copy of Daz Studio. I have been a member here longer than my join date alludes to, actually going back a few years prior to the '04 that is listed. I've always been fascinated by the creativity that was here at the site and frequently amazed by what I saw people doing in Poser and other 3D programs.
I learned at an early age that "real art" was something beyond my scope of talents that were bestowed upon me. Oh, I drew prodigiously as a youngster but never seemed to be able to satisfy my over critical self exams. My Mom on the other hand thought enough of them though to actually enroll me in an art class when I was still quite young, something I stuck with for awhile and then continued into both Jr. and Sr. High School. She also (I was surprised to find out here these last few years) actually thought enough about them to have saved a number of them away, something I personally never did with anything I'd ever created. Nope, not a one.
Classically anal is probably the best way to describe me, IĂ‚Â always thinkĂ‚Â thatĂ‚Â I could've done something better, that only ifĂ‚Â I'dĂ‚Â done something just a little different it may've pushed my last work just a notch further up to whereĂ‚Â I would really like to see it.Ă‚Â
Anyhoo, enough about me. I will continue to plug away at this very enjoyable and relaxing medium. I've lots to learn and I'm attempting to try something new or a little different everytime I open D/S and/or my editing programs. Hopefully every once in a while I can create something that you enjoy...

With boots like those, them tiny fairy wings won't get her off the ground. Guess those boots were made for walking. ^_^ Nice picture.

She deserves better than to be treated poorly. A true heart. Nice of you to dedicate to her. ")

STUNNING image here, Don, WOW! A great sentiment too. :) LOL, you think you've seen it all and then... nope. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of energy people waste specifically to trash someone else. If I really hated someone or their art that much, I simply ignore them and move on. It speaks much more to the pathetic nature of those seeking this kind of outlet than it does the targets of their little rages. All they succeed in doing, truly, is making themselves the object of mockery. Beautiful, beautiful work here! THIS is going to my favourites. :)

Really beautiful image. The night lighting and of course the lovely fae are superb. The lighting and fog effects came out nice and I really like those trees and tree textures. Beautiful render and nice dedi to the very kind Adrie.

..And they look mighty good in them, too! At least this one does... A delightful and fun - and superbly done - dedication for Adrie! Much applause! She's such a sweet and gentle lady; I can't imagine what kind of low-life would want to be hurtful to her.

yeah we got to keep this place clean.something else is worrying me this morning i saw the lowest amount of artists online since i joined in 2008- around 880. this looks to me like an exodus,recently lots of decline in comments and favs,its sometimes like a graveyard,i remember times when i uploaded an image i had 5 comments in the first ten minutes,people jumped on my gallerie like vultures muahahahah.now sometimes ya wait a couple of hours before the first comment comes. i think a lot of things come together. economically lots of peole cant afford a fast internet connection,let alone buy stuff for their 3d application. maybe also the renderosity site changes chased a few artists away. and as we see some of us go home (see rodolfo criminelli passed away RIP Bro). i will stick around as long as i can breathe. very nice work by the way and great idea to use the bootleggerz.
