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

!!!!!!! What Mike said... Me too. This is beyond words, Roxy - you are indeed blessed to have the opportunity to experience this first-hand! And what a tour you're giving the rest of us! Truly magnificent! It's a real shame they felt they had to 'modernize' the look - it should be restored and maintained, but not 'redecorated' with a modern look. Looking forward to your next one!

Wow! This makes fantasy architecture images look mundane. What a spectacular vista and excellent photo. The enhancements really bring out details. What a beautiful place. It's ashame that some are so unsympathetic to history. I would think this would be made ah historical preserved site. At least they stopped. I can imagine some contruction for safety's sake, if needed, but it would be good to keep the style of the original architecture. This is a great series for cultural sharing.

amazing place and photo

excellent image, the pov is very successful, as it provides a comprehensive view of the place. I agree with you about color. Here in my country a priest decided to restore a colonial church, and replaced the carved wooden beams with Styrofoam panels. I would die with laughter, if it was not to mourn

Excellent shot! I must admit I would be nervous there because I have seen so much falling rock in the Canadian Rockies.

Awesome capture Roxy!!! It looks like a scene from a movie, I love how the roofs on the right stack and the way the rock form an arch to shelter the buildings – amazing place. I agree with you I think the colors are phenomenal - if the image is not HDR you must have had great lighting that day! Not sure about a stay overnight - I think the place would get a little eerie at night after all the tourists were all gone! Agree with Mike!!!
