Hi. My real name is Gary and I live in the state of Ohio about 20 miles due north of Cincinnati. My professional background is in mechanical engineering. I studied at the University of Cincinnati. The first half of my career was spent on the drawing board and the second half at a Unigraphics workstation.
But, I have always dabbled in art. I started using Poser when it was first introduced. And, I also started using PhotoShop with version 2.5, in the early 90's.
When I had my home based Product Design & Illustration business, I very often super imposed Victoria 2 into my product renderings just for a human size reference. Poser has really come a long, long way, since those early days. The product content at Renderosity, DAZ, Content Paradise, YURdigital and RDNA is just amazing. The vendors at these sites are incredible.
I really like working in 3D space. That's why I also have Bryce, Carrara and Rhino 3D in my toolbox, as well.
The profile picture is from my pre-UC days. I'm the one with the Rickenbacker.
Well, that's me in a nutshell. See ya!

This portrait attracted me immediately when I saw your avatar, and I thought, it is you, a certain number of years ago, perhaps? Anyway it looks very fine!

Thank you all very much for the kind comments. That is a picture of me early in my sophomore year in high school. The original had been tucked away in a photo album of my mom's. It had become a little faded, despite being in an album. I wanted to be able to balance the white and black points plus bring back the highlights in the hair (that I used to have!). The OnOne plugins for Photoshop have some excellent filters for doing just that. Because of the fading, the sharpness had suffered a little, too. So, I wanted to add a grainy effect to compensate for that. The end result has kind of a charcoal drawing feel to it. Thanks again for taking a look ! ! !

Those were the days. Looks very good. I also have such an old picture of me. Will I also revise times. Thanks for the suggestion.

You are very close. It was actually late 1963, just a few months before the Beatles invaded North America!
