I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!

First, as you mentioned your M.O.M., again tons of kudos, you deserved that award as much as anyone has. It was great to see you get the sunlight from this site. They picked the right guy, on all accounts!
Tina 3 aside for a moment, I love those cars. They're almost cartoon-like, but they're real. And the light on them is wonderful (incl reflections), and they give so much color and lift to that old and shadowed street. (You have a very cloudy sky, so the scene has a slightly ominous feeling to it; and the cars really give zing to it.) As for Tina, a great job with her, her side pose and dress are perfect, she balances out all that traffic all by herself, and fine light and glance over at us. More 1st rate model work. It's cool to see a "Stamps" concession (you don't see a lotta places that sell stamps anymore); and the city, if this were night, would make a great film noir scene. Even Tina's shoes match her dress (not literally---not the same patterns---but in their hue and black trim). And she's pretty forward going out in a dress that high! When I was in college, women wore dresses like that (we were hippies), and it got into the 'mod' styles of the day. I don't know anything about rendering, but I'm glad it rendered so fast for you; and when you described setting this up, you used photographic terms: I didn't know they applied to 3D. Another expertly done model piece from you. (Lotta tina's! Isn't there some statute or something---you can only have so many tina's in one saga? like, over 4 and you have to pay a fine? I'm just asking...)
