I'm just your boring average ex-account who wasted a lot of his youth playing fantasy RPGs (Role-Playing Games), specifically Dungeons & Dragons and Stormbringer/Elric, originally for outside Philadelphia PA who turned to computer graphics as an artistic outlet. I spent 30 years from the mid 80's to late 2012 living in Palm Beach County FL (North Palm Beach to be specific), working for not-for-profits in the social service and health care arena, but suffered a health crisis due to undiagnosed diabetes which had me in the hospital for 5 months, cost me part of my left foot, and has taken several years to recover from. I now live in Milford DE to be near family. My diabetes has left me with advanced renal disease, forced me to start dialysis, which I can fortunately do at home, but has me locked up for an hour four times a day (which allows me plenty of time to keep up on my gallery comments), but I still have a fair amount of independence and my health issues aren't nearly as bad or inconvenient as many others are. Most of my work is inspired by those fantasy RPG campaigns I wasted a lot of my youth on. I tend to post series of images with rather lengthy narratives that add up to short stories, or chapters in on-going tales. Thank you for your interest and attention!
Update:
Due to a very seriously broken ankle and shin I've been stuck in a wheelchair for over a year with an external fixator on my right leg, but I'm still managing to get by on my own.

Please be kind about her pose... I have no idea how to play a musical instrument and struggled to just get her hands anywhere close to where they looked right while working around the rather odd shape of the lute.

Your pose seems fine to me. (another non-musician) It's less stiff than my last lute pose. I think I grabbed a guitar pose for it and tried to adjust it. Yours seems more natural. Great image and story

Thanks for your very kind comment! I think this actually started out as a combat pose but got VERY highly modified... I'm glad it looks at least reasonable acceptable.

Nothing wrong with the hand posing. Her stance is good as well. I looked at different images of guitar players, and it all works.

Thanks for your kind comment! The hardest part was accommodating the awkward pear shaped back of the lute, which meant making her arm reach farther out in front than with a guitar.

A beautifully designed scene.

Your red-haired gal looks great and her hand pose is good. I think Mykal will have his hands quite full with these two gals, LOL.
zaqxsw
Thanks for your kind comments! Like I said... Every guy's greatest fear... The ex showing up while you're out with your new gal! The only thing scarier, is if they become friends!

Her hands look pretty darn good to me, my friend - along with the rest of her... Looks like this could be an epic journey.. Two's company... Three's a party! Woo-hoo!

Thanks for all your kind comments! Who says there's a threesome here... It may just be two, but which two?

Got to loosen the collar... things are getting steamy :) ! The pose looks good. I too am not sure about the actual intricate pose that will be accurate but this to me looks pretty good. And I can see why Myst is feeling jealous. Keya is really beautiful !

Thanks again for all your kind comments! I've never even held a guitar, no less a lute, so I was really working blind here, and the big plum shaped back really made it awkward. Things could go either really good or really bad for Mykal... he could end up with two hot chicks or left behind!

You did just fine with the pose, nothing struck me as off so whatever you did it worked lol!
zaqxsw
Thanks again for all your kind comments! I can certainly understand why no one plays the lute anymore... It is a really awkward shape!

Things are heating up, but in a good way I think! I love it when some good times are about to happen, but I'm always keeping an eye out for the danger just around the corner! Great page!
