Clothing - Flying Cadet Lola Pepper by Val3dArt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am a retail store manager and love to play with my graphics as a great stress reliever. I have purchased THOUSANDS of models since I began this hobby, almost 15 years ago now, and I really enjoy playing around with the older ones I've never gotten around to working with. I have had a heavy creative block for the last several years, so I haven't really designed any full works, but I've been playing around with simple character renders and post working in the hopes of breaking through the block. I was a professional photographer for several years, though I haven't picked up my camera in ages. I've never been able to hand draw or paint to save my life, but I really enjoy being able to create characters and then turning them into all kinds of digital designs. Through the years I've used my purchased 3d models to make characters and full scenes. I've had mastering my own 3d models on my to-do list for quite some time, but with my busy schedule I haven't made the time to do it. For now I enjoy supporting the work of some extremely talented 3d modeling artists by purchasing their beautiful work. I do make many of the outfits, outfit textures, skin textures, and character faces and bodies myself. I love taking little pieces of scrap graphics and turning them into something.
