I am the author Lyle Aryn. Writing is my first love, my one true passion. Every since I was able to string a sentence together, it's all I've wanted to do. Websites where you can find my work and more are below.
I started using Daz Studio October 23rd of 2018, just as something to dink around with. I'd been signed up with the sight for a while, and would occasionally remember to check for freebies. I was surprised at what I had when I finally loaded up the program. I just started playing around with it, figuring it out. I'd say about 92% of what I've learned in the program I've learned just by playing around with it.
In December I went from being a dutiful son looking after his mom, to the full-time, no nights or weekends off, caretaker of my Mom. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder or two, this change has had a drastic impact on my own personal care and well-being. I turned to my blossoming love of doing digital art as a way to cope with the mountains of stress on my shoulders. I do miniature painting, too. But when you haven't slept in 4 days, handling a brush can be very messy. Not being able to paint to my own personal satisfaction was making this avenue of relaxation increasingly frustrating.
Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.
As my skill with the program grows, so does my confidence. I did the cover to my fifth novel, "Because the Night" using Daz Studio, as well as new covers for two previous releases. (Though they haven't been updated just yet.)
I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different.

great work lylearyn ... hope he only wants to buy some cigaretts 😂
LyleAryn
Lol. Thanks. He's the manager. I spent a lot of time looking for name badges, but it looks like something I'm going to have to make and/or coerce my blender buddy into making. Thanks for your feedback!
A_Sunbeam
Yes - this bloke is a much better choice - and the lighting improves the scene immensely.
My wife uses a Christmus mug all year round and I have one, some 30 years old, which says "leave me alone, go bother your own secretary" ...
LyleAryn
Lol! My dad favored a cup with a rainbow on it.
Imagine: A tough mustached goateed manly man, 40 years a welder, drinking his coffee from a rainbow mug.
When you got a favorite, you got a favorite!
Nightwind
He looks more on par with Lola so makes for a better balanced scene. :)
LyleAryn
Thank you. I agree. That hair! At first glance it looks like it doesn't have a lot of texture to it, but its just so blonde! Lol.
chasfh
Better in all respects, to be honest, and that's a fine head o' hair he's got going on there! Homer Simpson- Max Power fine!
Lighting works really well. I've been working mostly with scene lighting for some time, more challenging to set up but the results are better I think.
A fine piece of work my friend!
LyleAryn
Indeed! I'm pretty sure the rest of the store would be a little dark, but... It looks good here. I try to be a mininalist. In the past I'd have these complicsted rigs with 10-15 light sources... What a mess!

Excellent !
Beautiful Render.
LyleAryn

Thank you, bucy!

Your newest graphic looks very beautiful and well done dear Lyle! I wish you a great new week! 🌺
LyleAryn
Thanks. It's been an interesting project, and very rewarding. I'm still unsure of the viability of an illustrated novel, but I'm having fun doing the illustrations.
daggerwilldo
Ohhh yeah .... much better indeed. Now this couple match well in geometry and texture. 100% improvement. Well done. Nevertheless, you are to be commended for playing out on the edges. Well done.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!
jmattatall
Great sense of movement, i know what you mean about light sources, i generally only use 1 or 2 sometimes 3
LyleAryn
Thanks!
Radar_rad-dude
Oh no! Now you are giving me a very serious complex! I may have to quit posting here altogether with my beyond belief ancient characters. Lordy! Lordy! Lordy!!!!!
LyleAryn
LMAO!
You KNOW I render V4s, too, mi amigo.
Saby55
The lighting you created in this scene is arguably better than the first job.Great job my friend 👍🙋♂️
LyleAryn
Thanks! Why hide in shadow what can be brought to the light!
Artienne
The new character is very handsome. It's very good that you have changed old one, but she won't even look at him. Fully focused on her work. Very nice lighting!
LyleAryn
Yep! Plus she's thinking about his wife, lol. (She has the hots for her.)
starship64
That does look more like somebody she'd be talking to. Nicely done.
LyleAryn
Huzzah! Improvement. Thanks!
Kordouane
It's much better this way, bravo
LyleAryn
Thanks, Kord. Hope you are well.
miwi
Excellent scene,klasse image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LyleAryn
Thanks miwi!
dragongirl
A great image for an ordinary moment and place. The cup is the perfect casual touch (and oddball color 😀).
LyleAryn
Thank you. I really enjoy doing slice-of-life stuff. Even though they can end up being the most complicated sometimes!
ikke.evc
Better.
LyleAryn
Thanks!
anitalee
Excellent
LyleAryn
Thank you, Anita.
RodS
Yeah, I think this one nails it, my friend! He looks a lot more natural, and a great addition to the scene. It may just be my monitor, but the top light seems a teeny bit strong. Maybe dial it back a little bit? Just a thought..
My favorite mug is the one with -you guessed it - the TNA Girls on it! LOL
LyleAryn
I was thinking about how they like to put these too-bright florescent in convenience stores. It also makes his hair seem to glow, which I felt reinforced his "good guy" vibes. idunno.
My favorite mug has a grumpy face on it.
Thanks for the feedback!
STEVIEUKWONDER
I'm too busy looking at the EPoS cash register you have placed on the counter. That is what I do for a living! Excellent Scene!
LyleAryn
Thanks!
