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.

I really like her standing in the shadow!
LyleAryn
Oh, yes. Dark skin tone, dark outfit, and I think I actually got her to POP in a shadowed backdrop! I'm pretty happy.

Cool assassin hiding in the Shadows.
LyleAryn
Yes. She tries to solve problems with her sword, before she gets her powers involved. She'll be pretty power-shy at first.

LyleAryn
Thank you! I like it a lot, too. And I don't often say that about my own stuff.

This has to be one of your best. I love the posing, the light, and yes, the eyes really stand out. Beautiful!
LyleAryn
Aww. Thank you. I think so, too. LOVE how those eyes just stand out.

And it looks like she's ready to do some slicing and dicing.
LyleAryn
Yes. And if that don't work out, she's also filled with cosmic power. Which I think might travel along her sword. Hmmm. Might have to figure out a render for that.
