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.

Looks good to me. I actually never had a problem with the lighting in the previous pages, though.

Thanks again for all your kind comments. I was told they came out very dark on Macs, but since I don't have one I couldn't see for myself.

This looks good, but your pictures didn't appear too dark to me before.

Thanks again for all your kind comments! I have to admit that I saw details in the setting which I hadn't before, including how abruptly the stone arch met the ground, so I tried to mask it with some foliage. But I'd love to hear from a Mac user.

You're lighting has always looked good to me, and this one is no exception.

Thanks again for all your kind comments! I'd really like to hear from a Mac user to see if they notice any improvement.

Nice work, zaq.. maybe a change to the lighting colour. The skin tones might work better with a slightly yellowish light? Good pose and a great scene.. nice post for the magic :)

Thanks for the kind comment! I agree... I'll add a yellow tint to the overhead lights to give it a more sun-like quality.

your lighting has never been an issue!

Thank you for your kind comment! My understanding is Mac users found it too dark to see well, but not having a Mac myself I couldn't tell so I did my best to brighten the lighting without losing the integrity of the setting. If you use a Mac, or know anyone who does, I'd love to hear if I succeeded.

Thank you for the feedback... I've actually moved on to a different series. What can I say... I have the attention span of a gnat!
