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.

a dynamite image for our dear friend Ute.
LyleAryn
Indeed. She's a doll, for sure.

Fantastic dedication to an awesome artist! My compliments to creating an image with both a Lion an another person in the room! It doesn't always turn out well! The Lion is giving her the look...what could that mean? I hope he is not getting hungry!...my best advice would be for her to start playing that musical instrument (harp) to him and hope it will then put him to sleep once he hears the sweet melody emanating from it! Excellent work and so well done! :-)
LyleAryn
Yes, it might just be about time for the nightly harp playing. He's well-fed and likes to snuggle. (Wish we could all say the same.)
Thanks for the feedback. It was made with love, and I just hope that shines through.
RodS
This is really wonderful and a lovely dedication for dear Ute! It made me think of Aslan from the Narnia stories. Very well done!
LyleAryn
Thanks! Once I realized I was making it for her, it all just fell into place.
hashdoc
wow, what a pet!
LyleAryn
Wouldn't it be just fantastic?
darkrepast
What is even happening here?? I love it! My cat pretty much has that lion's general demeanor. Thank God, he's not as heavy.
This is super fun!
LyleAryn
Thank you. Some pure fantasy of better days, and still hope for a future where everyone can be in harmony.
