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.

Just a really cute portrait--she would be easy to understimate!
LyleAryn
Thanks! And yeah. I've underestimated the task of getting this fight done. Usually I'm working one page at a time, but this time I've got to actually map out the whole thing, and it's taking longer than expected. However, anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

Thank you. I really do like it. It bothers me I haven't got any pages done recently. Hard to keep going through a depressive block, ain't it?

Nice! She's a fine looking character, and this is a cracking portrait.
LyleAryn
Thank you. She really is, isn't she? I'm hoping to get this layout done in the next couple days. I think I'm going to end up with some wasted panels though, while I'm figuring it all out.

She looks really great! I'm sure she's going to give someone a few things to think about!
Really lovely!

She has a way of making her point. She's quite skilled at cutting to the heart of the issue.
