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.

She's doing the whole, "Ok, I'll let you smell me before I give the pets" thing.

dakotajaroo
very beautiful rendering, poetic and dangerous for the little fairy
LyleAryn
Mhmm. But, perhaps, the T-Rex was a gentle giant. We'll never really know.

Brilliant perspective! Well done!
LyleAryn
Thank you! It's not easy capturing the scale. I'm glad you like it.

Often the opposites come together, this is the case on this delicious image, the infinitely small and the infinitely large, beautiful work !!
LyleAryn
Thank you! I think they'll be good friends.

Very good idea...
LyleAryn
Thanks! One idea seemed to spark another, and then another. It's a nice little change of pace, while working on a rather complicated set of shots for the comic.

Such beautiful work on this fantasy scene! I like your depiction of these two polar opposite figures! Excellent and well done! :-)
LyleAryn
Thank you. I'm glad the bump map on the Rex was agreeable. It took a little fiddling, but I think I got the pose looking pretty nice, and it looks like she's got her hand on the big guy. A small detail, but those are often the ones I'm most proud of.

She better hope that Rex doesn't have any allergies...

Just making a beautiful friendship... or a small snack!
LyleAryn
I think I'll be following Faemike's suggestion for a follow-up.
