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.

Fantastic picture! I wish I could help you, but unfortunatly I'm not much of a computer geek.
LyleAryn
It's ok. I got a work around, but it's a pain in the neck. I hope it will eventually sort itself out. Daz does that.

Great fantasy characters and scene; I like the filter postwork! Can't help with Daz - I've tried it many times but cannot get my head round it.
LyleAryn
Thanks! It was done with a combination of things, and the end result I just like. It's a bit abstract.

Great work - love the dino rider idea.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I hope to lock down some time next week to take a friend up on an offer to learn Blender. Then, hopefully, should see further dino riders in the future.

What a wonderful, noble steed she has here! I love this - really fun and well done, my friend!
Part of the reason I've not been busting my behind to try and get DS going again on the machine I bought specifically for DAZ. It has an RTX2080ti 11G card and (when DAZ condescends to actually work for me) it absolutely smokes iRay renders. It worked beautifully for a while until DAZ started the 'postgreSQL' nonsense, and hasn't worked since. I really need to take a couple days and fight with it, because I really loved the quality of the renders. Just have too many irons in the fire at the moment... Maybe soon..

I'm hoping the next major update to Daz comes with a massive DB system overhaul. They could fix a lot of problems if they put some serious effort into fixing up the database system. I get the need to "secure" the assets, but judging from the numerous sites offering free downloads of paid-for merchandise, I'd say it wasn't working anyway.
And, they need an uninstall system that at least gives the option to purge all settings.
But yeah. I'm watching the markets, waiting for the prices to drop again. And avoiding scalpers like the plague!

Very creative and the filter style is a lovely accent. Really well done.

Now we're talking! Who on earth doesn't like dinosaurs?
