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 great final page, my friend! It's always a good feeling to get a wrap on a chapter or book. Then on to the next one.
I've also been giving some thought to reformatting TNA for a PDF format. I'd like to go back and change a few things in earlier chapters.

I've always been more of an editor. Moving forward, I may go back and change a few little things. Mostly text. I have almost ALL the pages saved as workable files. There are a couple I missed early on, though I still have all the base images to work from if I need to.
I've got an idea for the opening to issue two. Something kinda Jack Kirby style. But before I start on that, I'm trying to get some other stuff off my plate. We'll see what happens.
Also, sorry I'm not commenting much. It got into a habit, which isn't bad, but currently I don't even have time for myself. I've been playing Minecraft just because it's easy to interrupt. Not sure if going back to posting comments full-time is in my future. I scroll my feed, but that's about it.
Thanks for the support my friend. I mention TNA every time webcomics come up in conversation. Which is more than you might think!
