I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

I love that line of girls, all just standing there, but each one with such an individual and interesting pose!

Thanks! I wanted to give each one a little individuality since they're all wearing their "official" uniforms... 😄

well Rod, I'm way behind; and though I can't catch up with everything yet, I wanted to comment on your newest TNA installment, so here I am. (I haven't been sick this long in years! I've just been done in...I shouldn't have gotten the booster when I did, but I wanted to get it over with.)
That top shot is a biggie...I love the broad view and the sweep of all those veticals---the triangular shape of the ship-top parallels the patterns of the masts on the right. And you gave us water in front, with reflections; as well as seeing it all through a mesh fence. And those blue coastal huts, and so on: a terrific, complex opening 'shot'. The second frame is equally engaging---love all the lines and light vs dark hues, and the reflections, etc. These are two terrific 'entry' images. Then, the 3 women are placed to emphasize the flow of the space; and of course you have your usual mastery of pose, classiness, costume, light, etc. They're all very different from each other, but they're clearly a team. A very smart frame. (I keep wanting to call them "shots". I mean that's what they are, in a way.)
The next frame is really a group frame---and you get such different expressions in the women in blue. Every kind of clapping, and even looking like they're taking a picture. Then, the women in the screens above add more rhythm. Annette is in black, so stands out. Really effective frame. (Even the chair wheels are in sync with all the women's feet; w/ a great array of shoes too.) In 4, you bring everyone close, surrounding Annette, a really smart looking bunch. (The blue outfits are really striking). And the inset with Annette and the badge---with your note about the lack of "TNA" on the badges (for protection, I assume?): This moves from the large shot (3) through to the closer group, to the closeup on Annette. A flowing sequence.
Then you end in a burst of light---I assume we're now facing the right-side wall (which is that bright aqua green hue). It's an after-the ceremony, random gathering of everyone, also very true to life. (Those are some super fitting outfits! These women must work out--a classy bunch!) And your note about the Joisey accent...hey, add a few "aowwwww!"s and "fuggeddabbouddit"s, and you got yerself hardcore jersey s__t here, dude! (Tony Soprano would approve.) This is a terrific page: You manage these packed scenes with real ease, they're all so natural and relaxed. Also, it's an installment without conflict, which is a nice rest for your audience as you prepare for more drama in the future. (And considering the life and death drama of what came before.) Beautifully done as always, with fine, fine visual work. And Rod (in response to one of your replies in my dedi): You take 2d place to no one, friend. I'm talkin' no one. First rate job on this, and I wish you a fine week ahead. I'll be back for more soon...

I'd give Annette a box of Ferrero Rocher just to say 'congrats'. But then again... I do feel a bit uneasy with dangerous gals (even if they're good gals)...
RodS
They do make life interesting.... LOL Just wait... wink, wink....
Thanks so much for all the comments, my friend! Wow!! 😁
