BIO I'm an illustrator, and for the last 15 years I have been doing almost exclusively digital work--mostly covers for e-books and small presses; fantasy, SF and Paranormal Romance covers are my specialty. I use Poser, Photoshop and Painter, and a nifty little paint program called ArtRage. I have been lucky enough to have work shown on the BBC's The Sky at Night, done promotional artwork for the Hugos, and have digital art tutorials published in Michael Burn's Femme Digitale and Digital SciFi Art (Watson-Guptill 2004) as well as DVD covers, cd covers and e-book covers, most recently for Liquid Silver Books, Edge/Tesseract and Dragon Moon Press. I'm also a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. . When I have time, I do acrylic paintings for fun.
Commissions: I do 3d texturing and backgrounds now rather than book covers, and I do appreciate a good UV template to work on. Thanks for checking out my bio!

she is gorgeous but looks sad or depressed. maybe her friend was a no show
lwperkins
Tired from swimming all day and ready to go home and rinse off the sand :D But still a little sad to leave the beach! Thank you, Richard!

That is such a pretty texture for a swimsuit. But she looks like she has had enough of lugging that inflatable around!
lwperkins
It's even bigger --I had to scale it down :D Big enough for a couch at home! And thank you!

Outstanding gorgeous composition, superb atmosphere and lighting, brilliant awesome render. I somehow knew it matters the painter, not the colours brand.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
lwperkins
Thank you for making the lovely suit! It was a joy to work with!

Pretty swimsuit and girl! Excellent outdoor lighting, too. Very well done!
lwperkins
Thank you! I find Daz lighting hard, I had to rotate the dome quite a bit to get the right angle. I love the Sun/Sky option for light but it is a lot of guesswork and it seems to shut out all scene lighting, so you can't add fill lights.

Way to go doing a mash up of content to produce a very believable scene! As a Poser girl I'm always a bit jealous of all the new content available for DAZ Studio. =) The pose and adding the big floaty for her to carry really sell the picture as being of a real person. Thank you for sharing!

There is SO MUCH great older content for Poser though, in Renderosity's back catalog, plus places like ShareCG and a bunch of other free sites; Im always in Daz thinking-- I need to import stuff from poser because I KNOW I have a beach bag somewhere in the Poser hoard. :D And I have years of stuff on disk in a huge box that I should go through :D And thank you so much!

Looking great here, Lynn! I wouldn't mind finding a nice, warm beach - far far away from everything. A big bonus if she's there! LOL
lwperkins
Away from snow--though it's been beautiful and sunny here, if cold with snow :D I do miss the beach, being here in the middle of the country! Thank you too!
