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

Great image! I'm sorry to hear about your heart, although it's good that the doc says it's not a big worry. I'll keep you in prayer.

Damn, I'm sorry for the trouble you're going through. These days the universe, or whatever Deity, are making decent people suffer a lot, not at all who deserves it! There's definitely a good reason, but it's the first thing I'll want to get explained when II'm passed away. Aside from the outlet for anger, it's important to keep calm when there is any heart trouble. Try to relax and think of the best things that are still there in life anyway. I'm glad your creativity is going well, this is also very important: turning piss off into creativity!

Uh, yeah that stinks for sure. I hope your health improves; take care of yourself as well as you can. Still looking forward to TNA developments.

Fantastic image !!!

Don't be discouraged Mr. Rod! Life is always testing us, but you are strong, everything will be fine with you and your art!

I don't think you have a heart problem, you have heart solutions... but please do take care of yourself, buy a blood pressure monitor for you and wifey, and use it, every day. Don't skip checking your blood pressure. Limit the coffee intake and get at least 6 - 8 hrs of sleep.
Your images are a special gift, every new artwork you create is stunning and amazing and so beautiful!! Really love your work, my friend!
Please take care of yourself, Rod. You are more important than anything else.
RodS
Hey, thanks, Rick! I'm gonna be OK - it takes more than this to put me out of commission! LOL Actually, I just ordered a monitor today, and will pick it up Monday. It'll be good for both of us to keep track. Have a great week, my friend!

I'm sorry to hear about your heart condition, but don't let this get you down. I love this picture. More than that, it could be the main invitation for the public to frequently check up blood pressure and heart rhythm. Great work, and I wish you all the best for the follow-up appointment.

The only alternative is to ignore it and hope it goes away. And that does not end well. Ever. So stay healthy bud.

This is a lovely image, the lighting is very pretty.
Take care of your heart. Hang in there!

I've not been online, but I see everything, and I saw these words about your heart and I wanted to wish you all the best with it, Rod. And I hope it's just as she indicated, not a big worry. I've had irregular heartbeat myself, and luckily it's not been a problem. I hope it's just age and the stresses of your recent life; and I hope you can get rest and relief and healing. I do understand your wanting to scream, "what else do you want from me?" to the sky. Mostly the sky doesn't answer (and sometimes it's better that way, as I think the powers that be have an uwelcome sense of humor...) but you have a right to scream it anyway.
As for the runaround with domains---sounds like you're in red tape hell. The best screwball comedies don't have anything on that. I hope that all clears up for you too! But above that, I wish you the best with your home search: From all I've see, it's a roller coaster, up and down process, and I know it can drive you batty. I hope it breaks-open for you soon, as I know how long you've been working towards it. I wish you all the best in the world.
For me, I had a heart issue too, and heavy lung congestion (for a while I wanted to put a sign on my alveoli, "no vacancy---see across the street"), and, well, just pains, those constant companions of age...I hope to be back this summer and start commenting again (and posting). But for now, your red drenched image shimmers in golds, and it's quite beautiful---which shows that you're still full of inspiration despite all the difficulties of your life now. (Love the light in your image! And the glowing reds and golds, w/ a sunset in the background.) You haven't lost a thing---your creativity is waiting for you whenever you're ready. Take care, and I wish you all the best in everything. May your heart be as radiant and whole as ever...

Hey, Mark! As always, thanks so much for your wonderful comments, buddy! I just ordered a new BP monitor - Jo has an older one, but it doesn't work so well anymore. So a new one will be good for both of us. Our FNP said she wanted to look into the situation well before it became worrisome.
Yeah, I'm pretty much ready to tell GoDaddy to go #### themselves, and just start my website from scratch with my new provider. It's (over)due for a redecorating anyway.. As for the hunt for a place to live.... I'm already pretty damn batty so no problems there! 😂 I so sometimes want to go out and scream / flip off the sky, but yeah, it never answers. I just get funny looks from people driving by.
And again, thanks so much for the encouragement, Mark! "Full of inspiration" is wonderful to hear (read). I've been told a time or three I'm full of something else, so that's refreshing to read! 😆
Now, you take care of yourself as well, buddy. I know you've had your share of challenges. This "golden years" stuff is a bunch of BS.... I want my money back!
Take care, my friend!

What a stunning image, she is lovely the lighting and color are fantastic. Excellent composition.
Do take care of yourself, I try not to worry about the things that don't cause you a lot of pain. May God bless and keep you always, May God bless you with Happiness, Good Health, & Many More Joyful Years.

With your lighting Rod, you smashing this out of the ballpark!. Wow, most impressive all over bro. I hope the very best on your next visit Rod. At our ages we go through this. God bless you brother.
TwiztidKidd
I'm happy for you my friend. I bought my parents a new BP machine from Amazon, one that had very good ratings. And they love it and use it all the time. Depending on the reading you get you decide if you should have coffee 😜 or you have to take one of the pills to drop the pressure. It's a must have. Glad you enjoy it. Hope you got the one that wraps around your arm, not your wrist. Those wrist BPs don't always give an accurate result. LOVE! 💗

Oh, I get that at every doctor's visit. I mostly ignore it... I'm not going to stress over things I can't change.

Oh sweetie, you are in the wars, please stay safe and be well. xxx ❤️❤️❤️

I know I'm overdue for a rec exam. Last time the Dr touched me down there I didn't stop bleeding for a whole 10 years.. Sheesh! You'll be fine. Just remember that at your age.. everything either goes out of control.. yours anyways. Keep smiling Rod!
UteBigSmile
Hi Brother, I totally agree with Sir Wolfenshire, the best thing that you can do is to kleep on smiling!!!! - Your lightening image is for me like a reflection of your own heart! Take care, it could be worser! 😉

Of course, around these cuties, my heart would as well skip once in a while! You are around to many of them
Haven't been here for a long time and haven't posted or commented either...(sorry) This has two reasons: First,: I got a little tired to search the real Render diamonds among all that AI-crap here (though i admit, that AI can do amazing things, but it still isn't my cup of tea). Second: I concentrated more in RC-Flying reccently. Gotta enjoy that hobby as long as possible, before all those rising restrictions make it impossible and that R-ID-Crap from USA (FAA) hit's the European continent (and the same brain farth is dictated by EASA or the local Authorities).
When my wife and I got married, I onetime put my head on her chest and listened to her heart beat. I noticed, that her heart is skipping a beat every now and then, and I got worried. But this is now 35 years ago and she still is buzzing around like crazy and shows no sign of weakness or illness. So I guess your doctor is right, that this is not so dramatic. I once read somewhere, that if your heartbeat get's too regular (I mean really, really in sync) that this would be one of the signs, when you don't have to live very long anymore and you would die pretty soon. I don't know, if that's true, but if so, then you're far from dying still (let's celebrate )
RodS
Ye gads I hope so.... I'm not ready for that other journey for a good, long time! I bought one of those BP monitors - it pumps up the arm-wrap just like they do at the Dr.s office. Sometimes it shows irregularity, and sometimes not. I go to see the Cardiologist Monday, so we'll see what he/she says.
I haven't put my drone in the air for over a year. I need to research all the BS crap the FAA wants me to do.. I don't know, maybe I should go ahead and get my part 107. That way is someone asked me to take some shots of their house going up for sale (commercial use) I'd be covered. I'd kinda like to get into some fixed-wing stuff at some point. I love watching the YT videos from Flight Test - those guys do some wild stuff!
I have the Beta version of the new Photoshop with the AI generative fill. Haven't had much of a chance to play with it, but soon maybe.

Such glamorous bombshells may have one's heart skip, from time to time..😊💝🥰
Stellar work, outstanding glamorous awesome composition, brilliant render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!

Nice image with simple and effective lighting. A joy to view, Rod.
As for everything else, best of luck. My health is not so good either but I am definitely still kicking and plan to keep on keeping on. Seems like that's where you are, too and best of it for you, I hope!

Hi Brother,i bet ist only due to the stress,i read that you had quite some shite on your plate over the last couple years,since i vanished from the radars lol.i am trying to drop by more often on a regular base.about troubles with the website and the so called service.i found out that wherever you go and whatver you buy,nobody seems to take his job seriously anymore,they all want your cash and for the rest you can go and get f***ed if its up to them.in the future what with all the crap going on in the world right now,some people will have a rude awakening,you can bet your butt on that one bro.If orangeboy becomes again POTUS,(and sadly it looks that people are dumb enough to vote for that Vokkfaze),then he will turn the world more sour ,than it has ever been.mark my words.
RodS
HEY RENE!! Good to hear from you, Bro! Hope you're doing well, buddy! But I know Ute will keep you in line! LOL
You are soooo right about the state of things all over. It's a sad situation, and if folks don't pull their heads out of their backsides, I don't know what's gonna happen - but it won't be good.
Oh, God...... I am hoping and praying with all my might that we still have enough sense NOT to put that raccoon-faced orange piece of sh*t back in the White House. If we as a country are STUPID enough to do that, we deserve everything we get. The guy is a lunatic, a traitor, and a common criminal. He shouldn't be qualified to run for garbage collector, never mind POTUS. He'd turn this country into another Russia, North Korea, or Iran. God help us...
Yeah, the plate's been pretty full lately. I supposedly have some kind of heart arrhythmia, so I'm wearing a heart monitor for 30 days. My creativity has taken a swift kick to the short & curlies, but I'm hanging in there. I hope to get TNA rolling again as soon as I can. Working on some script ideas now.
Give your lovely wife a big hug from me, buddy! She's doing some cool stuff!
