EXCELLENT IMAGE ROD

Thanks, buddy! I appreciate it!

She's a looker and I like the car and scenery. I can relate to what you've been going through. I had it bad when I was in college and working full time. Praying for you and yours 🙏

Thanks so much, my friend! It's uphill one day, and downhill the next day, but I'll beat it.

Thank you for letting us know. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Also, this is a fantastic pin-up. Marilyn is gorgeous!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

I will be thinking of you and hoping for better days to come your way Rod! I thank you for all the support you have always given me, if you want to talk...please site mail me. :-)

Thanks a bunch, Johnny! It's friends like you and everyone here that help more than you can imagine! I'll shoot you a SM in a day or two.

And here's me grousing about arthritis and bad knees ... nothing compared to your battles! Keep fighting, mate, you'll get there.

Thanks, my friend! And I hope that arthritis leaves you alone for a while - a long while!

Every part of this render has its role to play in drawing attention to your main character. Gorgeous character with captivating eyes! Absolutely love this one, your pinups are very beautiful!!

I honestly have to say that I appreciate every minute you spend on every unique piece of art you create.

You are responsible for your happiness. Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears, and worries... IF you allow them. What consumes your mind, controls your life. Give yourself the time to heal. Every day is a new beginning.

Best Wishes to you my friend, hope you feel better soon!

Thanks so much for your encouragement and support, Rick! And your art is always a pick-me-up!

Sweet image, Rod. Hang in there, Rod. You'll beat this, Seems like there's always hanging around the corner for us old folks to overcome. Prayers for ya!

Yeah, this getting older thing is seriously overrated... I want my money back! LOL

Very nice! She's quite striking.

Though I have no words to cure you, I do wish you the best of health and that you find a solution to elevate your mood. I know platitudes don't really do it, but I sincerely hope things brighten for you and Jo.

Thanks, Art! It's an up-and-down thing, but I'm trying for more ups than downs... Having friends like you and everyone here helps a ton!

Getting older just sucks! Some days I can hardly move because my muscles are screaming out in mercy... Oh Wait... that's not my muscles.. .that's my mouth... Still.. clinical depression is not fun Where's Mr. Spock with that mind meld?!!! Rinse. Cycle. Repeat. It's a must! Especially if you have earwax... Or diarrhea... Ok. I'm done...

😆 Yep. Your first line just nailed it! Doing OK so far today...

I've been there before, and in this day & age it's easy to fall down the hole. Thankfully I have low-cost meds to keep it at bay.

Great pinup! And there are so many details to find.

All the best wishes to get better soon. You have the power!

Well, I know pains of lacking finance and depression and anxiety. But I know there are people worse off than me. Still admitting to problems and declaring your willingness to fight and get help makes me hopeful for your situation. I don't drive but I've always loved look and sound of a Ford Mustang. The lady in front is a bonus.

Beautiful image, Rod. I will be thinking about you, and wishing you the best.

Great image. Lovely lady and a great car.

I"m sorry to hear about your depression. Know you're not alone. Many of us here have it. Hopefully you'll find a good therapist you can afford and if you need medication, you qualify for assistance, And don't give up on your comic, even though it may be a struggle. Writing and art can be helpful.

No worries.. TNA will continue... And you're right!

Actually, creating the story, and anything else I create with these awesome tools (Poser, Photoshop, etc) is kind of a Zen thing, once I tell myself to get going on something rather than sitting around feeling sorry for myself... Working out all the little bits and pieces keeps my mind busy and off other stuff. One of the reasons why I'm not all that gung-ho about the AI thing. It just wouldn't be the same..

Your artwork will help, so keep creating. Get a great therapist and keep trying different meds until one of them helps. I feel sure there are brighter days ahead. Hang in there.

Awesome image, very cool Mustang and lovely looking character. Great job.

Life is full of challenges and for me lots of shame and regret. I don't know what you're going through at the moment, but we all have to bear our own cross. Mine is very heavy and I just want to stick my head in the sand and hide. There are times I think I would love living on earth if I was not here. ha

When you suffer from depression, and somebody tells you to just cheer up. Just think "My goodness what an idea!" "Why didn't I think of that?"

Hoping for the best. Take care.

I'm so sorry to hear of your condition. It is Curable. talk helps. Meds help. sunshine and exercise helps. My best to you.

Excellent composition and use of the background. Excellent pin up my friend👍🙋‍♂️👌

So sorry to hear about your depression, Rod. Not too surprising with all the crap going on (the orange cheeto stuff along with the ever deteriorating environment are just a couple of things that can wear on one's psyche). Just pace yourself and don't bite off more than you can chew. That's it for my unsolicited advice :) Super pin-up...your Marlyn is a cutie...

Hi, damn a car with horse.

I love Mustang so much (particularly the older once).

Yeah she looks great too ^^

Well, Rod, you shouldn't feel depressed after turning out such attractive work! Your lady is exemplary with legs to die for! Even the Car looks stylish. Well done Sir. Go and take a look in the mirror and SMILE You'll see! A smile is good for you! Stay safe my friend!

You've got my number, buddy, use it if the darkness gets too close. I haven't much advice other than, eat dark chocolate, stop watching the news, take more walks, and immerse yourself in an activity.

Hi lil brother, I send you some big smiles, take care of you and have a nice weekend! 😊

Wow. I'm frustrated for you because it sounds pretty rough. However I'm happy to hear you say; "But I'm a fighter, and this will NOT beat me!" That is so fantastic to hear! Life is hard as it is and for others a little harder. I'm glad to hear you have a lot of support and people who really care. Take your time.

Oh yeah... I almost forgot. Awesome Render!!!

Sweet looking female model and nice version of the 'Stang! Interesting rims too! A marvelous image, Rod! Bravo to the max!

We’re all in this crazy boat called life. You are not alone! Great scene! Hang in!
