BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

I think you did a great job dear :) I can't stand that series (so badly acted) but this image makes me re-evaluate it :) Hugs :)

Another character that I know nothing about - gee - sometimes I think I've lived my life inside a bread box...lol. Oh well, whether I recognize the lady or not doesn't matter - it's still another well executed render by one of my favorite artists. One of the things I like about this "Movie Poster Theme" fantasy is the gentle purple haze around both the character and the lettering - separating both from the background - but without destroying the look and feel of the whole image. As usual my friend, great work, and another vote.

Perhaps the item which is not quite true is the smell of syntheitic two stroke oil and the crackle of richness that settles to a pop-pop-pop and then a quaaaaack as it accelerates. Jessica's oil is probably not purple though there was the Unocal thing. The rich rumble of less often on bricks in a forest of junk will not elude you long. I can already see the flicker of lost hope in her face which immediately leads to the first plot scene.

Excellent work Shadow. One of my very favorite shows...I was so upset when they took it off the air. 8 hours just to get her face so well...Boy, that is allot of work. It looks very much like her. I love the hair...very natural and that was a classic pose of hers. I really like her prominence in the poster and the highlight around her hair and Body. Another excellent render Shadow! If you had not told us it was a fake poster, I would have been very excited.
