From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

Areophany StarChild is beeeeautiful. This is either my favorite or my second favorite Dennis' composition. Needless to say as a child she excels...musculature, color and child demeanor are all working here. You are not afraid to exhibit the child's body, inasmuch as all children are works of God's perfection. And this them is incredible with the supporting flying saucer. I must say that it and the accompanying bubbles/spheres are works of art seperate from Areophany. How marvelous is this composition. I may make this my desktop for the Christmas season. Thanks for sharing Dennis! : )

Funny to see your first upload, Dennis. Beautiful and funny work. The stars really looks amazing. Seems fractals is used in it too. Very creative and original. Very cute girl, too. The pearl is the Alien with an attitude on the T-shirt. Amazing that it's almost 6 years ago, since you made this.+5
Darkwish

this is so cool... I noticed you've been visited at least once every year since you posted this - except this year... Until now. I like to look at artist's first image - I'm glad you kept your gallery intact, it also shows me what avatars were here back then and to see if they are still around. Basically though, I visit an artists first picture to help that artist look at where they have come from. This is definately an interesting piece because you have used fractal, might be just a background, but you mixed fractal with poser... I have a few favortie artists that have done one or the other, but they haven't really tried to use the two toghter - davidoblad and darkwish have been to my gallery numous times and it's funny to see them both here because both use to post quite a bit, ya know a few a week and this last year It's seldom we see them anymore... at one point in time, darkwish went to every upload I made and commented on... I hope she's doing well... David hasn't seemed the same since Marlene left him.... anyway, great to see your first picture and you were ahead of your time.
