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...

It's great to see you posting again! And what a comeback you have made, with such a beautiful image. You certainly haven't lost your touch! Beautiful work as always, and I'm glad to hear you're getting things straightened out personally too. I hope things only continue to get better! hugs

My dear friend...what a joy it was this morning to check my messages and see that you were posting again. I have missed you! I love the rich colors you used in the background and the work you did with the wolf is amazing...the look perfectly executed. The girl, though brought over from Poser has that "ShadowWind characteristic signature...flawless coloring, shading and hair. Her eyes really sparkle with life. I know what you mean about reworking the Poser figures. I have found it more difficult too. Anyway, my friend, a first-rate work of art from a truly amazing artist!...Cheryl

Welcome home! :o) Glad to see you are back with another stunning digital painting. Very nicely done, but I would suggest a bit more "sharpness" in the painted features (around her eyes and on her cheekbones) as opposed to what's already going on around that winsome smile of hers. :o)

Nice to have you back, Kaze. While I think you did a good job on the poser paint over, it just doesn't look like your normal work; it's missing the... feeling, I guess, that your hand painted stuff had. Short of that, I really like the image.
gallimel
it's wonderful to see you back.. you were greatly missed and this awesome work tells why.

Simply magically STUNNING!!! :-D

Guilt like silence is golden but cannot be easily separated from unrequited worry. The wolf bark makes her coy that someone does not care.
