That's my husband David and I, and my beloved kitty Lucia. Lucia adopted me in 1996, and David and I found each other here..we started as best of friends, and are still soulmates. We were married in England on 6 May, 2005.
BIOI've been dabbling in digital art for about 6 years, starting with Bryce 3. I think I've improved quite a bit. I've been at Rendero for quite a few years; enjoy the forums and galleries. I do graphics mainly as stress relief, and also because I can't draw with a pencil and paper worth a damn! (Didn't inherit any of my father's prodigious artistic talent)
The main programs I'm using these days are Vue Infinite, Poser 4.03, 5 and 6, PhotoShop 6 and CS, and PaintShop Pro 7 & 8. I also play with Terragen and Mojoworld 2 & 3 (among others).
I don't really stick to one genre; I've been bouncing between nature scenes, portraits, with and without postwork, people, places, things, nature, animals, and fantasy. Right now I'm concentrating on texturing and lighting in Vue 4 Pro, and have been doing sprite images because they make me feel so lighthearted.
My sweetheart's name here is madasatadpole, and he's a very talented and creative artist. Please visit his gallery to see some stunning landscapes as well as some very silly humor! So thanks to Renderosity for not only being a source of information and fun all these years, but for bringing me the most precious gift of all. His dad also has a gallery here, madasadadpole, lol, please stop by and check out his lovely watercolors.
