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.

Thank you all for the encouragement, and Davy, I'm glad you love it!For your information, Becco UK, this image wasn't produced "in a rush" but took many hours to put together. If you can retexture Ironhart's thatched roof any better, I'd sure be interested in a tutorial from you. If you're having a bad day, please don't take it out on me.

I can only comment on how I perceive things - that is certainly not having a bad day. Today has been good for me but I stand by my comments. Best Wishes.

Okay, let's ditch the guys and make this a girls retreat! Can I bring my cat? This is a wonderful place, I too would be in bliss if only the world would allow me to melt away with just my love, my cat, my comp. and a garden.
