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.

Erk! Not yer usual sprite, is it? lol! is this the one that was causing your puter so much trouble, Christie? Maybe your Win2K doesn't do ugliness well? Fun image!

Awww, he's not ugly, he's just "unusual"!

Which is the tulip? Indeed very different to the sprite scenes. But excellent too. In light and composition.

Wonderful picture in all respects. I love the humor in it and especially the grass.

Very nice work, although I get the impression he's about to pluck that flower.

Maybe he's picking the flower for his Mother on Mother's Day?!

Everything I've been thinking while looking at the pic has already been said, so here's a few words instead... Ugly, different, great, amusing, unusual and whatever would your sprites think? There that should do it! :)
