BIO
My screen name is bonbonish. My daughter, when she was a little girl, used to use bonbon as her screen name. I asked her permission to use her screen name with a little switch -- bonbonish. Because I am not as beautiful as she is... just bonbonish. I always liked to draw, paint and to sculpture. During the elementary school I had wonderful teachers in my 'art' classes, and I also had many extracurricular activities related to art. I liked very much the technical part of creating artwork... works with soft materials, hard materials, different paints and different pencils. At high school and after high school I took part in a lot of art workshops, where I had the opportunity to learn from great artists. I used to draw -- with carbons, crayons. I used to make soft sculptures -- from different kinds of materials and techniques. Some of the techniques I learned, some of them I developed myself. From the very moment I learned to write I was writing. Short stories, long stories, novells poems and scientific materials. Recently besides creating digital artworks -- I write children's stories and short scientific articles. "The Wild Virtual Enchanted Garden" is my recent children's story and I am selling it here at the RMP. I never looked art as if my major profession... Till my son has been diagnosed with cancer. In my professional life [Ph.D. in economics] I used to lecture... mostly about materials that I developed. While my son got all those nasty treatments and underwent numerous operations I had to stay next to him. I could not continue with lecturing. Several of my friends come to my rescue. They suggested that me to develop slides that contained my material and they will present those slides instead of me. I started to develop those slides... and I wanted them not just to contain nice written materials I wanted them to be pretty also ... I was looking for computerized graphic programs that could help me out... 3D graphics I started out with different kinds of free 3D programs, but I didn't stay with them... because lack of community support. I need people around me while I am creating something. Finally I found Poser 3 and later I upgraded to Poser 4 and till that day I stay with it. So, I guess I started out about 6 years ago creating 3D graphics... I found fascinating Poser ability to behave' as an acting stage -- where I can set up a whole sceen and tell a story with my image. And even I can animate that scene if I want to... 2D graphics I started out with Flash 4 ... As I already told, I was looking for a program that allows me to do pretty presentation slides. Flash was suitable for that. What's more, flash has lot of ability to manipulate pictures and vector drawings. I read a lot of tutorials from the Internet, and I learned how to use Flash pretty well. I used to buy royalty free images and incorporate them into my slides. Then I wanted to manipulate my bought images a little more -- and I found Photoshop 5 and Painter 5. Eventually I wanted to make my own images...and for that finally I found Poser. I like very much movies. And I like to read materials about those movies -- about the life of the actors, directors, about how the movie was developed, marketed and so on. I like to walk. I like to go the gym ... and I like to have a lot of conversations with friends and family.

Thank you all for your nice comments! I forgot to wright in the comments that this is the new PS girl that I am working on her face in order to get her better describe my daughter when she was a little girl... I already used that 'worked' face on two of my previous pictures that I posted in the gallery... I do not do morphs... I am working with the head dials of the DAZ PS girl... there are so many possibilites...

The stubbiness of the nose that is not just telephoto foreshortening gives it a cute baby innocence. The gothic contrast belies the influence of her great aunt.

I would say she looks a bit... scary. With those eyes in dark shades... And mysterious smile on her lips... But it's positive. Great postwork!

chrislenn
the lines on her skin mentioned i believe are caused by the conversion Koty they won't take much to fix and no they don't detract from the image at all she is adorable love the eyes Chris :o)

Beautiful! You've adapted Shaday to PS girl really well. She looks amazing! Never done a portrait myself either, but this is such inspiration, I might even try :) EXCELLENT!

This is a beautiful portrait! But can't help noticing she has two sets of lips (one being a ghost-like image just beneath her mouth) I assume these are the lines people are referring to! Perhaps this is a mischievous ploy on your part? Otherwise her Gothic looks are charming! :o)
BonBonish
Thank you all so much for your nice comments! I also would like to thank to all those people who brought to my attention of that 'two set of lips'... After I uploaded that image I noticed that... but when I tried to upload that image I got so many times 'error msg-s...' that said that something wrong with the server... that finally when I succeeded to upload... and I saw that... I decided to leave it as it is :)... and hoped that people who will come to see that image still can enjoy it... Then I went back to my original Photoshop file and saw that one of the layers 'moved down'... and that caused that thing what you see :)... I do not know how that 'moving' thing happened because at the moment I duplicate a layer I link it to the layer below it... but technology has its own misterious ways... I wish you all a wonderful weekend ...
