Good lord.. I've really got to get on this whole update thing, don't I?
Â
Tell you what... I'll promise to try, if you all promise to believe me and forgive me when I forget again, yes?
Â
Awesome!
See? Everyone wins :)
Let's see.. Where were we? Ah yes.. I'd left RDNA, my home away from home due to growing physical issues that were preventing me from working. Hardly seemed fair for me to stay there that way, as there were so very many incredibly talented artists capable of fulfilling the quota required and here I was busy getting my spinal nerves burnt off.
Nevertheless, I am alive and remarkably enough, actually on the road to recovery at long last. When I began my therapy a few years ago, it was presented as something along the lines of a 'once in a while thing' and that I'd be back to normal ( or as 'normal' as I get, anyway) in no time.
That was what.. 2? 3 years ago now? That will teach me to listen to doctors.
ANYWAY..
Yes. Better is good. I got here without the help of the medical community, ironically enough. By the time they had finished with me I was unable to walk without a cane and told to expect a wheel chair within 6 months. That was 7 months ago and I've been without a can for three of those and in less pain for two.
Can anyone say 'Insurance milking'?
Ahh see? I knew you could :)
So here I am. Painting on commision now and working in 3d and doing the texture thing here as well again. It's nice, even if it isn't like it used to be. I still adore doing it and thus being ABLE to do it doesn't suck either, no?
And there we have it. An actual update! Try to contain your wonder ;)
Now perhaps I will get less emails from people wondering where I am and where all my stuff went! :P

Peace.

YAY!!! Outstanding work... As oSerX say I think that she's Jennifer Garner in the Alias movie.

If it's Jennifer Garner, looks like you've nailed it pretty damn well and I'm totally speechless...except for HOT DAMN WOMAN!!

I think its Jennifer Streisand (-: superb hair!

I love Jennifer too, and you've definitely got her likeness down! How do you do this?!?! Amazing! Hey, do one for me? I have a fetish for David Boreanaz (Angel). Just thought I;d throw that out there, just in case! wink

Shesa- Actually, the whole portriat thing just sort of 'fell into place' for me. It's been the one thing I've always wanted to do, but really fought with. You can look back at some of my early attempts to see just how bad it was :P Working from images is easier for me because it helps me keep my placement in line. I dont always get it right see the mistakes mentioned above but I keep trying and learning. I'll see what I can do about david :P
