Hi my name is Bill(started here as Primaltruck). I am an old hippy from the santa cruz mountains.I live with my wife and kids Alice and Chris..we also have 2 other kids Jason and leah, that are married and live elswhere..we live in the redwood forest with a spring and waterfall on our property and about 700 2nd growth redwoods..My artwork is definetly inspired by were i live and my family.My daughter(Alice) being a Tatoo artist and wife being my worst critic.she knows me and knows how to tell me when something doesnt look right without getting under my skin..Alice likes all art so she always says good things that help inspire me and i try to do the same for her..if you look at my rendorosity gallery you will see that i had a pretty rough start and took a year or so to get the hang of 3D art as i have always scetched and painted and created..But learning how to deal with something new is always an adventure..and its been a lot of fun and i have made alot of friends along the way.I mostly use Bryce and Poser and Photoshop on a Dell PC..and plan on getting Vue in the near future..and...I couldnt talk about art with out mentioning Dudley Wade(Prog)Who was one of my first friends here and a heck of a great teacher and i think i learned more from his advise and studying his art than anything else....I dont think i have a style,except that my style is in doing something different when i can think of it!and the longer i post art in these galleries the more i realize that its not really about the art but about the friendships made....getting better with our art is just icing on the cake..I have also been a musician all my life and have played guitar for 30 some odd years..Loving everything from Mel Torme to Jimi Hendrix to all the great new music i hear..some Favorites..Frank Zappa,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Beatles,Pink Floyd,Yes,Scott Henderson,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Steve Morse,Nuno Bentencourt,Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Frank Gambale,Al Dimeola,Les Paul,Chet Atkins,Speedy wes,Jimmy Brynt,Barney Kestle,Charlie Byrd,and many more..i have been posting at renderosity mostly and at Dreamslayerart,Tapestry of dreams,Innertraveler,artzone,renderotica and 3DCommune..not all at the same time...lol...I am very easy to get along with and treasure the friendships made here..I am not afraid to speak up for what i believe in ,am strictly non violent,love nature,and always looking for fun and a reason to celebrate life...so dont be afraid to say hello or ask for help..I dont bite that hard...Love and Peace and Respect.

Very Pretty! Nice Lighting!
mattham
The hair is beautiful. It really shines golden in the light. The eyes are very clear & deep but would they have two points of reflection in them ? Are you using just the one light or two? It just seems that there is a reflection in the eyes coming from an angle where there is no other light on the character ! I may be completely wrong. Something just looks a little funny in the eye section. Cant pick a fault with the rest of it at all though. Matt :-) PS: Commiserations to brat526 for missing that all important first spot. The irony is that if you hadn't typed the first sentence, You might have got it.:-)

another one with a single light placed at 9 oclock just outside the tracking ball.light set to 100%.white
Primal
i set the eyes up with a specular setting very high and this is the reflection it got from the single light..i do agree it doesnt look perfect but that is the way the puter figured it(very slightly inhanced)..i will have to take a single light and try this on my daughter to see what reflections we get.thanks.

She looks very pretty!! Her hair looks beautiful!! The only thing I noticed is that I can't really see her eye lashes.
antje
She really looks beautiful! I love the lighting and her hair! Excellent! :o)
Primal
O.K.checked the lighting on my daughter and it is much different than this..just a single circular glow at about 9 oclock on the iris of the right eye and just a slight glow on the other in the same place..thanks so much Matt for pointing this out..

I have no suggestions...I 'm not the one to make them...I just enjoy your stuff. I love the lighting and the sparkle in her eyes. Wonderful artwork!
Shakti27
I love her hair and her eyes as well as the softness of the lighting - however, the shoulder on the left hand side of the image looks a lil off kilter or maybe thats a trick of the light?? Other than that its fantastic hun S Stunning werk!

Avalonne
It always impresses me how you try so many different things and get such great results. I wish I were braver, but alas, I tend to stick with my old tried and true, for fear that I will fail at any attempt to do something different. I would be the last person to suggest you do something differently because I am always amazed by your work. I think she looks wonderful :-)
Elfenone
Oh man I'm going to go in your gallery and see who commented bad. I actually Love this..her pose is almost madona ish..not the musician..but JC's mom. It's beautiful. HUGEST HUGS I for one never get that extra highlight in the eyes right, so I think you did very well.
prog
Well, I agree with Avalonne-she really said it all!!!! I need a kid to experiment on!! LOL!! Tell Alice I said, "Hi"!!! EXCELLENT work, Pal!!!

We tend to stay inside a certain box and feel that if we go outside that we wouldn't be as good as we are in our comfort zone. You have gone outside the box and I like it and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. Just be you and do what you do best and I'll be a fan and a critic all in one. Your portrait is beautiful and find no fault in it. Lighting is amazing!! Continue to be talented and blessed!!

SK2Design
Stunning! There's no way I could ever make a suggestion on what you could do to improve your work because I'm too busy being inspired and in awe of your talent. I love that soft looking pose and I that lighting is done so beautifully. Amazing artwork!

Beautiful lighting and pose. Wonderful :)
TallPockets
Someday you just might turn into a halfway decent artist. WINK. LOL. Amazing stuff, bill. (If ya' talk to your ID and your SUPEREGO, your EGO will be kept in a check and balance format - kinda' like our federal gov't is 'supposed' to be set like). V

Wonderful image here! Lovely portrait Bill:o)
romanceworks
I always enjoy your art because you do take risks and are always trying new things and all of your art is so worth viewing. This image is lovely, she looks so tender, however if you are asking for suggestions on how to improve it, the only thing I might suggest is to experiement with the lighting on her overall skintone, making it more harmonious with her hair color. I think this would give her a little more warmth and glow. Other than that, it's an excellent work. :o) CC
eres
LOL Bill!!!!!!!!!! Tu fais un travail formidable et, pour ma part je n'ai pas de critiques spifiques a formuler...Je crois que tu es un des artiste les plus crtifs que je connaisse et tu marises diffents styles la perfection...Aussi, pour ma part je ne vois pas grand-chose dire de ce que je pense rllement mais qu'il m'est parfois difficile d'exprimer...YOU DO A FANTASTIC WORK OF ART MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NocturnalRamble
