Description
"The Art of Passion"
By David J. Reid
aka "Shardz"
Software used: Poser 5, Vue Esprit 5, Photoshop CS
*~* Dedicated to Vampir3Princess and Lesthat *~*
During my short time here at Renderosity, I have had the great honor and privilege to witness the fantastic efforts of so many talented artists and to become part of something personally meaningful. The mere idea to realize your dreams and to create art based upon these thoughts is wonderful in practice, but to possess a strong passion for your dreams and goals opens new horizons in many ways. Given this thought, I consider Alejandra and Jorge with their endless creativity and artistry that inspires me with everything they do and create. To not only truly enjoy their lives together and their unique craft, but to have an undying passion that drives them to a level that few experience. Since I have been a member here I have realized that their images, products, and friendships are a staple to this online community, and I not only enjoy their brilliant artistry, but I appreciate their kind support and friendship that compels me to be passionate about what I do, as well! This image is dedicated to you both, Ale and Jorge, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done and shared with me, as well as all the members within this community! I look forward to the future and all the spectacular creations to come that originate from your hearts and souls.
*~* Image Notes *~*
From conception to posting, this project took about eight days to create; mostly during my spare time after work. Creatively, I was enduring some problems with the environment as I wanted it to be special and to try to create something better than my last image (another one of my goals). One unique thing transpired this time; I created my own texture set for the incredible Sphinx Leather Armor by Vampir3Princess and Lesthat simply because I have never done that before. I must say that it was very easy to customize and the package is so very versatile and well done, not to mention it looks fantastic! I also used my textures for the DM Capsule as the hues in this image needed something different. Also, for all you trivia fans, the Elvish banner on top of the Capsule reads

Dear David, It's awesome! And Congratulations! As you obviously did make your deadline. I hope you managed to get at least a little sleep. You work is always so rich in painstaking detail it takes a while to absorb all of it. And even then, when you look back you spot yet another detail. Thank you for the translation as I have taken up "Elvish" yet! ;-) I'm sure that Alejandra and Jorge will be thrilled and deeply touched by your work and words. I have learned in my short time here at Renderosity that the real things created here are friendships the art is only the vehicle. The words that you say to them are words that I can just as easily say to you. Exactly a month ago, a brand new babe in the woods wondered into Renderosity and was greeted with a welcoming message totally out of the blue by Mister Shardz. Since that time, you have stood with me, guiding me, counseling me, encouraging me, all along the way. As Alejandra and Jorge have been friends to you, so have you been a friend to me. I dont know either one of them, but Im going to IM them and introduce myself with a most distinguished letter dcatchet Hi, Im a friend of Davids. All My Love, Meredith
