Ive been trying to do a character that looks like me. Not quite theyre yet but its getting close.BIOIm a 46 year old Software Engineer living in Wisconsin, United States. Ive been married for 29 years and have three daughters and two grandsons.
I always thought I had no artistic skill whatsoever but when a friend at work introduced me to Poser in Sept 2003 I was fascinated with what he could do. Bren is the person who gave me the nickname of digi-b. Anyway he took off for our division in China and Ive been alternately blown away and frustrated.
I posted my first image at Renderosity on Oct 2003 and surprisingly nobody deleted it and told me to stop wasting their disk space. Instead Ive meet some really great people and received a number of very generous comments. Renderosity is a fantastic place!!

Cool, that dragon hidden behind the wall! And Aiko looks fantastic in that outfit. Is that volumetric lighting? Must have taken some time to render! No postwork - this is awesome! v

Everything about it is simply wonderful, Joel! I really like her outfit! That lighting on the dragon is awesome!
Forevernyt
Yeah, cool render and I'd agree with you, he's a cantankerous renderer.

Awesome scene! He looks so cool behind there ... kinda feel bad for her cause I know whats in store for her! LOL Excellent work!
SpiritofGabriel
And he's even hiding! What a pig! LOL! I do like the lighting and the non-chalant way she's holding the knife! Very cute!

This is great! Love the hidden dragon and the outfit. The expression is cool and the texturing in this is very rich and detailed. Just wish she was paying more attention to what's behind the wall. grin Maybe that knife will help. Excellent image, Joel! v

I can't believe there's no postwork on this; it's absolutely gorgeous! Lovely morph on Aiko and terrific texture. Excellent choice in lighting. Stunning render!

Can't she smell his breath!! LOL!!! What an impressive scene-the lighting and colors are fantastic!!! Beautiful depth and richness in the colors-I'm very impressed with the lack of postwork!! EXCELLENT!

Excellent render, the textures throughout the image are outstanding!!
dayna2
Excellent!
Shardz
Fabulous scene and the fact there is no post work is even more amazing! I can't believe it took that much ram to render! Perhaps hiding some dragon body parts that aren't visible might help. Excellent work on this lovely image!

That's a fair bit of memory to render Joel, but well worth the effort. This is beautiful work my friend. Aiko tooks very pretty indeed. Well done! Steve :o)

I can see you like aiko now, great image and colors.
visualgirl
lol @ PROG! Fantastic even without the postwork! Great job on the lighting! Everything looks awesome!

Well there's no way whatsoever that I'd get my PC to render this I reckon but it was worth it my friend!!! Wonderful character and costume and the half concealed dragon is a fantastic touch! Excellent work!!! WOW!!!

Fantastic Image!!! Excellent!! =0)
cliff-dweller
Terrific scene!! I love how you've made the lighting around the lurking dragon totally different from the main part of the scene. Very effective!! Beautiful dress on Aiko, too. Excellent work!!
mari_e17
Super fantastic image, Super fantastic lighting!!!! Totally beautiful!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!
Axeye
Awesome render Joel! I agree about the massive requirements to render an image like this! I couldn't meet the RAM for this and I usually have to render each character seperately, and without much props! Very limiting! You get my vote!!! Excellent work!!!
jwdell
I have the same problem as Axeye, but I'm gonna try to solve it by upping the RAM on my machine to a Gig! If it doesn't solve the problem, I'm switching to DAZ Studio cause I'm sick of fighting with Poser!! Sorry about the rant, it's a sore subject!! Awesome Artwork, as always!! vote
