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.

Sheeesh! I was in the forum this week and read a lot of those messages. The forums are always one place I check out. The community forum, the Poser forum, Copyright forum and Merchants are one I visit often. I don't understand why Aiko 3 is considered to be a child figure. I went to my gallery and deleted the fairy images I made using her. The clothing was transparent or bikini style. But I wanted to be sure I wasn't in violation. I like this portrait. Great lighting.

I never go to forums...I been once and never more (I hope!)! I am sure you know about what I am talking about... Image is fantastic as always! Excellent done!*****!

Somehow this doesn't surprise me at all. They deleted DarkWing-Zero's gallery with no notice the other day, as well. It's getting crazier by the day here! Soon they will shut down the comments on the images and leave us to only post Gumby and Pokey images! Shrugs head Well, the good news is this image is Superb!! =D Fantastic, gorgeous portrait and I think this is the best I have ever seen GLH! I thought it was painted at first it's so pretty! Beautiful character and the lighting and post work are top notch!! Might as well squeeze off a few good renders before they take our copies of Poser away from us, too! lol! Yes, it's getting that bad! Excellent work, Bill!!

Gorgeous portrait!! Very stunning lighting. I noticed also they locked the thread...very typical I guess.

Well, what's a member to do when the PTB take control? I still don't understand the A3 thing, but I'll keep whatever images I have of her up and running until they pull the plug. This is gorgeous work, Hon! Excellent lighting and expression, and the hair is wonderful. hugs Ish

missed the thread, wish I had gotten there. I did hear about DarkWingZero's gallery, and that really made me sad. Again she recieved no notice what so ever! She had to contact them and ask what was up. BluEcho,I"m sure you will not read this, but I am very sorry to hear that you deleated some of your Aiko renders to keep "them" from yanking your gallery. More of MY FAVORITES gone forever I guess. Kinda sickens me!!!!!
Leita
Gorgeous portrait!!I love her expression and the soft lights!!Excellent artwork!!Hughs!!:D

deleting a gallery without notice is wrong - locking a thread that is being conducted civily is wrong but this portrait is very right and stunning Chris :o)

AlteredKitty
This is a very beautiful portrait and a lovely way to bring attention to a serious subject that affects us all :) ____ali x

great image bill!!!!!!!!!!!

It saddens me to hear they locked a perfectly civil thread just because they were tired of hearing it?? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and neither does deleting someones entire gallery without even a warning....Did we wake up in Russia this morning??? Well, all that aside, I love this portrait...it's one of the most beautiful I've seen :-)

Very beautiful work here Bill!! Excellent job!!
Artzy

cappy3
Such a beautiful face!! Excellent lighting and shadows!!.........Who knows why they would lock that thread. I think it is just some gung-ho mod on a power trip!! Don't let them grind you down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vampir3Princess

People stated that because they didn't do certain types of images, the new TOS doesn't effect them. These same people made that statement on a civil thread now locked because someone doesn't want it discussed anymore. Naw...It doesn't effect them, does it? insert sarcasm Gorgeous portrait, Bill. Simply stunning.

A whole gallery! I got an image pulled once, my very first try. Ok it was probably my fault but lose a whole gallery and not even be told about it. That's awful. I am not really up on Renderosity terms I take it this is a discussion page "thread" well you sure made a statement with this image it's outstanding and superb! Cathy xooxox
brat526
I do know that DarkWingZero did alot of girl renders that showed bare boobs,but to delete a whole gallery,comon. Maybe she took it out in protest of having her girl pics targeted. At least I hope that's the case. If not,it truely is a sad day here. Lovely portrait,love the lighting. Excellent+++

First of all, this is a beautiful portrait...your light is just incredible! A big Vote for that! When it comes to this site we all need to reasses the intent of this website...as the owners have already doen so. Renderosity is NOT an Artists Community. Renderosity is a marketplace for generating $$$ from internet Poser and other software related product sales. It is America so under a free market economy the owners are well within their rights to take whatever course of action they deem appropriate to furthur this end. Consumers, on the other hand are free to take whatever course they deem necessary. Personally, I'm saddened by their change in direction. -jay

We had one of our images removed months ago and it hurt to lose it -Like you and so many other artists, we care a great deal about what we create and share with others in this community. I can't imagine losing an entire gallery. I'm sorry to hear the thread was locked - because artists really do need a place to voice their feellings and frustrations. This is a very lovely portrait - such soft beauty and exquisite lighting and I'm happy to see your creativity is alive and well.. CC

I think it's really sad that so many long time members are feeling alienated by Renderosity. It just seems to me that there are so many different ways to handle things that would not leave so many bad feelings!! I'll be interested to see if these modifications to the TOS you mentioned ever come to pass!!! Excellent work, Pal!!
fastburn
Man, take a couple of months off and i miss all kinds of things! lol! I'm not aware of what's been happening here at R'osity, but i sure do love the pic my Friend! Love all the other ones i just caught up on! Take care and hope this problem here works out in a psitive way!! Take care and be safe!..Dave

I know nothing......lol. But non the less a beautiful portrait. So soft she looks. Nice work!!!
digi-b
Well if they close the forums I guess the galleries are the next best place to go. Hopefully comments aren't a reason for deleting an image. Excellent portrait, your lighting adds so much impact to this!!!

This fits the mood Bill as if she is wondering in the dark "What is next?"

For every natural loving good person that sees nothing wrong with nudity and being natural..there's some twisted mind out there. Bill, I think it's that we can't control the evil twisted thinkers out there in the world that we suffer. I know you have no vial intention in your art..and you know the same about me. There are some strange surfers out there though..not all but some.. that get their screwed up minds in a bunch. We'll be blamed for fueling their fire..just because. Nobody wants to be blamed for being negligent out there. That's what I think.. HUGE HUGS

As for myself I don't mind that the thread got locked as after having my say I found the other members handling things well.I must say that I don't agree with the reason why it was closed as they more or less said everyone had had their say so the thread gets closed...people weren't trying to rip one anothers throats out and even with the difference of opinions,the members handled themselves well I believe.I think rosity intends well but they're making some big mistakes as you have to employ tact and care when making such changes...I think the recent changes at rosity require a moment to step back and take a breath of fresh air is all.
