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!!

That diagonal stripe under his left eye is probably a shadow, but it also conveys the idea of a wicked scar. The lighting is fantastic! And that sword is awesome. Stunning work!
