I recently started 3D art work in August 2007.  I've always loved the stuff just never had the inspiration for it until I came across renderosity.  After a LOT of reading, and picking up Poser 7 and starting with a small runtime I started work and was just amazed what I could do with the new tools available. 
Always the student, for the love of it I present to you the viewers my work.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed creating them.
