This image was created for the Global Render Challenge over at Poser Addicts on DA. This was so far out of my comfort zone, the only thing further out would have been scifi. I spent a lot of time on this one, I actually lost count of how many hours. I was more or less happy with the end result, and it did take first place. I snagged some very cool prizes too! So the work was worth it. A big thank you to the judges and the generosity of the folks who donated prizes!!

It’s been weeks and weeks since I have posted anything in this blog. I have done so much art since then, I suppose I should do a small catch up. Well, small in the sense that I could not actually post everything. There is so much to post, I do not really have the time to make a bunch of individual posts. I’m in the midst of multiple design projects for clients and for myself.
There are a number of new images in my personal gallery, and a lot of new images in my designer gallery. I think my favorite of the stuff in my personal gallery is “The Snake Charmer.” She turned out very well, though the lighting in that one was a killer. I would have to say that “In the Time of Legends” is my favorite in my designer gallery. It’s just one of those incredibly romantic pieces that I create now and again. So for those who follow, peruse at your leisure.

Winter is finally breaking here -thank the Gods for that- and early spring is always inspiring. Hopefully I will have some time for art in the coming weeks. I have some wonderful images in my head I would love to try working with. One of them is from a painting inspired by Sir Francis Dicksee. I do not want to make a replica of it, just one that was inspired by it. I already know what it will look like, I just have to work on it. “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” is the name of the painting. I have been in love with the painting for all of my adult life. It won’t be easy, but I’m looking forward to working on this. It will most likely take a few months or more.
Plus I would like to make “The Face of Spring” to continue with my faces of the seasons series. Fall and Winter are posted in my designer gallery. This one is far, far less work than the one mentioned above. No doubt it will show up in my gallery a lot sooner.
