Ain't No Rest for The Wicked
I really don't have much to say. I just grew tired of dropping by my dA page and seeing a several-year-old journal entry. I wish I had something more profound to add, but I don't usually even have time to pee during a normal workday, so I'm afraid this is about as deep and meaningful as I'm likely to be these days.
Peace, all. Keep making art. ♥
Greatest Treasures
“The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.”

It was nice to look at my dA artist's page today and find myself pleased with all my "newest deviations." Usually, I find myself wincing at one or another, thinking about what I didn't like and what I could have changed. But today I surprised myself and felt only contentment. Maybe it's because I haven't had much time to render -- less quantity, more quality and all that. In any event, it was a nice moment.
I can't believe we're in 2015 -- and that we're almost 1/12th of the way through it already. My twins turned 11 just b

It's been a very sad few weeks. In addition to the recent loss of the amazing Robin Williams, our little DAZ community has also bid farewell to one of our dearest, finest members. Jaderail, mentor to soooo many people on the DAZ forums (and elsewhere) has left us with holes in our hearts -- but a smile in them, also. He was featured in my journal when he passed, so I thought I'd take a moment and single him out. He will be missed.
Please remember... cherish your health and support education and research of ch
Enjoying the scenery

SInce it's been a reeeeeeally long time, I thought I'd update my journal. I've been going back over my gallery, looking at strengths/weaknesses, etc.; but I'm also looking at my own particular style. I've come to the conclusion that I enjoy character studies. The "stories" in my images are more biographical than narrative. But I like that. While they're technically less involved than action scenes or multi-character images with highly complex backgrounds, I find beauty in the simple portrait. With summer here, I've taken on a purely fun project. Some people I m

Thank you so much for the feature. You've picked a few I'd almost forgotten about 
When I look at the selection it makes me realise very few of my renders are done just for fun. Well, I find experimentation fun, but very few are done just because. I would like to do more just for fun and not worry about technicalities so much.
It certainly can be hard when you're in an environment where you're constantly coming up against hardcore 3D artists that look down their noses at us DAZ/Poser users that usually don't create the bulk of our own content. The way I see it is that 1. these programs are fun 2. using premade assets leaves us free to get on with the business of making pretties 3. art is not content, it is composition
