Hello,

I have been working for the last year on my blogs and as well on my renders and the lighting of them. I have been doing many renders of many different styles and as well working with many different filters and other plugins for photoshop. Some of the artwork I have used filters on others I do the renders and composite them and then postwork paint on them as well in many layers. I have been studying the lighting that can be done with 3d renders and the options are endless as well they are much further reaching then real life.  As well I have been exploring digital sculpting with zbrush and and other programs as well. You can see a few simple sculpts I have done in zbrush like the flowers and the character heads that I have created.  Some of these I will work on more in a few months when I get a more powerful computer/workstation I have run into the fact that my computer at this time just does not have enough processing power needed to work with such powerful tools. Though I have realized that I am not a bad sculptor and there is some promise in this. I also have started exploring texturing as well over the last year and have s=done some of it for the game second life.  I had a second life store though I just did not have enough time and closed it. Though running the store in second life I did learn a large amount of knowledge about texturing as well as modeling too. Though using the actual 3d sculpting programs and rendering engines is where you get to see texturing come to life the best. via both use of textures and shaders etc ....

I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior. If you do too and you aren't afraid to say it, copy and paste this in your signature.

Hello Stardazzle,

Thank you for your interest in my artwork, I often do create artwork by request. As well as I do freelance design work for many different people and companies. I have many art blogs and a new fantasy art T shirt store online that my brother and I do the designs for.

PS I do believe in Jesus though this is my business and well I separate my business from personal beliefs ... I may render a demon being beaten by and angel though it is only art and artistic expression. For example Jesus chased the business out of the temple so I feel why bring the temple into the business it is a line that is a bit fine for me to explore or experiment on with my personal beliefs. The reality of venturing into this arena may be best left alone so I do not offend god. :sheepish:

Haha thank you! :D I understand, and you're really talented :love: And I would love to order a t shirt from you if I had the money :( but I bookmarked it so that if I have enough money I'll buy one or two from you. ^^
And as of belief in Jesus, there's nothing wrong in having Him as inspiration during work. :D

As for the request, I'll send it to you through note.

Nice gallery! Zbrush must be friendlier than Blender, which I'm currently learning (primarily in order to teach it). At the moment I passionately hate Blender, because it is SO hard to use. However, the good news is that by the time I'm done, I will have mastered a nice modeling tool. One of my ambitions is to create Poser props and clothes, and Blender should work nicely for that. Maybe Zbrush too! - and someday hopefully I'll have time for that one.
