How long have you been involved in digital art?
i think it was 2002 - i bought a second hand Cinema4D 5Go version and so i became infected

at the moment i work hard to write an interview in a foreign language and also iÂ´m working on a new outfit for Kali - and i hope to accomplish a free stuff upload in the next few days with some stockings, sleeves and a slip figure for Kali and Kelm and there is a folder full of insubordinate , sweet and ugly little guys on my HD that wants to become out of it

What software do you use and why?
silo - its an easy straightforward modelling program without frills and furbelows
Roadkill for the maps - i like free solutions
Photoshop and from time to time gimp
Poser7 and a little bit D|S

Where do you find inspiration for your products?
i think the people around me are my favorit inspiration and every kind of art galeries, garage sales, books like "World Of Fairies"Â the drawings of Brian Froud are full of inspiration and they do impress me since i was 6 or 8 years old
and i live in a small town in northern germany with a fantastic nature around and you do not have to be very fanciful to see Goblins and Fairies in every shrubbery
... ok sometimes an object like a trash plastic bag inspires me - especially when iÂ´m tired

Do you have any advice for aspiring Digital Content Developers?
dont forgett to regale your sweetheart! think free, and for creating the most impressive figures of all, you do not need a computer ;o) everything else comes alone

How has this online Community (Renderosity) enhanced your work, relationships, and learning?
i think more than i realize - in the whole time i played with digital art, the Renderosity galeries gives an high standard to my own ambition and i see many people that worked hard to achieve, hold or outgun this standard and this is a very thrilling and fascinating running movement that entertains me more and more

Do you have any final words?
i will say thanks to all the people that like my products and many thanks to all the people that puchase it from Renderosity. I am very happy to be a part of this fantastic community and iÂ´m very proud of this award

i hope my english is ok - i am dependent on an online dictionary

Frank
