November 2015 Staff Spotlight - WheatPenny

Staff: What makes you so passionate about helping our members?

Jeff: I just love being able to contribute and give back to a community that has done so much to help me with my art. When I offer help or advice to a member I feel like I'm doing something useful to help the community. Also, when I discover new things about art or my art software, I like sharing my discoveries with people.

 

Staff: How much time do you spend on the site per day?

Jeff: Several hours a day. Due to a disability that I won't go into here, I don't work outside my house, so I have a lot of time, and coming to Renderosity is a great way to spend it.

 

Staff: How did you find out about Renderosity?

Jeff: From a flyer that was in the box with Poser 4 when I first bought it (back in 2001). Also if memory serves there was a link to Renderosity in the software itself.

 

Staff: What art do you dabble in?

Jeff: I like working with Poser, Daz, Shade3d, 3dsMax and several others. Over the years I have experimented with several different softwares such as Lightwave, Bryce, Rhino, etc to try to find ones I can work with I like doing different kinds of art. I usually go for a cartoonish look because in addition to digital art I also like drawing cartoons (I've done that since I was a kid). Some of the renders in my gallery are digital versions of some of my cartoons.

 

Staff: What's your favorite aspect of being a moderator?

Jeff: I like monitoring the Galleries, mainly because I get to see what other people are doing with their art. I've seen some really amazing stuff here. I recently joined the Daz Studio team here at Rendo because I like looking at the images people are producing with it. When I first became a moderator I was on the Poser team, and I kind of missed monitoring the gallery, so when they said they needed help in the daz gallery I jumped on it.

 

Staff: What makes you so drawn to Renderosity?

Jeff: The sense of community, and my love for art. I like the way people in the forums are pretty quick to help each other, answer questions, etc. Plus, as I mentioned already, I like looking at the art that people post here.
