It's been 7 years today since I've been a member here. I stayed a lurker for many years before I ever got brave enough to post anything. The image you see here was one of my very first posts. (it's called Dolphin Princess) I've been posting images since July of 2003. It was just shortly after my father passed away. I had been working on an image for him, but sadly I didn't finish it time for him to see it. I would have posted that one but I've since found out one of the poser characters turned out not to be a free one ( I forget just what site I got it from, but it had it there as a free item) so I deleted the poser character and took down the image. Any way I was really shocked at some of the very nice comments that I recieved on the first ones. At one point I had 200+ images up. Then sometime ago I deleted my whole gallery for no real reason. (other than being bipolar that is). So then I started to reupload all my images that I thought were good enough to put back. Ahh, but the bipolar disorder had struck again, and the gallery was gone for the second time. Well I have a decent sized gallery, and I'm hoping I don't flip out and nuke it again. At this point in my life, I just don't seem to be able to render anything worth seeing. I don't know if it's one of the FIVE medicines they have me on or what, but there's just no ideas left in my head. Well thanks to all that have supported my work in the past. And to those who often tried to help me out when I was seriously depressed, that meant a lot. OK, I've rambled on long enough I suppose.
