Both images are terrific..nice work, Rene!!

Hey bro, keep cool. Some of my faves have pulled out their galleries too. Usually they post some explanation why they did it. Although it bothers me, I feel I have to respect their decision and that I dont have the right to pry into their personal life. Dont let that stop you from doing what you do best. I enjoy your posts and your rants and look forward seeing them. You have a talent for doing really biting social comment both in your images and rants that I seem to lack. I try to do the same in my images but you are so much better. You deal with the darker side of life that everyone wants to sweep under the carpet. Some of your posts make me laugh, some make me want to cry. And some are so brutally honest that, in truth, I am at a loss at what I can comment. lol Keep cool, my friend. :-)

~Great image and great ranting all around! :P ~

I am not going to get into the politics of commenting on here I used to spend hours doing it and even got to number one. This site is run on comments and favourites I'd rather make friends now and comment on my friends works. I never look at the art charts or anything like that not anymore. I wouldn't get upset sometimes real life gets in the way I do believe if you post alot that people will not look at everyone and that's being honest. Back to your picture You are really excellent at doing scenes and backing them up with writing well done :) Cathy xoxoxo

Die beiden Hübschen bleiben ihrem Style treu....wie langweilig. Sollen ruhig mal den Mut haben, auszuflippen. Mal was anderes probieren und nicht nur die Farbe des Tops wechseln, dann klappt es auch mit dem Nachbarn. Und Rene, ich würd mir da auch keine grauen Haare wachsen lassen. Man kann keinen zwingen. Mich stört z.B. die ungeschriebene Regel "bewertest du mich, bewerte ich dich!" Ich würde nie bei einem Bild für die Mülltonne "well done" o.ä. schreiben, nur weil es von einem Freund ist. Ich lege nur Wert auf Comments, die ehrlich gemeint sind. Nicht etwa aus einem Zwang heraus ....ich muß jetzt was dazu schreiben, sonst ist derjenige sauer. Ich mag es nicht, mich zu verbiegen. Also bleib dir mit deinen Bilder treu. Du bist schon ein Unikum hier bei rendero. Lieben Gruß die Beriner Göre Juli

Sigh.... I do my best in life to be a good person and I even find people that misunderstand me... I enjoy commentting, having friends here that's why I do it... But as of late I too am wanting to take a break from here because of others actions... I never intend to fully walk away from this site, I have made a promise to myself to never delete my gallery and post when I feel like it... I think some people here are just too uptight and will snap no matter what you say in their comments. your picture reminds me I need to take a shower and change my clothes - lol... the Mrs.s will be home any minute too. Just keep doing Art Rene and try not to let the world get you down - that's what I'm gonna do.

Well, I hope Kayla and Layla are careful while wandering around in that part of town! I don't know about others, but I'm here for the long haul, and I hope you are too Rene. It's always a delight seeing your latest work! You have a great sense of humor, and your artistic commentary on the state of world politics, economics, and yes - even multicolored toxic clouds are so much fun! Don't let it get you down for too long, Bro! You've got lots of friends here! I'm proud to be one of them!

yes I know some for some reason do this. they told me one time they clearing out the old images. big deal I looked in my gallery yesterday and I was going to deleted some of the real old images and I saw some one open up the images i was going to delete. i must have open up 20 images in my gallery that did not have much views but lol someone open them up to before i got there so i did not delete nothing as it teach me that people will go to page 70 in my gallory let say and look at my work. I not going to do that. i did deteled most of my nude ones for I feel i did not need them but i did that two years ago as I was falling in love with someone but it did not work out . lol

wonderful scene!!

Loved the sequence of images Rene, the characters are marvelous! PS: I agree with you Rene about the artists that delete their galleries, it's a shame that people do not stop to think about the friends who commented. I hope you stay with us because after all you made friends who really like you and have every respect!

I haven't been commenting as much as I should, but I am checking out your work. You always make me laugh, and sometimes you even make me think. I haven't been posting anything because I am taking a break from computer art and concentrating on my crayon art. :)

This is a fine render today, Rene with the short descriptive. Well done, I say! You certainly know how to pull on the controversial heart strings in your rants, Rene! All very valid comments and observations! I thank you for putting it out there for everyone to see and comment on. You really get peoples attention and that is a very good thing! I agree about the deleting of the gallery. I have done so twice in my years here. But I always saved the pages onto my computer so that I could always go back and look at who commented on my art. To be human is to be emotional and this is a very emotional subject! Thanks again for reminding us that we are human and as such react as humans in our own individual ways!

I think some people get hurt feelings by nasty comments, like Bossie Boots (Lou) and then leave or delete their galleries. Some people are very unkind. I got a comment of "Ughh!* once, by someone who had no images uploaded. But I did not delete my gallery because of it. If someone does not like my work then too bad for them, LOL!

Boy, when you rant you really let it fly, Rene, this is one thing I do admire in you, although personally I don't see the relevance between your commenting about someone's image and then have them eventually delete their gallery ~ taking your comment(s) with them into the ether. I understand your feelings of it possobly being a waste of your time to comment but I think even though the artist may've deleted their gallery they still have seen and read your musings... and that's all that counts to me, not whether someone else in the community other than the artist gets to read it and marvel at your's, or my, respective wittiness. I once thought about culling some of my earlier images out of my gallery that I wasn't satisfied with but then I thought twice about it and decided to leave it intact. It shows growth, and hopefully not in regards to only the size of my runtime content. There's a couple of my very early things that I still feel are better than several of my latest ones ~ then there's some that I wonder what I was even thinking by posting them, other than I'd spent so long trying something out, by God, I was going to post it whether anyone other than myself liked it or not. Some just make me wince with amateur shame when viewing the works of more accomplished and talented creators here. We all should create for ourselves and share as we have, if someone likes what I've done I certainly appreciate a kind word or two, of course. I think we all do this (some more than others) more for personal satisfaction and enjoyment than the comments, however well received one's render may be. I've made the top 100 a couple of times and never would've known it if it were not for the bot notice in my hotmail account... I never look at the charts. I don't think that they're realisically representative of what is "good" or "bad", whether it's a photo manipulation or a 3D render. Charts are a fine reminder as to who's popular or the friendliest at the site but a far cry from being an accurate snapshot of creative talent. This is merely an observation of mine and doesn't mean that people that're on the charts don't belong there for good reasons. Whether that's the quality of their work or their hearts is a moot point to me, I say more power to them and I hope their popularity continues. I'm sorry that my online time these days is so limited that I've missed hundreds of creations by people I consider to be my friends here. I rarely have more time than to see but just a few of people's newer works once a week or so, my hotmail account has over 800 unread E-mails, most being bot notices about new renders. It saddens me that most I will never see but such is life and at this time I can't do much about changing things as they are. Take it to heart though, mi amigo, that I truly love to get a look at your's and Ute's creations when I do have the chance... as well as so many other's here. I just wish I had more of them.

GREAT IMAGES. I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT DELETING A GALLERY YET

Klasse Szene. Und wo du recht hast, hast du Recht.

nasty scene... reminds me of parts of Calgary... dirty, messy, and ... well... nasty... as for the rant... keep 'em coming... we may not agree, but hey, we're all (supposed to be) adults... maybe more people should start acting like it.. don't flame someone when you comment about how bad their work is... especially if you don't post anything your self (happened to me a few years ago.. some troll kept dissing my work, saying it was sub-standard. when I went to his gallery, nothing there... told him to grow up and ad least post something... he posted a tutorial image... not cool)... when Valerie Ducom passed away, I was saddened to see that her gallery had been taken down... she went so suddenly, didn't give us a chance to have one last look at the greatness that was her work...

Hey, Rene, take it easy. This community sometimes in some ways reflects the real life which often sucks. Nice atmosphere in the top picture, I like the posing and composition.

I only give positive comments. Not everyone handles criticism so well. Do'nt let peoples actions get to ya. If someone has a habit of deleting their gallery, sure I'm not going to take the time to comment on their work. Often times they will get the hint. Keep up the good work Rene.

I don't like it either when someone deletes their gallery, and I like it even less when someone who's work I love leaves, and deletes their gallery. I was very disappointed a few years ago when someone who was well loved here died, and their family (I guess) deleted their gallery. But they can't deleted the images I've kept in my mind .. and in that case, it almost felt like that person's memory had been desecrated. I like going way back in my gallery, and seeing how I've evolved with my images, and if I delete it all, how will I see that? I like doing that in other people's galleries to. About the uploading and commenting, I feel guilty .. lately I've been falling so far behind that it's hopeless to catch up. And yet my dear friends still keep coming to my gallery. I should just shut comments down, but I'm so selfish, I love reading comments. That's why I fall so far behind, I read all the comments in everyone's post .. and can't keep my own comments short! Oh crud .. I'm running out of room ... Big Hugs to you Rene! Your rants, raves, and tales are the best!!
