Hi there! My name is Victoria, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California (but live elsewhere now). I first became interested in computer graphics some time circa 1995 when my dad gave me this CD package of some new, up-and-coming computer software at the time which included Aldus Photostyler and KAI PowerTools. I went home that day and created some silly little piece and after that I was totally hooked. A few years later a friend introduced me to Photoshop, and it was love at first sight. Since then I have been teaching myself all things Photoshop. About two years ago I came across an ad in a magazine for DAZ Studio. I had always been a little intimidated by 3D graphics, thinking it was way too hard to do, but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Now I'm equally obsessed (if not more so) with all things 3D as well.Â
My art is a mixture of DAZ Studio, Poser, Photoshop CS5 and Filter Forge. My other tools of the trade include Hexagon, Silo, ZBrush and Vue, and I also do black & white digital photography and photo restoration on the side. I am a huge fan of classic artists like Salvador Dali, Calder and Leonardo da Vinci, but am also strongly influenced and inspired by the works of contemporaries like Jack Pedota, David Ho, Luis Royo, Olivia and many of my fellow Renderosity artists who continue to inspire me on a daily basis.
I have several college degrees including a BA in English Writing, a BA in Anthropology, and an MS in Evolutionary Ecology (a subdiscipline of Anthropology).I think my ultimate goal with my graphics - what I really hope to get out of all of this - is to create something truly beautiful one day that either someone will deeply appreciate in their heart or that will inspire someone to create something beautiful. Thanks for stopping by . . . and happy rendering!V.

She is extremely lovely and sweet! I know that Rod will love her and no doubt want to convince the TNA team to let her join! I have a feeling that under that sweet look is one tough lady who can give as well as take

WoW!!! you most sertenly can!...I bet RodS is already looking for which department to put her in!...I also look forwards to seeing her there. I just love those big eyes, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for her...Very nicely done!!

She is a cutey for sure. I was finally able to get you Alicia which I have lusted over since you introduced her. This character reminds me of Thorne's characters with the cute button nose. Yours has a better texture than the ones I have, but I have not seen any of his stuff in a long time as I stopped even looking at the ads, since I could not buy them anyway. I have several of his characters I bought when I had money. She looks perfect as a Fae. Song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5IVuN1N6-Y

Wowsa!!! And now for something completely different.... I want her for my runtime too! Oh my yes, she is just adorable! She inspires me to get back to rendering..... Wooooweeee, no wonder Rod immediately went into OOOOMMMMMMMGGGGG mode! Jeepers creepers getta load of them peepers! I'm just sitting here giggling in pure ectasy! I cannot wait to see the images that are gonna be rendered with her! She is gonna do great! You know I was just thinking today how many models are being produced and wishing I could see more diversity. And then you go and gobsmack me right between the eyes with Betty. Well done Vyktohria, well done indeed.
