January 2013
Been at this site five years now and have seen a lot of growth - both artistically and spiritually thanks to the many good friends I have met here. I work with Poserpro2012, photoshop CS6, PSPX2, Perfect Effects 3 and Photomatrix 4. I love working in the material room and continue to find lots of growth there. I also do a lot of postwork fixing, special affects, and framing, all for which photoshop is indispensible. I love doing postwork; no image is anywhere near complete without it.
In the last year or so I've added quite a bit of photography to my gallery. I started with a Nikon Coolpix 9100 point and shoot. It gives amazing quality and its small size makes it easy to pack around and just grab some shots as they come into my vision. I still use it for sneaky people shots but now I use a Nikon D5100 DSLR for my more serious keeper work. Had I known how all consuming my passion for photography would become I should have jumped to a D600 low end pro camera.In my gallery you will see mostly storylines based upon my own visions and versions of Mesopotamian Mythology, sprinkled with some Celtic works and an occasional pinup or two and quite a few special requests. I have long been a writer, though a terrible speller, and so most of my images come with a storyline or poem. No image seems complete to me without words to accompany them.In high school I trained in both the Sciences and Fine Arts but when I went to university I had to choose one or the other and so I went with the life sciences. Art dropped out of my life for a long time... though I never gave up my interest in archeology and mythology. I wound up with a graduate degree in the life sciences with majors in physical geography, ecology and evolutionary biology. My love of nature and a deep naturalistic spirituality eventually led me to the wikkan tradition.Some five and a half years ago I discovered poser after coming across some great 3-d art on the web and after some six months of stumble bum practice I joined this site.Doing this type of art has released many visions and stories that were locked up inside my soul for many ages. It has allowed me to explore the life and times of my primal spiritual ancestor, a girl also named Roxanne, who lived in the Sumerian regions. She whispers the stories of these classic legends in my mind and I create the images to go with them.My stories are mostly written as dialogue and they tend to be rather long. So grab a coffee, a tea or better yet a beer, kick back, relax and stay a while.I hope you enjoy your stay here.Hugs and blessed beRoxy

What a sensational capture Roxy, and I very much enjoyed all the details you provided

Spectacular image and angle. Converting it to a museum I think was the best idea yet. Now everyone can share in the art and history, not just one or two religions. Great bit of info.

As you said - a lovely combination of Christian and Islamic art here. They look really nice together. Too bad both sides are so intent on believing they're the only ones that are correct and 'chosen'. This is a wonderful pov and image, Roxy. Great info too. Thank you!!

I do not know where I look first. What a work of art! When one remembers that all people are the same ... regardless of what faith? Why going this not in all heads?

Stunning angle on this shot, Roxy! You have such a talent for not only getting great shots, but putting the icing on the cake with the information you provide. It's a shame that the world's great religions cannot exist peacefully side-by-side as does this artwork…

Fantastic picture!!!

Amazing! It's odd seeing this while listening to Turkish music from the earl 1900s. Odd how things go at times. I love the POV in this: you really capture the grandeur and the absolute size of this place. There's a weight of history so evident in the way this image looks and jumps from my screen here! Great capture of colors and textures and the whole sense of this being a "sacred" place is really quite profound. This is a marvel of a photograph! Incredibly well done.
