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

She looks fantastic Roxy :) This is a lovely interpretation of her and your words so true. Hers was a job with few rewards and she was indeed the most 'law-abidding' of them all. She was always conscious of the Law of Conservation and fair in her rulings. Beautiful work hon. Love it!

You are right on all counts! And awesome to see a render after so long. I like your third alot, but I get the Euro part. The first thing I noticed on MDDs Sakkara was her nose and how authentic it looked for her suggested portrayal/heritage. Your patience is truly rewarded and you've made a fantastic depiction. Perfectly grim setting and excellent render. Gorgesous and scary, all at once. Great info too. I may have missed this description earlier, I don't know, but at least it sounded familiar. I think I've learned more about Sumerian mythology from you and Rayvn more than anywehere else. Thanks! That's quite a comeback!

I think you found your model Roxy. She certainly fits the bill on all counts and you rocked the scene. I can imagine that the idea of seeing that which you truly are could be fearsome for many... and that's the sad part.

I am happy to see a new render of you, Roxy. And it is such an awesome scene. It was worth to wait that long for the right character, she looks perfect. I also love how you composed the scene with so many details in it and great effects. A fantastic image that has to be viewed in full size!

That Historical information you gave is another wonderful thing but,You right about that last Ereshkigal character,She's really looks more ancient middle eastern than others:-)))Also I can understand your elaboration about the Mythical/historical characters and their looks!Mostly of time I'm in distress about details if I have a Historical Concept in my mind,Sometimes it's about Outfits,sometime props or hair styles or make ups!If I couldn't satisfied after first Couple of test renders I can completely give up that project, or put it off for to deal with later,Because Authenticity is very important for me especially The renders about historical incidents:-)))) This one is magnificent as an Mythological concept,Superb work Roxy:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))

A very interesting description of this goddess. Yes, I also believe that we must distinguish. Between malignancy and justice If someone has done nothing to debt, he has anything to fear. Nice to have you here Ereshkigal smiles. Thus it acts human. (Although she is up to the knees in bone). You worry really very much about the appearance of your characters. I like that. You give in the value of uniqueness.
