May the light of justice and comfort shine for those suffering loss in the latest outrage.
What kind of filth makes war on children??
In other news...
I'm in a short hiatus at the moment - hope to get back to commenting in a day or two. I'm doing a bit of re-arranging in my studio, in preparation for my retirement this fall. I have a new computer ordered to replace my main Poser machine that bit the dust recently - I can't afford it, but I did it anyway... Hopefully the new machine will be here soon. I hope to post a new "Behind The Scenes" update on YouTube this weekend with more info.
In the meantime, I hope you will join me in thoughts and prayers for our friends in England.
Be well, stay safe, and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Back soon....

Beautiful tribute and dedication, Rod! I, myself, am at a loss for words as I feel a rage within that these bastards need to be eliminated once and for all!
Great dedication... I myself can't seem to understand the logic that these animals uses... and calling them animals is an insult to real animals... but I hope one day we can wipe them all off this earth!..
Lovely tribute, Rod. I just can't believe so much hate for the world and people's activities. Guess it's hard to say where one can go for a movie, concert, parade, marathons or any other enjoyment without wondering if it will be ok attending any shows. Had to do a tribute myself. My heart and prayers go out for the victims families.
Beauty is the answer!
THANK you!
Beautiful tribute
Very nice tribute Rod!
Beautiful tribute Rod. Lost for word
An appropriate image and well expressed sentiment ...
The line's has definitely been crossed now. I look forward to the day when ISIS is cut off at the head.
Great dedi, Rod.
I went to a new store here that originates from Omaha and they have some superb desktops.but purchased a new bed set instead
beautiful dedication
Beautiful tribute Rod. It is a sad sad world we all live in. Take care and hope you get your PC soon. Don't think you can stay away from rendering for too long ;) !
A wonderful dedication Rod and good luck with your new equipment.
I've just come to the conclusion that people are mental. I can't fathom how anyone can go bomb someone else for whatever reason and expect that will reason things out.
I guess they just can't understand that killing innocent kids at a concert is NOT going to make the rest of us want to join their F###ED-up religion. It's going to make us want to rip their guts out and strangle them with it.
such a quiet, thoughtful and perfect tribute.
Thank you for your wonderful tribute my friend...I would be banned if I said anything more.
A beautiful tribute.
A great tribute and very nicely done ! ! !
Superb dedication!
Beautiful post, Rod. My comment's late as I missed this. Glad to hear you're getting that new computer. I'm considering one to get into 64 bit work with more RAM. Hope to get better and faster work done with one. Let me know how your new computer turns out! :-)
Thanks for posting this........Manchester is my home city
We are so saddened about the carnage that keeps happening in our world today! If your religion call for killing than it is not a religion but terror. What horrors have been done in the name of God and Allah! Well that is all the ranting I will do today. Love you tribute! Hugs👍👏💕
man, I've commented on more images than I thought (you don't know how relieved that makes me feel, after all the comments you've left me!)
Your photo is beautiful, with that special radiated light converging on those beautiful leaves. It really looks like a memorial. I did a piece on the middle ages recently (for a member), and as I researched, I was so struck at how brutal that age was. Life was worth nothing---if you weren't royal or rich, you were subject to annihilation at the drop of a hat. Aside from plague and other diseases, marauders could come by anytime, and there was often no justice to speak of, no one to help you rebuild, nothing to protect you; and if a family made it through a mere winter intact, it was amazing. But here we are in the 21st C, and we're still living with the same unbridled rage and violence---as if nothing has changed. With all our protections---totally unheard of in ages past---we're still subject to marauding and terror. Makes one wonder if the real darkness in the human soul has changed, despite the protections we've build for ourselves. A beautiful memorial for a terrible event.
(Well I'm at an hour, and I've only done 6 images! See how slow I am? Part of it is, I have to edit every comment because my first drafts are un-readable; so it takes me forever. I'll comment on your latest now, but if I only did 7, at least you'll know I spent time with them...)
