Description
Just an old Mandlebulb render I did some time ago..
Earlier today, I posted a kind of 'response' to the "Trump Loves America" post that's been at the top of the charts for several days. I had comments disabled as did the other post. It wasn't anything really mean or hateful, it was just my opinion. But it could have been easily interpreted in the wrong way
After looking at it again after a couple hours, I thought to myself, "This isn't me. This isn't who I am or who I want to be. Carrying the situation on and on is not the way to heal." And I deleted it.
I will be taking a break for a while - I need to get my head straight.
Don't worry, I'll still be working on the next page in the T.N.A. story, and it will continue. But for now, I just need a few days to re-focus.
Thanks to all of you who have visited and supported me over the years. Your friendships have kept me going through everything in the past 10 + years, and will continue to in the coming years.
I'll be back soon.

Very cool image and a great colour scheme, i can completely relate to why you posted that image, and i also understand your reasoning for removing it as well...take a little time out..bit of R&R..its always good to take some time for ones self...now and again... keep our head up and stay strong my friend....see you soon...
It is probably best to keep the galleries an escape from the real world :) Take some time to recharge your creative side RodS! BTW it looks like FA is partially back thanks to DA :)
Indeed... Time to recharge.
Looks like this is a communication between CIA operatives...LOL But yeah, Good to see 'em coming back.
Looks good, Rod. Take all the time you need.
yeah I saw that photo someone posted. amazing it took 1st place for days. I myself could not comment, thought they had the comments shut off. but if your comment was removed that's strange. I don't think I had one removed cause of opinion. we are in this misery together Rod, I feel the same way. been hitting it lightly on work over the last week or so, but have 40 backups to use in cases like this. I would have used a few negative words on that Trump post. best I could not I guess.
cool oldie you have her my friend, take it easy, pop on some headphones and listen to some great older music. take care see ya soon.
Actually, I removed it myself, Steve. It wasn't a comment (his comments are turned off), it was an image I posted in response. I just didn't want to look like I was upset because that BS was #1 for so long, and I was jealous or anything like that. I hope I never come across as that petty...
Anyway, I'll be back sooner rather than later... 😉
Well don't stay away too long... this place isn't the same with out you.. have a good one!
Superb fractal postwork 👍🙋♂️
Nice picture.
I'll miss you until you return, but I can understand the need for a break. One of the things I've learned living in a politically mixed marriage is that somebody can be utterly wrong (in my opinion) in who they vote for, but still be the same good person I fell in love with. The same goes for friends I have on the other side of the aisle; I still love them, even though they're wrong on some issues.
Super image!!! :-)
Wow!! Rod you're not in good spirits, I understand with everything that's going on in the world, there's a lot to lose hope of living in peace. Everyone reacts differently, I make pictures to clear my head, most of them I don't publish them, but I anaesthetize my brain with Daz. I wish you good luck, take good care of yourself, if you want to write me a sitemail ago, I'm with you wholeheartedly.
outstanding fractal Rod. we be sitting on the edge of my chair for your return
This is a good fractal, the colors are cool together. The center looks like a gateway to somewhere better... I think a lot of us would walk through right now. Take care.
I love your wonderful fractal but, I can hardly wait for the TNA girls, they are among my favourites. Take your time and relax, we'll be here waiting for you fresh and as good as always. 💖🥰😊
Neat !
Tour leader, speaking softly..... Here we see a High Resolution, Extreme close up of the inside of G4's bras. Yes, titanium is the only metal strong and light enough to support that impressive.. what? No, I've got a press pass!! I paid Bubba the Bouncer 50$ to get in here and show off the back rooms of TNA!!!!!! HEY.. you can't make me Leave....[Door SLAMS Loudly] oh, dang, I guess they can. Sorry folks, show's over.
Super Fractal Rod! You're a good guy!!
🤣😆😂 - Inside of G4's bras.... Oh, dear.... I think she said something about coming to visit you... 😆 Yeah, our security folks are a little snippy lately for some reason....
Maybe Renderosity is leery of political discourse. Political discussion is certainly a right in this country, but I'm with "mtdana" on keeping politics out of here.
.... sometimes, a person has to be someone they don't want to be.... maybe a "Billy Jack" kind of thing, standing to preserve your place in a changing world
Lovely work. Definitely take a breath and refuel. We all need it from time to time. I want to apologize if my comments were harsh. I hope you can take me with a grain of salt and I hope I didn’t come across as a bummer and an A to read.
No problem with your comments, my friend. I'll be back before long. 😄
I've been out for so long that I didn't follow these galleries events you're relating, but I can guess tho :/, take your time and relax my friend - Happy new year to you btw :D
Nicely done.
Nice work Rod, I think I have to take a break as well, stay well my friend and take care!
