I am the author Lyle Aryn. Writing is my first love, my one true passion. Every since I was able to string a sentence together, it's all I've wanted to do. Websites where you can find my work and more are below.
I started using Daz Studio October 23rd of 2018, just as something to dink around with. I'd been signed up with the sight for a while, and would occasionally remember to check for freebies. I was surprised at what I had when I finally loaded up the program. I just started playing around with it, figuring it out. I'd say about 92% of what I've learned in the program I've learned just by playing around with it.
In December I went from being a dutiful son looking after his mom, to the full-time, no nights or weekends off, caretaker of my Mom. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder or two, this change has had a drastic impact on my own personal care and well-being. I turned to my blossoming love of doing digital art as a way to cope with the mountains of stress on my shoulders. I do miniature painting, too. But when you haven't slept in 4 days, handling a brush can be very messy. Not being able to paint to my own personal satisfaction was making this avenue of relaxation increasingly frustrating.
Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.
As my skill with the program grows, so does my confidence. I did the cover to my fifth novel, "Because the Night" using Daz Studio, as well as new covers for two previous releases. (Though they haven't been updated just yet.)
I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different.

Yup, I have trouble with my Orc teeth all the time. They're a nightmare with coffee...
Nice work!
LyleAryn 1:13PM | Fri, 04 June 2021
The ones that COME with this character go right through the lip. But luckily I found some others that don't. Woo!
Thanks for the friendship, my friend-shaped friend person!

Aww. Thank you!

Fantastic mood you created in this well lit scene! Lighting is always a challenge...you did it so well in this render! Excellent work! :-)
LyleAryn 3:13PM | Mon, 07 June 2021
It is nice to see all the time I've spent in studying lighting has paid off to some degree. I'm glad you like it, and I appreciate your words.

A dentist, who asked to not be named, stated that doing impressions on her teeth is a real pain.
Great image and cute story.
LyleAryn 3:15PM | Mon, 07 June 2021
The real challenge was in describing, from first person, what it was like to kiss her. One of these I'll have to post that story somewhere. Probably on DA - I'd get a mark on my record if I posted it here.
RodS 1:27PM | Sat, 05 June 2021
A most wonderful and delightful scene here my friend! The lighting is perfect - it really reflects the tender moment..
LyleAryn 3:16PM | Mon, 07 June 2021
Thank you. They're one of my favorite couples to work with. The first render of them I did, I did for a contest over on Renderotica. It didn't place well - I learned the hard way that those heathens don't appreciate tender romance. Still, I got the characters and enjoy rendering them from time to time. And I can honestly say that half the time they're clothes stay on! (I can't say that of other couples I could mention...)
STEVIEUKWONDER 3:21AM | Sun, 06 June 2021
You can feel the closeness between these two love birds. Excellent work!
LyleAryn 3:17PM | Mon, 07 June 2021
Yes! Thank you very much. I hope to have a new render done and up tonight. I like to feature couples during pride month, and I've already got so many to choose from. Maybe time for another Rachel and Amira post? Hmmm....

Thank you Nobby! Have a great week, you hear?
Lord_of_CNF 3:26AM | Tue, 08 June 2021
looks nice... but the question should be "what book/story both read there?" the details are of interest XD - cool render!
LyleAryn 5:06AM | Tue, 08 June 2021
:) Well, Bear found an enchanted sword, and Vera was teaching her it's history as they traveled.

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with the end result myself.

Neat, especvially your use of the lamp.
LyleAryn 2:09AM | Tue, 15 June 2021
Thank you. One of my favorite little props. "Rose Vials" Lots of fun to play with, and plenty of material zones to bring it up to more modern standards. Doesn't suffer from looking boxed out - good smooth polys.
RG19 6:56PM | Mon, 03 January 2022
Des scènes merveilleuses et originales comme celle-ci... ont l'air fantastique et donnent également au spectateur quelque chose de nouveau à admirer à chaque fois ! :-)
