Hiboux: One of my four rescued friends



"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear.  What one fears one destroys."
--Chief Dan George (1899 - 1981)


The avatar I use is a photo of a kitten who adopted me last fall. She came to my door one night, hungry and cold and in need of shelter. I had already adopted a rescued dog and 2 fostered cats (I have a friend who works in animal rescue), but another friend told me that being chosen by a cat was a special thing, so, here she is in her new home. I called her Hiboux (French for owl for those who don't already know), since she reminded me of a snowy owl tapping on my door.

Sorry I need a new digital camera. The one used for this photo was one of the first ones ever made that utilizes a floppy disc. I am attached to it, but thought it was more important to show off my kitty here since this is merely my "home" page and not a display of my digital art. I'll update it as soon as I can.

I live in the US Midwest, have a degree in landscape design, compete nationally (only in the US so far)  in dancesport, and choreographed contemporary dance for over a decade. I've been writing since childhood--mainly for my own amusement. A few of my poems have been published in obscure places and I used to write many interviews which were published online for years. None of my novels have met the public eye yet and that's OK because for me "the joy is in the journey."  

I'm hooked on creating digital art. I stumbled upon it when I worked online for 11 years as a content editor and became intrigued watching the medium grow. 3D art feels like a good niche for me combining movement, landscape, my love of nature, history, art, technology, myth and storytelling . . .  I love to experiment with software and hope to continue to grow as an artist.  I'm in awe of many of the beautiful works shared on this site. I've also begun a blog here called "A Novelist's Adventures in Digital Art" where I list useful sites and tools I find along the way:
My Blog

 
I consider myself a beginner at digital art. We all have to start somewhere. I try to encourage other creatives on all skill levels as often as I have time. I learn a lot from the artists I favorite here and even from private emails with tips if you feel so inclined. I dont allow ratings in my gallery anymore, because I don't believe in "grading" art--it doesn't fit into my personal philosophy. That said, I do often admire many of the talented professional artists and am happy when they are showcased on the art charts here and feel the rating system--though it has flaws--is important to honor excellence.    I do appreciate any comments and appreciate constructive criticism and suggestions.

Description


An edgy version of my last post (The Governess) loosely inspired by Henry James's ghost story The Turn of the Screw. Thanks for the private constructive comments. It helps. All done in Bryce with some Daz imported characters. The final vignette framing was created in Filter Forge.

Free stuff: picnic basket and food by Treasure Chest, bread by Kimberly.3d (Renderosity), Crinoline 1 and 2 dresses by Chohole and Jan 19 (ShareCG), and the Pollyanna dress for Maddy was found at Faerie Dreams.

Thanks for looking and for any comments you care to leave. Sorry to post a similar image again, but I couldn't let this one go until I tried a different version.

Piękna scena . Kraina baśni i czarów. Pozdrawiam miło.

blankfrancine ()  posted at 5:00PM Sun, 07 February 2010

i thought the first version was fine.Adding the other woman adds an air of mystery to it.Perhaps the two women are both governesses of nearby estates and in love.The picnic basket was empty in the first render? Looks more realistic with the food added.

e-brink ()  posted at 5:07PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Now this is an excellent development! Better lighting, everything better placed, and the addition of the second Governess makes it very haunting, intriguing and compositionally balanced.

Steeleyes101 ()  posted at 5:09PM Sun, 07 February 2010

This is one Beautiful work of art youve created My hats off to ya for not only this one but your entire gallery Bravo!!!!

A Fantastic render !!

Pewter7 ()  posted at 5:35PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Lovely imagery with wonderful use of contrasting shadows and bright color.

magnus073 ()  posted at 5:41PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Wonderful work Cathy, I think you did a great job changing the atmosphere here. You put so much thought into your art

mgtcs ()  posted at 5:53PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Beautiful atmo and great render, excellent work!

psyoshida ()  posted at 5:54PM Sun, 07 February 2010

This very wonderful too. I like the addition and the atmosphere. Henry James is one of my very favorites, what a clever idea. Beautifully done.

popeslattz ()  posted at 6:02PM Sun, 07 February 2010

The changes that you made were all for the better. I like the darker, misty, haunting feel to this one even better than the first excellent version. I've been meaning to read this, but never seem to get to it. Eventually...

novelist ()  posted at 6:08PM Sun, 07 February 2010

It's not a literal interpretation . . . Someday when I'm better at Bryce I'll do one, because it's one of my favorite ghost stories. There's a wonderful atmospheric movie version of the novel starring Deborah Kerr (1961) called "The Innocents".

Jedi_Padawan ()  posted at 7:49PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Oh I love the book "The turn of the screw" and the movie which is called in german "Das Geisterschloß" with Deborah Kerr. I love your adoption of the story and this image is excellent with these deep and rich colors. You really hit the screw... ahm nail. ;o) ~Sassy~

this is so beautiful, excellent image!!!

J5ive ()  posted at 11:04PM Sun, 07 February 2010

Very Beautiful scene! A Magical place!

three_grrr ()  posted at 11:56PM Sun, 07 February 2010

I can't believe I haven't read that .. it's on my list now for sure. I really liked the first version, the misty, softer quality gave it a slightly eerie feel. But this! Holy cow, I really like this and i'm not sure if it's because of the addition of the second woman, who I see as either the ghost .. or a woman seeing the child and governess as who are ghosts, maybe. Dunno. I like both. Each has it's very own charm

SIGMAWORLD ()  posted at 4:32AM Mon, 08 February 2010

Awesome! Very nice image!

I really liked the first one but, yes, the lighting is better. Great work.

adrie ()  posted at 3:14PM Tue, 09 February 2010

I liked the first one also, but the lighting in this one is indeed much better......great work.

great bryce work.

faroutsider ()  posted at 9:46AM Sat, 13 February 2010

Exceptional! I love the way the image has developed - the lighting and the additional of the second governess gives it a wonderful creepiness... The Turn of the Screw has always been one of my favourite ghost stories too...

Sylvia ()  posted at 6:12PM Sat, 13 February 2010

~Enchanting~ So Lovely Moments... FABULOUS!!!
