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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.<br /> <br /> 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.) <br /> <br /> I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different. <br /> <br /> If you like my work, be sure to check out my Amazon storefront, and follow me on Facebook for updates on what's going on in the world of Lyle.<br /> <br /> <br /> https://www.facebook.com/LyleAryn/<br /> <br /> https://www.amazon.com/Lyle-Aryn/e/B076N1DQ9C
