A Special December Message 2014

It's been a good run so I am confident in ending my posting here for the year. I want to thank everyone for stopping by, even if this is the first time you are doing so. I want to thank the people that came here from social media and for promoting this blog. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, a great Yule, or just generally a great December. When that's done have a Happy New Years and I'll see you in 2015.

Art on!

Music: Winter Wonderland by Stryper.

    Back Again Fall 2014

    Hello. It has been a while. I took more of a hiatus than I planned. I hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en without me. I was so busy that I didn't get back to finishing even one piece of Hallowe'en art, and I apologise for that. Now that I'm back I'm easing into it. I have a tonne of new DazStudio items that I bought. The sales have been devastating to my credit. They're still belting out Platinum Club items and I am staunchly wishlisting them and trying to buy as few as I can manage. This year has been off the hook for sales. That said, enjoy the rest of your evening, and I will see you for the next scheduled post.

    QR31 - Dracomortis Cresco

    This scene takes a while to render the castle (chapel to be specific to the original intent). I did a lot of postproduction work to put the sky in rather than do one more overnight render. The light inside may be more of a matter of verisimilitude--looking good in a semblance of reality--than actual realism. I'm sure it will be obvious to some where it is incorrect.
