Slap me in the face with a herring and call me Stinky! My last post I said that it was time for post-production. Totally wrong. That’s what happens when you spend six straight hours positioning and posing models – the brain goes gaga. I also forgot to tell you what models and gear I used. Well, I will leave that up to my concluding post on the topic. So lighting
Hi all 🙂 Today I played a tiny bit more with colours (the carpet is now purple) and added and posed some figures. So I thought that I would tell you my philosophy about posing figures. It is based upon my little bit of experience in amateur theatre. You see, back in the 1980s I had this cunning plan to meet girls. The plan involved being one of a small
Hi all 🙂 I am at one of those artistic judgement stages where I am just fiddling to see how things go. I’ve added a banner on a wall using one of my bought textures (one of Ron’s Background Images and Textures). I also added a plain orange carpet for the length of the corridor. I am still uncertain about that colour. Also, at the top of the stairs, in
Just a quick note about my most recent step. I said that I wanted some shields on the walls. So I designed one in Inkscape using the first part of the

Today I want to actually plan a picture and share the entire process with you. As I want to challenge myself on a few things, this will take a few weeks. My goals with the picture are: to have dramatic lighting (think Caravaggio or Film Noir) to
Hi, This is a new picture that I have created with DAZ Studio. I call it Seduction. It came about accidentally. I was actually just playing with having multiple different coloured spotlights hitting different figures (so each figure here has about three lights hitting it)
When I look in the mirror I can plainly see the impact that life has had upon me. I’m a little flabby and worn around the edges. A few more wrinkles, especially around the eyes and forehead. Signs of bags under the eyes. No, no – don’t take that vision of perfection at the top of this post as gospel. I am not as gorgeous in reality as that picture
I was sick today and spent most of it on a sofa either spluttering or snoozing. However this afternoon my 10 year old daughter was telling me how she was learning the origins of the names for the days of the week. Obviously only the English versions. She wanted my help. So sick or not I decided to help her. Me being me, I helped by making a PowerPoint presentation
