Tina is a thirty-something creative muse stuck in a hum-drum world of everyday life. Works mostly in the digital spectrum (on the 3D aspect) using Poser Pro Pack, Bryce 3d, Terragen, Vue d'Espirit 3.1, and POV-Ray

April 7, 2008 - Barely floating around with anything to do with Art. I've pulled my Fan Art Gallery due to inactivity and lack of time on my part. I have gotten Poser 7, but dammit, no effing time to try it out. Getting back into Cardcaptor Sakura and thus, the Fan Art flame is kicking up. Therefore... I shall see about getting a fanquarter account in lieu of making another change on my dead website :p
April 14, 2006 - Saving up to get a new computer or at the very least, upgrade to XP. I've noticed a lot of recent comments on my gallery, which is nice and all that, but if you want to start insulting, keep in mind that Elfwood sends me the IP of all comments.
Some things about me: I'm self-taught, doing artwork as a hobby (I don't think being an art major in high school counts, even though I scored a graduation honor). I also like working with lo-end programs, even to the point of freeware programs. Hi-end is nice if you can afford it and the mega-powered computer to run it, but I digress. The majority of these images are when I first started. Can these images be refined? Yea, they can. Do I want to? Not really. I move on, improving with each subsequent image.
Programs I use: Poser5, Poser 4/Pro Pack, Vue d'Sprit 3.1, Bryce 3D, Terragen, Painter Classic, Paint Shop Pro 5, and I had been learning POVRay 3.1. All images created on a Compaq Presario running WinME
I don't care much for those that actively seek out Poser users to start flame wars. Software snobs don't appeal to me :)
Interests anime, manga, video games, cookingFavorite Fantasy/Scifi Movies and TV Shows Mortal Kombat, Cardcaptor Sakura, Venus Versus Virus, Pokemon, Dark Crystal

Let me start off by saying that your image composition skills are dead on, as are your lighting skills, and you obviously know how to use raytrace without being tacky =) Now, I just want to tell you, by using to a package such as Poser, you're only limiting yourself- with the advent of spline modeling, good modeling isn't very different from drawing- and you can draw, from what I see =) Obviously if you use Bryce you've had a taste of modeling, just wanted to say, you have the talent to go further, if you let yourself~ s'all.
Oh, well there is another thing..that guy who said Max is unstable..umm..well...BAHAHAHAH..I run Max on 32 megs of ram (my home machine sucks), and it crashes maybe once or twice a onth..anyway. S'all. For real this time. Keep on' truckin'.
While I am a person who likes to create all my 3D stuff myself in 3DS or Lightwave. I don't condemn those who use Poser or the like, I applaude them. People who use Poser are allowed to actually focus on creativity. Just look at the wonderful compositing that Tina has accomplished. For those anti-Poser people out there, should someone who paints in oil make his own oil paint to be considered an artist? I think not. Kudos go to Tina for going against the flow.
Hey, howzitgoin? Tina huh? I know ya better as Tygerlander, but, whatever. Cool Poser stuffs, wish I could do it, then I wouldn't have to bug people to do pix for me. Well, Hasta Lasagne, don't get any on ya.
I have to go against the grain and say that 3D rendered figures, despite high quality automatic shading and textures, looks too much like Barbie and ken sets. For 3D rendering this work is realy wounderful, but lifeless. Despite all of its "Realism" it looks fake, more so than a drawn picture.
Dear Tina, when I saw the comment above made by Richard Mangan I had to have my say too. Every piece of work in your gallery is 100% better than anything he has in his gallery so please ignore his nasty ignorant comments about your lovely work. I particularly love Clarissa, Passion of the night and the Female Desert Warrior. You are doing a terrific job so keep at it and don't let the lesser mortals get you down. Barbie and Ken indeed! Let him stick to his pencil scratchings and his daydreams of being an "artist".

Well i have this collection poser4,paint shop pro 7,maya 4.5 3d max 5.1 well i am just newbie in this field.So i need some guidelines regarding this 3d art field.And plzz help me with this.I have vue d'sprit 4 but i dont have its serial number.So if anybody have its serial number then plzz send it to me on this vivek111_vvv@rediffmail.Com.
