shoes and socks are not textured yet...

Butterfly Power! for Girl Power! (Skateboarder K4)

 

Another texture set I'm working on for the Skateboarder outfit for the Kids 4.  Why should the guy get the really cool comfy clothes and the gals be stuck in dresses?  With the texture sets in Girl Power! you'll be able to expand your options, and your little gal will thank you for the feminine touches.

Faerie

.... for lack of a better title.  LOL.

Another K4, this time with the vintage girl dress, with sleeves, ruffles, and trims removed.

the coolest commercial ever.... grab a kleenex!

 Ok, this is the first time I've ever posted another person's work on my blog, but this is just too cool not to share....

Daphne Fae

18 hour render in Vue.... yeesh.

On a personal note... if my Aunt was a fae as a child, I imagine she'd be as cute as this one is... Daphne Fae IS named after my aunt.  My mom calls daffodils "daphne-down-dillys" ... so, I guess you can now see why... and how... I ended up equating my Aunt with such pretty flowers....

Candlelit Jade

Power Princess

Power Princess, set 1 of Girl Power! for Kids 4 Skateboarder =D

Made for the tomboy who still loves to be a girl!  Comfortable clothes for those rough & tumble moments coupled with bright sparkly fabrics makes this an instant favorite for your little one!

Don't worry, I'll make it better....

My mommy made cookies, and I'll share if you wanna.

Introducing Daz's newest "family members" - The Kids 4.  Long awaited, much sought.... and I am sooo happy they came home to live with me!  Oh... lil man is upset cus I took away his skateboard - silly boy wanted to jump those steps without knee or elbow pads, or even a helmet!

Attitude (Aka: Caption This Image)

Being the sort of person I am... I went completely brain-dead when it came to a good title/caption for this one.  It looks like she's trying to make SOME kind of point.... but what is it?

Never Swim Alone

Yep, that's V4 - seems she'll make a decent early teen if you push her far enough =D

Creekside

Ok, the tree roots and gnarly tree roots I got the other day totally ROCK!  they add a whole new dimension of detail to my work!  The fantasy trees (i'd call them tree TRUNKS, not trees, as they have no leaves LOL) are pretty wicked, too.  You can see the "Handtree" in the forground easily - I covered it in moss =D.  The tree on the rock in the creek is also one of them.  There's a few more in the background that I used in the ecosystems.  Speaking of ecos... I FINALLY figured out why mine went completely loco.  See, I set it up across 4 terrains - and started applying (painting) the items on that way - with all 4 terrains selected.  Then, I cleared it as nothing was showing up on terrains 2, 3, and 4 - only on the 1st one.  Seems, it didnt clear EVERYTHING, and two items were left - and hiding, as I never found them LOL.  So, every time I wanted to change my ecosystem on either of those 4 terrains, I lost EVERYTHING.  After about 5 or so times of starting over YET AGAIN.... I learned to NOT TOUCH THE ECOSYSTEM! LOL.  Well, at this point, I had no idea what had actually caused my problems, but I did discover that new materials could have new ecosystems and not affect my original one... so I ended up creating a riverbed to add pebbles and algea/moss to - the water "movement" helps blur the line between the muddy bottom and the sloping of the terrain.  I added some river rapids to the scene, changed THOSE materials (they seem to "glow" to me).... anyways, all in all, after 2 days of work... I am very VERY happy.

Wish i could find a way to eco-paint loose dirt.....  hmmm, wonder if anyone has loose dirt available....  i think the creekbanks could use some.... on the roots poking out possibly? =D

Spring Showers

Spring & Moods of Spring

Spring

Spring is starting up here in the cold north!

 

Moods of Spring

Together

Together

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.” 

Winnie the Pooh

The Burning Store...

CCox's Bookstore, textures adapted/modified/downright changed by me.  I'm rather proud of myself, and can't wait to see how I manage the flames... =D

Anyways, this is in response to the store my SO Manages... it burned the other day.  Not as bad as this image would have you think, but bad enough that although the store was closing its doors in about 6 weeks, they ended up closing for good early. 

Anyways... as a prop, this is actually a nice one to work with.  The textures were simple and easily understood as to what piece went where.  There was also very little actual redundancy in material zones, which is a major annoyance for me.  It did, however, crash and completely swallow my work whole at one point - when I was almost finished.  I took a little break, and 2 hours later, had managed to recreate my work.

Enjoy =D

Now, Wait Just a Fairy Moment!

"Now, wait just a fairy moment!  WHAT happened?!?"

02 The High Priestess

Card 2, the High Priestess...  The virgin goddess, moon daughter... feminine consciousness... mysterious and alluring.  Guards the gates to dreams and female mysteries.  Connection with world soul.  personal identity and spirituality, secrets and matters concerning younger people, especially women

01 - The Magician

So, i decided to do a tarot deck using artwork I create for each card.  I'll make each image first, and then insert it into a template I've already designed (and no doubt, will redesign a few times before its over with), and then work my magic tieing the entire lot together.

Here's the 1st... The Magician

Moving Day

Moving Day....

The big day has arrived at last, and the final boxes have been sealed.  Maddie, excited at the beginning, now is no longer sure if she wanted to leave the only home she's ever known.  Part of her is thrilled, as she will have her very own purple with pink trim room - like the inside of a cake, she declared when she saw it... but the other part is worried, as she hasn't seen her bed or her toys in days.  And now, her parents have wandered off (putting their big screen TV into the moving van, no doubt), and Maddie is left to wander around by herself...

Quietude

Slipping away on a warm sunny day, ShyBird enjoys a few moments of peace and quiet on the banks of the stream that flows near her summer hunting camp.
