Moments of Inspiration

Living in the tropics no surprise that it is  humid and hot 80 F.  Hardly had a winter at all this year and Spring arrived at the start of February.  Wish there was a slight breeze, then it wouldn't be so hot.

I am currently working on creating a miniature world in DAZ Studio 4 using the Genesis base.  My particular flavor is CUTE, so my characters  reflect this.  Cutsie is no exception.  She knows that she is the diva queen. (Pictured on the RIGHT).  She is dressed in the Bewitching Outfit that was textured by me.  It is part of a collection that I am currently working on for this outfit---A Wee Bit Wicked.

Another fellow that am working on is Fauste her partner.(pictured on the LEFT)  I am trying to decide whether to make him a knight riding on cat or an adventurer riding on a dragon.  It all depends upon whether I can get the cat or the dragon to cooperate.

As the artist I like to think that I am in charge, sometimes I wonder just who is calling the shots...the artist or the character, who throws a fit when they don't get their way?

Most of the stuff that I create is for the stories that I write.  This might have something to do my creations always dealing with family.  Ever notice that movies and stories have family members in them? To the left is a typical character set that I create in either Poser 2010 or DAZ Studio 4.  The example was created in DAZ Studio 4. I uploaded the morph set to Sharecg since I wanted to share it with the community.  The set can be downloaded from http://www.sharecg.com/v/60306/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/Tallas-Family-Genesis

I will be trying an experiment to see if I can keep up a journal on my current projects in the world of 3D. I can only work on these projects on the weekends in between the list of errands that have to be accomplished on those same days.

On this page I will post a few samples of my past projects and accomplishments. January 2012 is half over and I already have several irons in the fire as the old expression goes.

This is Anna Mia which I based LOOSELY around the anime style since I am a fan of anime and manga.  Saiunkoku is my favorite anime/manga out of all the ones that I have come across so far.  I created the morph in Poser 2010 in November 2011.  She is one of my practice pieces that turned out well enough so I uploaded the morph to sharecg. 

Currently I don't charge for the stuff I post to Sharecg since I am still in the learning stage and my stuff is less than perfect.  The stuff I do is generally basic in nature.

The morph is for the DAZ figure Kids 4.  You can download the morph at:

This is Antoonia my all time favorite figure that I created in Poser 2010. 

I have always liked a model that has generous curves, not the real skinny ones that the modeling world uses.  I know that my figure does not look like those people on the runway.  Guess Antoonia would never get a job in the modeling world.

I created the Antoonia morph using the Victoria/Aiko 4 base Figure from DAZ.

She can be downloaded from sharecg:

Skiing....I am not fond of the cold. Spent a few weeks in Alaska during the summer months and almost froze to death. Anything above 75F is consider to be freezing for those of us who live in the TROPICS.

Making a little Progress as I learn new techniques in Poser 7.

If I were living on the mainland where there are REAL stores to shop from then I'd choose Deviant art otherwise I gotta have amazon just to order normal things that can't be found locally.

This poem is dedicated to those who have an autoimmune disease, or even a chronic condition. It is not an easy thing to live with while trying to live a normal life. Many people struggle for years trying to comprehend what is wrong with them before being diagnosed, even then their journey is just beginning. The most scariest part is not knowing what is wrong.


Of Dysfunction

I am not a disease
I am not a dysfunction
I am not a syndrome

I am a human being
With real emotions and needs

I refuse to pay heed
To the numerous statistics
To the negativity quotes
That others like to tote

This may leave an impression
For I feel no such depression
Even in the middle of a recession

Though others may say with surprise
Depression, isolation are apart of the symptom

Where is it written?
Upon what stone tablet of life?

I live life as I choose
Not as others say

The path I walk is far from easy
There are the doubters
There are the avoiders
There are rumors
There are burdens

In the early years, it is hard to prove
There is no easy, instant diagnosis
There is no cure
The cause is unknown
Though may theories abound


As the years go by,
There is a new symptom
And a new term to learn

Chronic fatigue
A fancy term
For an old friend called exhaustion
Lingering as a cloud
Weighing down everyday
While life goes on
Working, cleaning, paying bills
Learning to work around this permanent visitor

Ah, this disease
Instead of defending against unwanted invaders,
Has gone to war against the defenders,
Causing civil war and chaos
Destroying tissue

Picking apart our lives
Changing perceptions
Focusing on smaller, obtainable goals
Forget about what could be done yesterday,
Focus on what is obtainable today

Don’t fall into the pit of despair
Fill the void with Light
Learn to laugh at yourself
Savor the moments spent with friends
Forget what others whisper in the shadows

Yes, we are use to looks of disbelief
Yes, we have heard the rumors

Who says that there is age limit?
Where was that rule written again?
May I take a look at your sources?
What makes the speaker such an expert?
Have you walked a mile in my shoes?
Why should I feel bitter at the world?

When was the last time you looked at the wonders in the world and was glad that you were alive?
I have tasted mortality at a young age and learned that I have few regrets with my life.

It's great fun to have an extra long weekend. The downside is the work that piles up, sitting there patiently waiting on my desk, until I get back to work. As for getting use to the daily grind, sad to say that it took less than a day. My days are pretty much the same. The only real thing that changes...is the weather outside and even that stays the same most of the year. We only get 2 months of winter then it's back to the, same old same.

Updated Janurary 2nd 2010....These are free for anyone to use. The only thing that I ask is please don't link directly to my work.

At the moment I am concentrating on the 1st season, before those that were introduced in the 2nd season. In the near future...if my talent cooperates, I will be doing a family group of Shouka, his wife, and Shuurie as a child. Also Ryuuki and Sein as children. I think they were cute.

Went ahead and re-vamped these guys. The first batch was too small for the detail work I like to entail in my projects. The downside of being a perfectionist, I guess. I sometimes hate my talent for it is a fickle thing, when I have the time to do things, it’s on vacation somewhere else. When I am busy with work and a thousand other demands on my time, that’s when it decides to come for a visit.
