    Glad it's nothing serious, Maya.
    I have the highest regards for Gidgit and all the moderators here at TG. It's not an easy job, settling disputes and moderating posts without creating bad feelings to those involved...
    I think I'll limit my time in front of the PC. My eyes really need a break.
    I don't know how you people manage to play with all those softwares you have. Richard, specially. How do you find the time to use all those stuff ? Here I am with my meager softwares and I already feel I'm spreading myself too thin...

Am I old fashioned ... or were the Middle Ages a lot more exciting than I thought?
    Ah Ed, you have such a way with words!!
    Thanks for all your comments! Thanks also for the chuckles -- yeah, the Middle Ages were apparently a great deal more exciting than the dirty, brutish, and life-shortening era we've been taught of by the public education system it would seem, especially upon reflection of the modellers' creations... ...an outfit as skimpy as this one would perhaps have to be endowed with magical powers or she's gonna get some scratches for sure! But I've got some good ol' frumpy armor I can put her in, too, that really looks like it would do a proper job. The whole Joan of Arc job.
    This was fun though.

    You can ask gidget (James) why they want me gone.

    Thanks Grafixman!
    I know what you mean,too, with all the apps there are to use = and how to find the time...my time, like everyone's, is pretty limited for doing artwork. With work, housekeeping, husband/family, pets, and other errands to do constantly...but somehow I find a few moments here and there to work with digital apps, but it's not easy.

    Thanks Richard, too! I also got my copy of P6 yesterday afternoon and have started experimenting with it -- some great improvements! (I also got the free copy of Shade7 3d modeling app and the Winter Queen extras with P6 ) I haven't had any troubles yet in using the P5 Runtime within P6, also love the rendering and new lighting - WOW! Hope to try it all out more thoroughly and post something soon.
    Glad you got moved into your new place -- didn't know about the counter resurfacing method, the almond color sounds great! Will email to ya soon with the links to the 3d lighting tut (it's C4D but you can use the method with Poser and other 3D apps)and that really excellent book on the whole topic.
    Thanks again!

    Thanks guys for giving this pic a look (for shame for shame, it's Poser, though, huh? -- lol -- I've happily got no shame/reputation to protect then!) Gees, I'm glad I gave Poser a try -- would be kicking myself now if I hadn't, or scorned it!

    Yep, this scene may be the start of an illustrated storyline. Would be a fantastic way to publish a beautifully illustrated book. Something like this could also be animated to film projects...

    Hey Mike! Yep, the cyc is pretty cool!

    Hi Grafixman! Everything is fine -- some disputes was all, regarding giving crits/suggestions, gidgit (james) stepped in to moderate and edited one of my posts and one of the other person's, but my feeling that my crits/views weren't welcome on that thread I pulled all my posts off that person's thread entirely by my own decision -- gidgit wasn't the one who did that. I just didn't want to cause anymore disharmony there with my "views".

    James/gidgit is a wonderful person. So that's all over with.

    I'm not going anywhere!

    Jump in here and join us with the 3D! I've been preoccupied today as my copy of Poser6 has finally arrived and I've installed it and have found it is really fantastic with the improvments and far beyond what I even expected! It's like a whole new app and so many wonderful new ways to do better lighting etc. On top of that some extremely kind member on another forum got me in touch with some wonderful tutes on c4d (by Carles Piles) lighting methods and directed me also to a fantastic book all about expert digital lighting and fx --- so I've ordered the book and just have been busy with all that good stuff. Will share more regarding those things soon. Thanks for your reply!

    Thanks so much for those kind words, Bruce! How's the 3D and Xara art coming along -- we are hoping to see more of your works here soon too. Especially enjoyed that King Kong work! Very cool!
