I can't quite figure out how to post my images properly. I'm linking to Photobucket at the moment
but the thumbnail in the list isn't showing, just a squiggle. If anyone can give me advice I'd welcome it, cheers.
Aha! You have to submit entry to get your images to show properly. Now I know

I've not been much of a visitor to CG Society and the quantity of my gallery additions has been limited. This is because I'm learning my craft and much of my work isn't up to the standard I want to acheive. However this work can be counted as a series of valuable stepping stones in my goal for artistic excellence.
Expect more from me, and soon.
Mood for the day - Very optimistic.

It's been a while. I have been very busy, however. Over at ImagineFX they have a Collaborative Daily Sketch Challenge, where you have to sketch or work on a piece of artwork, every single day. Trust me this is not easy. Then again it's not as hard as I thought either. As an artist I feel I've improved tremendously by participating. It was this challenge where I conjured my vampiress character, Madgenta. If you're kind enough to look at my portfolio, expect to see her quite a lot.
Mood for the day- optimistic.

Oh deary me. How wrong can one be! I thought my Medusa was sooo good when I finished it, the only problem was I hadn't, and it wasn't. I don't think I could see the wood for the trees, so to speak, or more appropriately, the snakes. She crashed and burned in the Ancient Greece challenge and despite a few folk liking her she got a right caning in the 2D gallery here, star wise. Oh well, back to the drawing board. One day I may add colour, but I'm probably better learning my lesson and moving on.
Mood for the day - down.

I added Medusa to my gallery. This is the uncoloured version. I'm going to have a bash at adding colour this weekend, because I have to post the final version, to the Finals thread of the MYFX Nov 2008 challnge, by the end of Sunday. I like the monochrome version and to be honest I worked that long on those snakes I just want to start a new image...namely Steampunk.
One of my pals from IFX, SkekTek, was kind enough to network with me so I'm starting to feel at home here at CG Society.
Mandana has also networked with me, which made me very happy.
A big hello to Mohsen The Persian Miniaturist, the friendliest guy on the site.
