I&#8217;ve been using programs like Poser and Daz3d for nearly fifteen years and honestly it feels like the technology has finally caught up to what I see in my head. It helps that my main PC can now render a photo in anywhere between fifteen minutes to about an hour.  I now get immediate results and can see somebody&#8217;s hand is phasing through their stomach in under five minutes, while during those first years it could take over a day before I realized something went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, I started to dabble with watercolors here and there, although I have always had to deal with a bit of a tremor in my hands.  That tends to cause a little anxiety putting brush to a clean, expensive piece of paper, but I don&#8217;t let that hold me back, though.  I find that watercolors are a little more forgiving if I accidentally go outside the lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the art styles I enjoy don&#8217;t stop there.  Several years ago I started making bonsai trees and flower trees using stone chips and wire.  It&#8217;s been a while but I also enjoy wood carving and making walking sticks, embellished with copper wiring and quartz crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, I also write and create video games, but those have their own categories in this blog.  This area will be dedicated to my visual arts, and as I experiment with new mediums or delve deeper into my chosen areas of expertise, I will be posting new entries under this heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My styles of art I enjoy a number of different mediums for expressing my creativity.
