I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!

Excellent! The Girls new toy is paying for itself big time. Hope they are in time to save the diner and Felecita.

Well done!

DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! QUICK! Somebody get out there and help Felecita! Cool work here as always Rod. Superb poses and sets. I have a RC helicopter. Got it cheap of the Ebay. Don't know about quads but one thing I DO know is the single rotor copters are hard to control. Haven't spent enough time with it yet to master it. I think I need a tall launch point so I can get off the ground without crashing, lol.
RodS
Yeah - considering it takes 2 hands and 2 feet to fly a real chopper, I can imagine it being a challenge just getting off the ground... The quads have counter-rotating props so you don't have the torque issues to deal with as with a single-rotor.

LOL.. great story...as soon as I got to Mr Pigg's lines and started reading....I was thinking in piggspeak!!.. talk about getting immersed in the story! Anyway, nasty chap isn't he....deserves to a baconer, and I'm sure the girls will oblige if they can catch him, in the meantime Joey is going to get a lot more than he bargained for!.. That Phantom 2 looks pretty wicked... I can see youtube is going to graced with all manner of footage soon!!

OMG!!!!!!!..... someone is about to get their butt seriously kicked!!!!... I know Trish and Rico,...and all the others are more than willing to lend a hand in helping Felecita out!! poor bad guys they won't know what hit them!!! Well actually they will, because they are going to be hit by it a whole bunch of times.. This page is awesome!! I love how this page came out, I'm now on the edge of my seat waiting for the next page.. You know you should put that Qaudcopter in the free stuff... I'd like to get one... I know after this Ranpha's going to want to do some upgrade... Outstanding work!
RodS
Actually, I plan on making a few improvements to it, and putting it in the free stuff area. Coming soon.. I can just imagine what Ranpha could do with one of these! :-D

I never liked working nights, but what ever it takes to survive. outstanding story and illustrations. if I was to fly a remote control chopper here, someone would probably shoot it
RodS
Sounds like a rough neighborhood, Richard! Maybe you need one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmKdA6L_MWk

Great work, RodS-san!

Wow the work in this is amazing. You did an excellent job on making that quadcopter and nice touch doing a little render of Ar to put on the laptop screen. A very nice detail and thought. Excellent renders and prop and scene setups. I like the close up of your copter over the 'burbs. Awesome work. And for the story, the girls are lucky they listened in when they did. It'll be good to know the Joey's butt will be well kicked. I hope they recorded that conversation. Just more evidence against Slickie and the Pigg. Awesome work.

Outstanding work on this one Rod Glad to hear you're surviving the Z-Shift (sounds better than Zombie shift where I want to load up the Crossbow with some serious Zombie bolts) thanks for the link I may want to save up my money for one of these just so I can track the Zombies

My great grandfather was JP Pigg. He ran a newspaper in Missouri. Oh, and btw. Its MY desert. buddy! You could have just asked me. ;}~ Lol. True about my great g-pa. Another great chapter. Hope you get off the dead shift soon. We need the story now that you have us caught. ")
EmmaAndJordi
Very fun! :D

I thought of getting one of those with the remote camera on it. But too expensive. I got a RC HELI sitting in my storage shed. Wonder if the battery on it is still good....

This is really awesome artwork Rod, I allways love your story telling images Rod.

Excellent details and scenes! I gave my husband one of those remote control helicopters for Christmas and he crashed it, LOL!

Fabulous and fantastic creation/composition !!!

That is one great toy they have. Better get out and take care of Mr P before he hurts Felicia.

Always a treat for the eyes...each and every page...the girls....the dialogue...the rendering (clarity, sharpness, shadows, light, all the wonderful props). Who can ask for anything more? See I am even breaking out in song:-)

Great story in words and pics, Rod! Yes, Archive.3D Net is a "goldmine" of all kinds of handy props. Nightshifts is some hell, I worked as a nightwatch when I at the same time had my small business with a travelling theater, playing for kids around in Denmark. i Managed to live like this only one and a half year. Later, cleaning job from 6 a.m., playing for kids at 11 a.m. and finaly my third job from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Crazy..Now as 60 I'm happy to only have 30 hours a week and three days off..
Foink
Totally outstanding work Rod. Very enjoyable cliff hanger...It'll be cool to see what happens next. Keep up the great work!!!

The camera view is quite a piece of work here, Big Bro! Love the story and conversation too. This must have taken a lot of time to work on, it's always fun to read your TNA series.
