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!
Rod

Most awwwwwwesome, each segment is so creative and professional my friend. I enjoy the plane view with additional passengers. I see they have the most recent issue of Poser Gurlz mag. AR is going to have a blast driving that ride, but hope the Camero Tina gave her is faster. G4 see me to love their nice room, hope it's not bugged. Waiting to see how this story develops. Great job my friend and hope the best for you on them tests. Went to the ER myself yesterday, had a large abscess that was giving me issues.

Hernia? what in heck did you do! Yick, I hate hospitals. Good luck in there, and with your tests.
Don't rush these, they're worth the wait. Nellis eh? Reminds me of Fallout new Vegas dodging artillery lol. I like the magazine cover, nice touch. And don't hit me but for some strange reason this made me think of Three's Company. I have no excuse.

Fabulous work on this set of images! Love the sign on image two (Acme Rentals)and license plate on the car! Great lighting and posing on this page! It was great talking to you tonight. I wish you the very best on your up-coming surgeries. Have a wonderful weekend and try to stay sane.

really a very detail and superbly composed scene and poses. the ladies are looking fine as always
anahata.c
the sewer chapter was back before RR allowed large uploads: You were complaining about that awful 512 KB limit! With all the bad stuff from the "change" here, the large upload limits were a great addition, weren't they! Anyway, man you know how to compose a frame, and forward a story. And btw, one of the joys of coming here is seeing the great comments you get, and all the buzz and energy you create, and how others riff off your creations. I too loved the Acme Rentals (cartoonist bows to cartoonist) and the license plate bow to Steve. Your plane frame is really fine composition; and you highlighted the mag in just the right proportions (not to take over the shot, but be sure it has its day). Love the details on the other characters too. And that lady on the right is wearing one tight dress! She's gonna have to squeeze outa that plane! You're also expert at posing your characters as ensembles. They're always in-relation. Of course, you begin with the line "Now we can pick up where we left off---without any interference!" Riiiiiiiiiight. Not in this saga they wont...
Ar's colors are fine contrasts to G's. And fine angles on frame two. (Rod the photographer at work.) Same, frame 3---in fact, that's a wonderfully composed frame. Angles, play of the furniture, the deep reds, the wonderful sunset and buildings peeking through, the suitcases, etc. Really finely done.
4 is cloistered, by comparison; the call from the woman in hq (yes?), as the next part of the story is being revealed. And the last one, as always, prepares us for the next perilous journey. I was studying G4 in the bottom frame: Really complex poses you get, as people are speaking to each other. It strikes me that many Poser pieces are "posed" one way or the other; but, because your characters are speaking dialogue, you have to adjust the pose to their thoughts, interactions, etc; and she really is in the middle of relating...it's subtle, but real, with her right hand up like that, turned to Ar, etc. And I can appreciate the many layers of light and shadow in these, even though I don't do 3D. Then, even touches like the bright blue in the left-hand window---I really like that. Another terrific chapter, Rod.
I wish you everything in the world with your doctors' apptmts. It looks like you're gonna have those procedures no matter what the tests show...if so, I wish you all the best with them, Rod. They can be very routine, and I hope they are. And if they can do laparoscopic, all the better. Medical stuff is a real intrusion, and we should be paid for going through it: We should be allowed to bill the cosmos for poor workmanship. I hope your tests tell you that you're in great shape; 'cause if your body's like your mind and spirit, you should live to 800. All the best on it all!
RodS
Hehe.... 800........ I'm on track to beat Yoda's record....
Daddywolf
With This Chapter it should Be called the Girls from T.M.A ouch!glad your having them done at once that way they can bill the insurance twice for the same supplies.
MineFujiko
Lovely work, RodS-san!

I suppose sewer swimming is something one NEVER forgets. :D
Great to see G4 and Ar back on the beat and looking fab as usual.
Will have to dispatch the nurses when you have those procedures, Rod. Try to take it easy in the meantime. :)

Didn't remember the sewer scene..Thanks for having a link..Nasty stuff.
Congrats once again on a fantastic segment...

Oh, nuts! anahata.c just outdid me! Stole my thunder - gack! So you'll just have to read his comments twice, and pretend the second time round is me commenting! Isn't it a bummer to have a pro delivering your speech? Well, one thing he can't best me on is - DARN! I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT INSTALLMENT COMES! Glad to hear they're doing both operations at the same time. You only go in for surgery once. And it may be endoscopic surgery (peep hole type) which saves you a lot of recovery time, as well as pain. SO, all the best! I doubt they would let you bring your computer - to great a risk for theft. Keep us posted! And, maybe you may keep those gall stones for a necklace or bracelet (provided they are mineral and NOT cholesterol = yellow, rubbery).

Oh my God. The magazine knocked me flat on my butt right from the start! Gorgeous work with these scenes, Rod!!! The airplane scene especially because it put me right there with them and I've never been on a plane. Best wishes and fast calendar flips for putting the medical issues behind you!!!!
Windigo
Superb work! Can't blame Ar for wondering about the chance of another sewer escapade! :)

I saw a copy of Poser Girlz on the plane. First class section no doubt. Looks like there will be a close encounter with this chapters antagonist very soon.

Ya did good and my prayers are with you. I had a Hernia and a TURP operation at the same time and survived. I suspect the Pancreas is a lot more serious. I know mine is shot, hence the diabetic problems. Your TNA girls are in more trouble he he he (evil laugh) though it cost me some cash to get G4 stuff and there was not much to choose from still on DAZ perhaps on Rendo there are some items that will help me hunt your girls down, so eekdog can feature there risen dead corpses on his mag cover....(evil laugh). That aside I continue to be a fan (box type non oscillating)

Excellent story board!! Wonderful and creative work! Love the girls! Favorite!

I love the attention you pay to detail. The way you've posed both their feet are just right for shoes/no shoes. Bare feet on the chair legs, heels on the floor. That sort of thing comes from your keen powers of observation. (aka ooogling the women at work ... shame on you!) :P
Oh, btw ... Family Tree Maker has rolled over into Ancestry.com, and everything is on the web now. Bill was a bit miffed at first, but after using it for five minutes or so, he loves the new system.
