(2004; Poser 4 and 5)

Inspired by Sandy Skoglund's 1980 "set-up" photograph of the same name which you can see on her site.

Her cats were moulded in plaster and "posed" with two of her neighbours - but this seemed an ideal subject for 3D graphics.

In an infinite universe, everything that is possible is not merely likely, it is compulsory. You've heard of Ringworld, you've heard of Discworld, maybe you know about Dyson spheres; now see Cubeworld...

The personal shuttlecraft of the Grand Nxgd of Wrqkmzj approaches the fabled freeport of Cubeworld. If you can't buy it here, it doesn't exist.

See a close-up of cubeworld here.

An enquiry into the nature of human perception.

She came to me on the down escalator
She left me by the same means
It was a brief encounter.
She saw nobody
I saw nobody else...

Stephanie 1, with Aino texture by Eowyn, and Flo Hair by me and Heidi; clothes by Jim Burton, shops by Lee Alverson and escalator by Arc; lighting by Traveler; postwork in Paint Shop Pro.

(2004; Poser 4, Paint Shop Pro 7 and Virtual Painter)

Inspired by The Missing Man by Jack Vettriano, one of my favourite artists. I've not gone for an exact copy, just tried to capture the composition and feel.

There's a bigger version here. (1280 x 960, 143KB)

Low resolution Vickis and Mike; clothes from PoserWorld, ISOP and standard P4; umbrellas by Teppan; DAZ flip hair; male hair remap by Kozaburo. Considerable compositing and postwork in Paint Shop Pro 7, including the Virtual Painter oil paint plug-in.

(2003; Poser 4)

There was some discussion about the "Instant Photorealistic Art" button that some Poser users seem to wish for; then photorealism was the subject for a contest at Cybernetic Bumper Breath. So I decided to see what I could get by using readily available items without really trying too hard. :-)

Compare with the Poser 3 version, further down the page...

There's a bigger version here, which weighs in at 1536 x 1024, 156KB.

Vicki 3; SteffyZZ's Yuma texture converted by Universal Texture Convertor; Kozaburo's Kyoko mark 3 hair; background and lights by Traveler. Straight Poser 4 render to TIFF, composited with the background in Paint Shop Pro, no other postwork.

They say that rebellion sometimes skips a generation. Whatever, this young lady seems to have found something amusing in her grandmother's photo album...

Old woman by Kathy Predmore, Amanda by Balazs Javor; Clothes from BAT labs, Billy-T, ISOP, Naoki, PoserWorld and Serge Marck; Hair by Kozaburo; Props by DAZ3D, Ed Baumgarten, PoserWorld, Tony Lynch and TrekkieGrrrl.

I saw this pose in print somewhere, and thought it would be a good test for my newly acquired Victoria 3.

Warning: this image features a woman with no clothes on. You can't see anything, but if you're opposed to nudity, don't look. ;-)

Vicki 3 by DAZ3D; texture by SteffyZZ; hair by Studio Maya; cloth drape by Palmiro Martínez Arias; lighting preset by Traveler.

No guardian angel intercepts the
Sleepwalkin' kid
Who sleepwalks the fractured steps
To the sleepwalking skids

It's a portrait...

DAZ's Stephanie with Helen Duggan's "Vanity" texture (but my head shape). Hair from Schwarzkopf Hair Stylist, finished in Paint Shop Pro.

(2002; Poser 4 and Paint Shop Pro 7)

A comic book splash page. The tag line was inspired by the ones you can generate on this page: They Fight Crime!, but is an original work.

Clothes: PoserWorld; Hair: Kozaburo; Background: Alverson Fantasy Art

(2001; Poser 4 and Paint Shop Pro 7)

Named after the song by Kirsty MacColl.

My lover looked into my eyes and
I could tell by his surprise
it was not me he saw in there but Celestine

Tight dress and classic suit by Steve Shanks and Renapd (PoserWorld); Hair by Kozaburo; background image by Absolute Cross.

(2001; Poser 3)

Made for the PFO image challenge of the same name.

Polly (Victoria/Posette hybrid) by WarriorDL; sweater made from parts by by TwoSword and Steve Shanks; boots made from parts by Plazio and Steve Shanks.

(2001; Poser 3, Microsoft Word and Paint Shop Pro)

Just a bit of friendly rivalry. :-)

Hair: Kozaburo; Clothes: ISO; hatchets: DAZ3D; Background: 3D Café.

(2001; Poser 3 and Paint Shop Pro)

Pushing the boundaries - showing that Victoria can be made to work in Poser 3. Kozaburo's Wave Hair is normally transmapped, but Poser 3 has no transparency - so the hair was faked post-render by combining a hairless render with one which had opaque hair.

Other credits: skin texture by Eowyn, sweater from DAZ3D, Nerd's backdrop.

(2001; Poser 3)

An exercise in high contrast and sharp shadows; the title is taken from the lyrics of White Room by Cream.

Window by Ian Grey.

(2001; Poser 3)

This was made to try out the Nerd's backdrop prop, and the roadside photo is one of those that came with it. The Harley is by Questor; Ray-Bans by Greg Crowfoot; jacket by Steve Shanks, texture by Tygerlander; jeans texture adapted from one by Ståle Loseth; and the boots are part Steve Shanks, part Plazio and a little bit mine. Face morphs by Reed Waller and Duane Moody; hair by Jeff Howarth. Her T-shirt reads "If I fall off, it's 'cuz the b*****d pushed me off".

(2001; Poser 3, Amorphium 1 and Vue 2)

(2001; Poser 3 and Vue 2)

Inspired by Procol Harum's Pandora's Box (yes, them again!) - and nothing to do with Led Zeppelin.

Pegasus posed in Poser 3; Staircase by Curt "Trimax" Barrett

(2001; Poser 3 and Vue 2)

Inspired by the story The Garden of TIme by J.G.Ballard.

No mortal place at all."
