Hi all, I'm not always on DA everyday, and I get requests from people who want to use my work in their own projects.  Just in case you want to use something and I haven't gotten back to you about it yet, here's a basic set of "rules".

1. DeviantArt members are granted permission to use any of my works in their own projects. This includes prints and merchandise options on DeviantArt.  The only thing I ask, is that your final image be significantly different than my original. Don't just slap a filter on the image and upload it as your own for example.

2. Do NOT sell my images as your own. 

3. As long as your image is significantly different than my original, you may sell prints of your image based on mine,  outside of DeviantArt as well.

4. Credits are really nice, and I enjoy seeing what others have done with my works. As a courtesy, I politely request that people credit me, link to the original, and send me a link to their finished image.  Just a request, I won't hunt you down and murder your family in their sleep if you don't do that.

That's pretty much it. I'm easy-going when it comes to this stuff. As long as you aren't blatantly stealing the images to profit from, it's generally OK.

I'm uploading some new screenshot art from games.  I'm putting them in the "Fan Art/Wallpaper" category rather than 3D Art this time. I don't think anyone should have issues with that.

I've got several new DAZ Reality renders queued up right now. Most, if not all of them should end up on my DA page when they're done. I've got 2 that are really slowing down the process by having complex things in them like mirrors, or low light levels.  There's a few really simple pinups as well where I was playing with DOF, blurred backgrounds, IBL and things like that.

Unless I change my mind and give it up again for awhile, expect them in the next few days.  If anyone actually reads these journals of course...

I'm winding down on the DAZ Studio art. Got a few more projects that need to render and then I'll probably take a break for awhile.   My Battlefield 3 habit has picked up again, so I want to spend more time playing that.

Maybe when the weather starts cooling down again here later in the year I might try to get some more photography done.

As always, we'll see how things go.

I'm full on into another DAZ/POSER kick again.  Spent a bunch of money on new things to play with.  Loving the Reality 2.5 plug in.  I can't ever go back to built in renderers for DAZ Studio again.
Currently my art focus is inspired by vintage nude photography from the 1970's and 1980's.   I'm hoping to recreate the feel of that era in my renders. Stay tuned.
