                <description><![CDATA[ I remember when I started doing 3d, how the whole concept of artwork done entirely on a pc seemed foreign. My fam was never rich, so my first pc, rather a device with a keyboard and a mouse, seemed to arrive when I was in Jr. High. How my plans of being an architect took a dramatic change when there was a mix up in my High School schedule causing me to take programming, rather than French 2. Random events to some, but everything fits into place like pieces to a puzzle. I'm taking this time as a moment of reflection, judging my progress, and solidifying a direction. <br />
<br />
I plan on really getting off my butt and getting a lot more stuff done and posted for review, something said before, I'm sure, but just roll with me. As I said before, I recall when I started, making stuff from Zelda (the video game), taking the specs and modeling the gamecube, one of my very first models posted. I made it to the plateau that I sought after, becoming a decent artist in the process. So now it's time to re-introduce myself. <br />
<br />
Naturally, I pondered creating a new name, persona, whatnot, but in contemplation, this is me. Yea somethings are crappy, and will probably get deleted, nevertheless, its all part of the process. For all the newcomers, beginning artists, we all have to start somewhere. <br />
<br />
I can't go any farther without mentioning my on line friends, hmmm, scratch that, my family. <br />
<br />
Digital aka Dirty ~  : thumb dgtabyss98:<br />
Mainasha aka ree (she likes it) ~ : thumb mainasha:<br />
CaramelKitteh aka Cara ~ : thumb caramel-kitteh:<br />
Shavetta (iono what name she's using now...) ~  : thumb shavetta:<br />
<br />
oh people not listed, just you wait...muhahahah  <br />
<br />
<br />
So to wrap this up, I'm Chris aka Niti; I'm redefined...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I took a hiatus from DA, not as so much this particular site, but the chaos of being online in general. I wish there was something really deep or inspired to say, but, there isn't. Anyway, I'll try to post some new stuff and update you all..........whoever's reading............soon enough........<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <b> "More refreshing than getting that past due bill paid in full" </b><br />
<br />
Yea yeah, I've been away for a while, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, umm, yea, so they say....<br />
<br />
....Anyway, I've been on an artistic hiatus, absorbing other styles, forms, and ways to express ones inner being. I must say I'm very blessed in life from job to friends, which always seem to be there for input and insight. As for my 3D passion, it's still there, naturally, but I'm working to move past the technical aspects of modeling and lighting to a more purely asthetic emotional vibe. Long story short, less eyecandy, I never said that I would stop all eyecandy. <br />
<br />
As far as work, hummm, it's work. Sadly there have been times which have caused for some shortcuts or sup par models, but thats to be expected when the rules or 3 apply. (for the ones that don't know, in 3D, you can have 2 of the following three things, <i> speed, quality,  and/or cheep.</i>  <br />
<br />
<br />
To my inner circle that continues to hold me down without limitation, much love. <br />
<i>these ladies are close like my sisters...<br />
:mainasha:  - Madly talented artist able to sketch the hell outta anything<br />
:solglo: - "Clowns hate tangelos"...so she says<br />
:jazz-chan: - visually so freaking cute......*shaking head*<br />
**and the person that was telling me how to put people's icons in journal entries........just wave and smile...*shaking head*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've been MIA for a while huh, well I've been busy on the real, so please forgive me if I've neglected some things. So for all that are concerned, lemmie recap this joint.<br />
<br />
Work - I've taken a job in North Atlanta, Advanced Graphics Director, not bad for a self taught country boy from Mississippi. But it's a joy to do what you enjoy doing and getting a nice check for it. Only negative side would be having to sometimes release something that doesn't meet my standards just to get the project done. All in all, that's life I suppose. <br />
<br />
Home - Connected with the whole job thing is getting used to this traffic, I mean when it rains in atlanta, people loose their dayum minds. Aside from that, it's a pleasure to call this my home.<br />
<br />
Connections - I can never forget my friends and associates that have been there to critique my work till it wasn't anything left. These people have made me stronger and a much better artist than I could have become on my own. I'm still working on the animated shot, Grass Stains, and with my new connections in the ATL, well I may have a much larger stage to show it on. Also working on a new concept, can't tell you much because it's really diffrent.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope to post some things more regularly, no comment on how to define regular. lol<br />
Much love to all.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ ..::.. Work <br />
I've been very busy recently with art projects, education, and basically real life. I've been working on the Bathroom render, as well as a patio project (renders to come soon), so my reality sadly involves UV mapping and Lighting Setups. Along with work, I'm also planning a personal project, my personal demo reel v.3. Sadly v.1 turned out like crap, so I remixed it with v.2, which was very much an improvement, but still, it's not what I would use to identify myself. <br />
<br />
..::.. Life <br />
Recently I've had the pleasure to talk with some new peeps online, oddly, some of which I've known and admired, but never actually sat down and chatted. First to mind, JazzyChan, so cool, and somewhat erratic, so naturally we vibe. Next up, my new homegirl aNgLnDiSgUyZz (please note that she isn't on DA), but that means nothing to me, as well as a few other peeps. Sorry of you've been neglected in IMs, but you know how it is. Oddly, why is it that women cannot believe that there are brothas out here that can cook, and yes, I mean cook?<br />
<br />
...::.. Circle<br />
I want to give much much love to Main (ree ree) who's about to leave and go study the arts, imma miss her like my right arm. Solglo, never forget the shopping list, enigmatic?? Jade, always always a written piece that is out of this world. Candy.....ya need to get online more, dayumit ! And being that I'm getting tired of typing, and need to get back to work...much love to all ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sometimes you have to approach things from a diffrent perspective, other times you just have to be a determined person and plow through you problem. <br />
<br />
Things with me have been really chaotic lately; work, home, something of a social life, it's wild. I've also been neglecting some 3D work too, spending too much time editing video and stuff, but you do what you must to pay the bills. If you peep the scraps section you'll see I've reworked the boy character from the up and comming grass stains movie.......release date....we don't even know. Socially, I'm single, "single file ladies, single file lines", *tumbleweed blows*. Nevertheless I'm working on yet another story I plan on making into a CG movie later, so keep your heads up on that one. <br />
<br />
Aces are a pleasure to have, to which I send special love to Arie, Vetta, and Brittney....again, Niti's angels, and artistic triple threat. I'd also like to send love to Jazz-Chan who has some cool art, I'm a fan no less. Candybeytch, simply raw, uncensored, hotness !! ]]></description>

<br />
Aside from that, my life is quite busy  now, so imma get back to Suki's model  very soon. Dayum it, where are all the  3D artist hiding out in DA? I'm  wondering if finding a sista creating  3D art is nothing more than a myth?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I know some people are like, "huh", at  my subject line. Haven't you all seen  the commercials on TV where the actor  shows a product, then drops the line,  "with a low risk of sexual side  effects". I find this oddly funny. I  mean c'mon, you can use this in  everyday conversation; "Hi" - "yea, I'm  doing fine today......with a low risk  of sexual side effects". Meet a sexy  lady, "Dayum gurl you fine......and you  look to have a low risk of sexual side  effects".....ehh, maybe it's just me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I must give DA a shoutout for  the full subscription trial thing, may  persuade me to actually pay for  this....*blank stare*...umm, yea. But I  must give a shout out to a member I  just ran onto, Gemini-Fire-Rabbit, who  has major talent, but I'm really  feeling the concept art.......which  while I'm here, I must let people know  I have a new piece in the  scrapbook....being a WIP, i put it  there.....sadly, most people won't see  it...but back to the rant. I would also  like to give a hug to Mainasha, who is  like the artist render farm I wish i  had. To "V", tha girl is still fine as  hell !! (hope her man doesn't see that)  ....muhahahahahah. Jade, my girl is  doing her thing in writting fire time  and time again. Umm, Imma stop there,  but I have some friends that will  really threaten me for not saying  anything about em..............ooh  well.......oh, and waves at  candyb...you need more art girl !!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

---> I have a friend thats a mechanic,  and we discusses what seperates a  hobbist from a professional, to which  we resolved "passion". That something  that makes you strive to do your best,  then take that best to your worst,  which means you struggle even more. Not  for fame or recoginition, but the  reality of just what is. <br />
---? As with everything, I'm still  developing, and while I'm no 3D pro,  I've moved more to technique and less  on application. I've been doing alot of  work on atmospheric lighting. More to  come, be patient. ]]></description>

  Being I've been offline more than  I've been on recently, I've discovered  that my online friends are sadly more  valuable than the real life  counterparts? Is this the new reality?  That my friends will be a collection of  ones and zeros as well as the digital  reality that I encounter on a daily  basis? <br />
  I've also posted the SHORT part 1 of  "Inner Workings". Which was inspired by  my angelic friend Mainasha, who  contends to say I have  issues.....c'mon? Needless to say, part  1 is short, but a good intro, as it may  be, hope you all enjoy. <br />
  And uhh, Bannana Butterstick ! Imma  get you on this name change thing...... ]]></description>

Yea, been a good min since I've been on  here doing anything, but I've been  working my a** off, then tie that with  making a demo reel, and you have a  recipe for chaos.  But it's always good  to get some good art to lift your  spirits. So, as seen before, I'm  putting Jazz-Chan on the front burner.  Furry characters plus a slight sexual  overtone......works everytime. Makes me  wanna draw some characters...I'll  ofcouse spare you horror of doing that.  So humm, maybe, when sanity returns  I'll model something. ]]></description>

<br />
Artistic .:: Practicing 2D brushing and  shapes in Photoshop, being I'm not  really satisfied with the brushing in  the last abstract piece I created. I've  been doing researching some of Dmario's  work, being I'm planning on making a  character from his gallery. But, I'm  currently working on the standard car  in 3D, something I've tip-toed around  before, but i figure now, "why not".

I've been contemplating, so I think  I'll commit to producing a new pice to  add to DA ever other week. Sounds like  a good concept, but we'll see how it  works in reality. Infact I'll even try  and take a request of something they'd  like to see taken from 2D to 3D.  (wonder how quickly this sentence will  come back and bite me in the ass) ]]></description>

   I was going to speak on a star in my  sky that is now gone, or just not in  the heavens for me to see, but after  thinking, I know I'm left with gifts  and thoughts that we shared, and a  friendship between us two. So , I  continue smiling knowning that she's in  someone else's sky, in radiance, but as  with life, our time has passed. <br />
<br />
  Being I've neglected writting in so  long why not starting back now. Things  with me have been in transition from  the point where I'm continuing to grow,  and mature as an artist. I've taken  past bits, pieces, and loose ends from  the past and merged them into what I  will succede at this year. I've had the  pleasure to meet other artists and have  been really working on defining my  style and perfecting what defines me as  a person. As some of you can see but  the music choice, I've been in a  soulful funk, not to mention really  slacking in writting. Oddly, my inner  circle would say that most of my  writting was inspired by a certain  "heavenly body", possibly, but I'll  never tell. <br />
<br />
To the people I've missed talking to, I  live in the comfort of knowing you've  still been blessed, no matter what the  situation. And if anyone is still mad,  well the reality is that my IM still  works... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yea, I'm a prefectionist, what else is  new. Things around here are the usual,  though I'm getting the chance to see  more and more of the biz. When I stop  and think about it, I'm now in that  spot where I used to see others work  and be like, "dayum, that's amazing",  so why does it still feel like you're  that stary eyed newbie wonderin how to  make glass. So as life goes, I'm trying  to do something new and father my  skills, in applying for a job at a nice  animation studio. They're not super  major or anything, but it'll be yet  another stepping stone. <br />
<br />
In the friend department, my online  sista (we're that close), Mainasha, has  posted her first flash piece. I swear  that woman has too much talent, but yet  thinks she's a second rate artist. I  THINK NOT. Along that line, the  animated movie Grass Stains will be  released sometime before Lightwave's  version is in double  digits.....possibly. I wanna give a  shout out to a special Deviant couple,  Shavetta and Whiteangel.....*teary  eyed* dem my peeps ya'll. Hummm, my  sexy friend Betsuni, iono where she  went to, but I still love her. Umm, who  have i missed? <br />
<br />
Would ramble more, but I got a woman to  rig....man that didn't come out  right.....nooooo comment ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Life's funny, and with each passing  moment, you know less of your reality.  Well, I'm not trying to be deep but  only to say the things you once thought  were a one, are then a zero....its a  binary thing? Anyway things are the  same with me, getting settled into the  new job, but realizing more of the  obvious, business is not art. It's an  understated truth I'd heard so many  time online, but it's diffrent when a  deadline surpasses quality. We've all  been there I'm certain, but it takes  it's toll, and even a bit of yourself.  Like a cheating relationship, you grow  colder to it, and find yourself  errecting a wall to prevent your work  from being stripped for the sake of a  dollar, but this is your job. I'm an  art prostitute......<br />
.....been a while since i've heard from  my best friends via IM's, but atleast I  can leave a message for them now. Ree  Ree, you know you're on my mind. You're  like my sister, and it's odd not  talking to you on the phone or IM's  during work, but just wanted to let you  know I miss ya. Vetta, *blank stare*,  pleads 5th !! Although there's been an  ironice thought that "B" may have been  right, you'll figure it out one day.  Digital, hum, he's not on DA, and needs  help, soooo, he'll be alright too. Umm,  Betsuni, my lil angel, with semi  violent...ummm.. fits....I miss you  too.....dissssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssss much. To all the peeps that  know the real Niti.  Good evening, and  goodnight. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yea, I'm still alive. News for these  that didn't know, I got a new job as a  professional 3D graphics and multimedia  artist, which is alot of work, but one  hell of a growing experience. I think  this is pretty good for someone who's  never been in any kinda formal school  for art. *thumbs up* I also wanna wish  a close friend the best of luck in the  situation she's in...*nuff said Ms.  Bannana* But as things go, I'm not  satisfied with my art, so I'm planning  on goning to Memphis College of  Art....err  somewhere.....(($$$$))...long rant  short...time to get better, and there's  no time like the present. So to all my  friends....thanks.....Ree Ree, Vetta  and Emmanuel (hope I didn't kill that  name), umm Digital, Betsuni...with her  crazy self, Brittany(rubies), Chan, and  all the countless others that I'm too  sleepy to call out......<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Where do I begin, as I sit here and sip  on a Minute Maid Fruit Punch drink..I  wonder, why am I doing this in 2nd  person? See this is what happens when  you go crazy, who knows, it may be the  first in a series of downward steps,  nevertheless, I'll continue. Yesterday  was nice, went to memphis to an  interview, which went very well if I  may say so. We discussed the usual  thing and how he, the  owner of the  comapny, was suprised that someone this  close had this much talent. So we  continued the interview, and he was  more glown away with my graphic design  abilities....which proves, naked girls  on 3D backgrounds rule the world. But  seriously, I was the idea person for  the job, although personally I think I  need to beef up on my flash skills but  I'll never tell him that...*snickers*  So long story short, he likes me and  wants to test me, being I've never  modeled based off of a CAD design, this  is what he's testing me with. Honestly,  I don't know that the hell I was  looking at, but though prayer, and yes  I do mean prayer, I now understand how  to read the jumble of lines and  squiggles. So later tonight, I'll have  to time my modeling time, and crank  this joint out. Fun! Other than this,  personal life is the same. <br />
<br />
Much love to Jade, Main, Trudy,  Shavetta, Shahara, and Jazz...ummm, and  anyone else I may miss, you know me,  I'm forget-ful ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been finding myself pushing my art  in some diffrent directions recently,  but am not yet happy with the results.  So I continue to watch, practice, and  take up the influence of my friends and  enviroment like a sponge. Not so that I  may copy what has been done, but rather  to see why things work. This is the  disection period I go through, where as  I need to process some information, and  the results are usually pretty nice.  Some may have noticed a lack of poetry,  but that doesn't mean I've stopped  writting, if anything I've been  writting more, but the bread isn't  quite ready to be removed from the  oven. <br />
<br />
      To all the new visitors on this  page, welcome, and hope you see atleast  one something you like. But being as  though I've been busy on other things,  I've not been posting as much. Who can  really blame ya though, takes time to  produce work on 3D, and that time I  usually don't have.................or  if I do, I get lazy.  I've also been  working up ideas for the LONG awaited  Niti Website, exciting I know. <br />
<br />
   People that have held me down, and  always been there for the usually round  of, "how does this look?" <br />
    <br />
 <a href="http://mainasha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/mainasha.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="mainasha" title="mainasha" /></a> she endures many many many days of  toture talking to me and listening to  me rant and rave, and act a general  fool. But she's always there, and my  ace if I need her. Amazing 2D artist  with a line of ethnic character teeming  with originality.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shavetta.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shavetta.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="shavetta" title="shavetta" /></a>  she's, well, vetta....yet another  friend to listen to me rave, and  complain about stuff. *edit* Amazing  photographer, 2D sketch, and much much  more......toss in video games, stir and  bake.....we got a winner !! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://jades-n-rubies.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jades-n-rubies.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="jades-n-rubies" title="jades-n-rubies" /></a> she's an old school friend, who I  don't talk to much, but will always be  down. She's one amazing writer, and  with her drama, a novel is bound to  ensue. <br />
<br />
...Honorable Mention :: Digital.....my  partner in crime, who plans to take  over the world, complete with a list of  people to take out, but yet I'm  standing between him and global  domination. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been about 4 months from my last  rant here, so I thought it's time for a  change. I've been blessed to work on  various projects, though sometimes I  may think that they are infact curses,  but nevertheless, it's good to have the  ablity to network with others for  inspiration. As for lightwave vs maya,  I kinda moved on from that and can  understand why so many artist do one  thing in Program (a) and then go to  Program (b) for something else.  Basically, they are all tools, means to  an end. I was looking at some past  works and I'm happy to see that I've  progressed a little. I may also take  solice in the fact that I have two of  the craziest, but talented and cool as  friends, namely Mainasha and Digital,  *who's no on DA*. I also wanna give  props to another friend that even  without knowing, pushes me to do more,  get better, and become something of an  artist, Vetta. Um, I have some other  associates I would care to mention, but  I'm not going to at the  moment......nuff of that.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "I sit, trying to put thoughts to paper,  in an attempt to saturate the page with  ink that I placed all but randomly. A  drawing or is it my being, with my  thoughts, my perspective, myself which  you read.I wonder. I ponder why the  joys of countless angels are played  under the visage of a smile, no longer  accepting their due glory, but rather  the dull shards of glass that befall  them. And while I continue these  thoughts, my eyes perceive the very  inspiration of this enlightenment. "<br />
Unfinished ~ Niti<br />
<br />
<br />
   I feel inspired and empty on all  fronts, so things are going pretty  slowly over here. Still learning Maya,  which is a wonderful program in and of  itself, but it's a challenge to learn  it when you only have a few hours at a  time to sit and muddle through it. The  once noble Grass Stains project is, or  was, on hold,being that the team had  classes and other life obligations to  do. It's also hard as hell to delegate,  organize, and share when the  individuals are in diffrent time zones.  I've been wanted to start drawing  again, it's been years since my last  session, so I know i'm outta practice.  Also I've been doing the writting  again, to help matain a sense of the  moods of the ideas I come up with. <br />
   Also I have to give props and love  to my friends. I thank the countless  memebers who have inspired me, and  pushed me to do better. Also, to  Shavetta, and friend (they should know  who they are).....well this is really  to Vetta, darn you woman !! you have  too much talent....<br />
......that's it, now let's go eat...... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been out of the loop for a little  while, 3 days ago, a friend introduced  me to Maya. After an elaboratre sales  pitch...lol....I agreed to really look  at it and see what's up. As many of you  3D peeps know, you can't beat Maya, so  I wanted to really see what's up.  SO....currently, I'm 2 days into  learning Maya, and I'm already  throughly lost by the plithera of  buttons and menu options. The hardest  thing is to figure out which buttons do  what, as related to my already accepted  LW layout.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ For faceless companies to hit you with  a barrage of toy ads, and enough JC  Penny one day sales to bewilder a  underused credit card. Many people just  love this time of year, where people  are happy and blah blah blah, but I  really could do without it. The  overcommercialazition of Christmas, and  exploting gift with the concepts of our  own motrality have been so conviently  wrapped and kicked aside as to where  I'm disgusted to go outside. But again  I venture, for another 27 days of quick  marketing ploys, where as the "one day  sale", has become as cliche' as the  little red kettle. What's the purpose  if you're giving a gift from habit, or  because it was on sale. Ask a child  what's christmas for, and you'd be hard  pressed to find someone not thinking  about the latest and greatest device,  which batteries aren't included. Keep  your fake and forced cheer, for where  is all this "love" in the other 9 months  of the year? At one time there was  Thanksgiving, but with the actual feat  of cooking has now gained the options  of "bitesized" and "extra value meals".  Now, rolled over with snowmen and  lights months before the temperature  has even wavered. So to all the ones  who are happy with thoughts of cozy  fires and the ole egg nod, why are you  celebrating? It's obvious Christ has  become a thing of convience, and yet  everyone wants to ovbserve his  birthday, and not go to work.<br />

I've taken time  to re-develop some things, if not learn  from others. Being that I really don't  have anything profound to say, I'll  leave this rant short. Also Vetta is  trying to strangle me, so I'm on the  run..lol. *note the "grrrr"* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Been a while since I've stepped to the  mic, but I thought I should hit ya'll  with a lil something. Currently, the  Grass Stains project has come to a  pause, several members have had full  class schedules, others have been busy  with real life, it's cool, cause we all  know how that can be. But rest assured,  there will be some stained grass !!  Next up, another project, Utopia....I  just love that name for this project.  Anyway, I'm currently on the 3rd Draft  of the storyline. I had thought I'd  make this an animated series, but as  extensive as the story looks, it'd take  a real production studio to pull this  one off. Not to be stopped, we're  planning on making a comic of the  story, and who knows, maybe something  will come of it, but at the moment, it  would be atleast a full season if it  were animated. <br />
Next, I'm still working on texturing,  perfecting and developing skills, hence  the excedrin bottle. I thought I'd   start with the basics, as we all  should. <br />
I wanna give mad love to all the  artists I've meet on DA, I'd also like  to thank thoese who've commented when I  post stuff, with special emphasis on  thoese who've had constructive crit.  I'm not one to get upset, because  that's one of the best ways to learn. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a long time comming but it's  finally here. After lots of time in  contemplation I've finally reached the  level I wanted to a year or so ago, so  with that goal achieved, I'm taking it  up a step. Like all good artists, you  must push yourself even harder to  improve, so that's my focus, Texturing  !! Something I've been avoiding getting  into really deeply, but that's over,  time to get down and dirty. <br />
<br />
I'd also like to again give love to my  girls; Shavetta, Mainasha, and Jade.  Shavetta, a simply awsome photographer  that captures not only the photo, but  the essence os the moment. Photos  capable of stiring lost emotions and  memories long forgotten, she has mad  skills, and complements that with a  beautiful smile and a personality to  die for. Mainasha, my partner in  graphics, with a pencil, she is able to  create worlds of characters with such  style and movement they practicaly  breath by mere pressence. Also, she's  my Ace in talking about Anime...lol.  And last, Rubbies and Jade, Still  finding her creative nitche', I must  say she's got the writting thing on  lock. If you haven't peeped the  Junkyard Dreamers story(ies)...you're  missing a unbeleavble treat. Much love  to all....Holla ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Welcome to all that have happened on this page, and welcome back to the  ones that have returned. Things have been pretty wild here, between  work and everything else, I'm a lil stressed. I'm currently working on  the new characters for the movie, modeling them and all. The main  problem I'm facing is that I'm too accustomed to creating realistic  adult humans, so my points are way off, but I'll get it. I'm also  working with my friend Main on a project that we'll inpliment after the  current one is wrapped up, who knows, we may have a future company  budding. And I must voice my mind in that there seems to be a lack of  ethnic 3D animations, i may be wrong, by where, oh where...are  they....now back to the random rant. <br>
<br>
As always I wanna give much love to my gurls that hold me down and  listed to me rant on about ploygons and camera ish.<br>
Mainasha, Shevetta, and Jade....I love you all...humm I got a regular  Charlie's Angel thing going on....Niti's Angels...<br>
<br>
Till the next rant, holla....<br>

                <description><![CDATA[ In reguards to my spot on this page, I've meet, seen, and visited the  pages of various artists. I've been able to learn about color,  composioion, mood, and basically some amazing talents. I wanted to give  much love to all. <br>
<br>
As for the contest,  the judging is underway. I got lazy and slack and  never made UV maps....sue me..lol. Maybe next time? I've been working  on the screenplay for the animated project that Mainisha (who is in the  DeviantWatch) has been helping on. Again show love to Shevetta and also  Rubbies and Jade (an up and comming webdesigner, not to mention a great  writer). <br>
<br>
Aight, hope I've not forgotten anyone...anyway much love ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I must say that I'm very happy to have made myself a lil spt in the  sand here, the people I've meet are quite friendly and very art  motivated, which is refreshing. As so my art projects?  The Lightwave  contest is officially 10 days away, and I'm not ready yet, I know...I'm  being a lil lazy. I'm stressing over the background at the moment, I  wanna make it intresting but not overpowering, and I may have come up  with the perfect solution after laying in the bed this morning. After I  finish with this contest, I'm going to start working on my portfolio  site, which is scheduled to be up and ready to roll on June 1st (be  forwarned that date is subject to change). I also want to give major  props and love to two of the most artist, real, and loving friends I  have (who also helped to push me to join this site) Mainasha and  Shavetta. Both extremely talented, so when you get a chance, please  show them some love. <br>
  And before I forget, the Icon on my page, I modeled it back when I  was first starting out. It was done in a free program called Blender,  very good program to use to learn what's up. Anyway, the re-render was  gone much later in Lightwave, and that's what you see there, more of a  test than anything. ]]></description>
