Announcement
Um, hey, so... you may or may not have noticed that I just fell off the internet, and the reason for that is a funny story. I was unpacking some 3D dreads I had just downloaded, when suddenly Windows and AVG both started screaming "OMG, Trojan, OMG." So then I screamed back "OMG, delete, OMG, " and then everything froze. So I did a forced shut-down and then tried to start back up in safe-mode, but the desktop would not load. Long story short, the lactose-intolerant tech-monkey will have my computer for at least a week. I will have internet access here and there, but not any of my graphics software. Uh... so I guess I'm on emergency hiatus...
I hope to have my computer working properly by a week from today (ihopeihopeihope) at which time I will dedicate my time to catching up.
Holy cow, it's another art-shop! Hello, my name is Sand3 (yes, the 3 is supposed to be there) and I like to create 3D art with Runtime programs such as Daz Studio, Poser and Carrara. I've recently become confident with the tools and want to get a lot more practice with aesthetics and composition in a 3D environment on my journey towards the eventual goal of animating.

Vicky
Victoria 4 by Daz Studio is my primary female model. She is extremely versatile and can be shaped into nearly any body-type desired. I have a number of different skin-tones for her as well, and many of them include make-up options.
Mike
Michael 4 is Vicky's male counterpart, I have less skin-tones specifically made for him, but I now have a plug-in that allows me to use Vicky's textures on him as well.
Aiko
Aiko 3 is from Daz's generation 3 models, most of which had some serious Uncanny-Valley issues going on with the face, but Aiko managed to dodge that bullet by having a cartoony/stylized face. Aiko 3 is probably the model who has the very most content (clothes and accessories) available right now and so sometimes if I can't find the right clothing to fit Vicky, I may use Aiko 3 instead, sometimes creating the face I want with her many facial-morph options, or sometimes by frankensteining her together with Vicky.
Anime Models
From left to right: Akatora's Deco, Decoco and Maybe, NearMe and Mato's Kururu. I have the most clothing and hair for NearMe and Kururu.
Shucky's Androids
Bco2 and Bone-Tech by Shucky are both models with an excellent range of movement, although when I got hold of them, Bco2 didn't have any facial expressions. I developed a hybrid with the Daz figure who Bco2's measurements are based off of to be able to use Aiko 3's full range of facial expressions on Bco2.
Krystal
Krystal, by Little Dragon, is a truely excellent fanart-based model, designed to resemble Krystal from StarFox. She has been very well received by the 3D community and a large number of different fur-textures and morphs have been created for her. She has a limited amount of clothing, mainly her StarFox costumes along with some evening-wear and sports-wear.
V4 Creatures
I honestly have no idea how I acquired the V4 Creature Pack... All I can figure is that I somehow downloaded the copy of Daz Studio that's on my current computer on, like, the one day that they packaged the Creature Pack with it as an Easter-egg or something... So... Awesome. I can do digitigrade legs, various tails and a lot of crazy animal face-morphs for V4.
Millennium Centaurs
Millennium Centaurs are a combination of the generation 4 Daz figures and the Daz Millennium Horse. I can make centaurs with Vicky or Mike.
My Abilities and Limitations
Clothing: I am rather limited when it comes to clothing. Any clothing I give your character has to be something that I have in my Runtime. If there's a simple item you're looking for that I think I would be able to find a download for, I can look for it and if I am able to find it, add 20k to the price of the finished piece (because it will likely take me an hour to find it).
The clothing I already have is mostly feminine; I have a limited variety of fantasy, scifi, period and normal clothing, as well as a few lolita styles, bathing suits, and a fair number of evening gowns. Often times I can change the color of items if desired. I have less masculine clothing, but I can resize most of my female clothing to fit the male model if you like. Post a tektek avi of the kind of outfit you want and I'll describe to you how close I can get to it.
Hair: Like the clothing, I am somewhat limited when it comes to hair. I have a variety of short hair types (about chin-length) a handful of longer hair types, a handful of up-dos, one dreadlocked do and one pony-tail, most of these can be made any color desired.
Props: I have a lot of props. I have a plethora of weapons, several types of wands, smoking paraphernalia, curious magic items, lanterns, candles... basically make a request and I'll tell you if I can do it.
Animals: I have several and there's more out there that I would be able to install quickly, make a request and I'll tell you if I can do it. Please note- I currently do not have a canine or feline base model, so I cannot make dogs, wolves, cats and wild-cats at this time. I can do horses, snakes, penguins, many sea-creatures, dragons, and a variety of alien/fantasy critters, as well as many more, ask for something, and I'll run a google-search and check the usual databases to see if a Poser-rigged model is available.
Subject Matter
I am happy to make avi-art and original-character art. If you want me to do an original character for you, it would be helpful to me, if you don't have any pictures of the character, for you to make a tektek of your character so that I can get an idea of how they look. Descriptions of their appearance and personality are also helpful, but no substitute for a picture.
I am willing to do artistic n***s but not pornography. If you're not sure whether something would be considered an acceptable artistic nude or not, feel free to PM me and ask.
I don't have any specific form I want you to fill out, just post here or write me a PM describing what you want and I'll quote you a price. Also tell me what size of image you want, I'll go up to desktop sizes if desired. If you don't tell me a size, I default to a standard 800x1035.
