Well, it´s now a long time ago since I repeated a special
sentence the last time:
x
"I never will make any graphics on
the PC. There are so many artists in the world and many of my friends do
so, too. So why should I? It is my profession to make lyrics, poetry and
music. I have nothing in common with computer-based-graphic-arts."
x
Hm, what about now while you are looking at my art here? I have
no opinion what happend. At last I found myself making one artwork after
the other; ideas shooting through my mind and won´t let me getting
sleep. Technics have been learned and still will be, understanding of art-composition
gets deeper and deeper and finally I will call myself a computer-graphic-artist.

I started in march with a shareware-version
of MetaCreations "Bryce
2" for PC.
I read about this program in a computer-magazine;
I was interested in graphics on PC because some friends of mine were experienced
and working with programs like Kinetix
"3D-Studio-MAX"
and other graphic-programs and made awesome graphics! It was not so that
I wanna do the same, my eyes were just opened for those kind of things.
But the article i read about "Bryce
2" was so fascinating that i got a
copy of the shareware-version. I remember that artists of "3D-Studio-MAX"
needs to create a nice picture for about some hours after you have studied
the program month ago; in "Bryce 2"
with no experience and no plan at all i fineshed my first work ever in
15 minutes! Whow! I was impressed - about myself and this incredible
easy-to-use but powerful new program! Of course this first picture (and
the following, too) wasn´t a great work, but the priciple of this
new program, to handle with it and to play around and see direct results
without haven´t studied it did make a beleaver.

Look at a few examples
of this first art:

I guess I don´t have to tell you how the story went
on; three months later I bought the program "Bryce
3D" and learned more about computer-based-graphical-art.
a
More and more programs interested me and so I own now a few other
programs to help to express the art-in-my-mind.
a
MetaCreations "Poser
3",
Keith Rule´s "CrossRoads"
Adobe "Photoshop
5",
some plug-ins for "Photoshop"
like:
AlienSkin´s "Eye-Candy
3.0",
Th-G. v. Kiewskis "Kiwi´s
Oelfilter",
FlamingPear´s
"Blade-Pro",
DigiEffects´s "Aged
Film"
and the amazing MetaCreation´s
"Kai´s Power Tools 3.1"
a
are my other favourite programs which I´m working with.
Of course I noticed the most of the other graphic-programs especially the
render-programs around me, but I am not the one who is able to study a
program first before I could use it; I have no self-discipline in this
way, and my sight of the things is:
a
it has to be easy to me to use a program
- no matter how complex it is. I have no time and no fun to study a program´s
complexity and architecture just to make art.
a
And
MetaCreations
shows everyone that my sight
is right:
it´s all in the User-Interface!
