Not Eager To Post
-----------------------------------
On several occasions, I have mentioned to you that I was going to quit 3D art.
I thought about that and came close  a few times.
What I am about to say has nothing to do with the number of views or comments that
I have received over the course of time while posting to several forums.
It has been rewarding to see that my characters and series have been enjoyed and accepted by many different people and conversely, rejected  by a greater majority for whatever the reason.
Last year I had something to prove to just about everyone.
Almost immediately,  I had a fan club which was very flattering and I was eager to please these new found friends.  I am not speaking about my friends here on this site or PoserPros, but another site.
The ideas were coming into my head faster than I could render them out. There seemed to be no end to what scenarios and what lengths that  I would go to put my characters into a scene.
 To make my renders as unique as possible, I made special models that took many hours of work, that only showed up in my own art.  Some thought that it was selfish and that I should give something back because I used other people's free models in my renders.  I gave something back to these model creators and that was by using props and characters that were unpopular or considered useless by others and gave them some new life by not stereotyping them.
Godzilla is  a good example.
I also chose the P4 woman as the basis for my characters, just to be different.
Over time, Connie, Bonnie and other characters developed their own personalities.

Anyway, what I say next may sadden some people, but it is a choice that I have made. 
After October 31, my characters will no longer be appearing as frequently as they have done so in the past. In fact, they may show up around Christmas or never again.

I still enjoy making the images, I am just not eager to  show them in public forums as I have in the past.
Nobody has "gotten" to me or anything like that.
The amount of enjoyment is the same whether I share the images  or I do not.
There is nothing for me to prove to anyone out there and less for  me to gain by posting everything that I do.
It is always gratifying to receive views and the comments from my friends.
At some point you begin to feel that others merely look at you efforts for ideas or for other less obvious reasons.  My frequent post have likely  caused people to become bored and tired of my  posts. 
I guess I will never know.

I will still bug you guys to death and will still be around whenever I can.
You will just have to make do without my images in the galleries.
