Going through old posts, I just realized something utterly bizarre ... this portrait was never uploaded. How bizarre is that? And I know, I haven't posted here in about a year. 2022 "did a number" on me. In the interests of survival, something had to go on the back burner, and art was it, because I'd reached a point where DAZ was crashing more often than not, the video card I can afford (two and a half grand's worth) won't come anywhere near to rendering Genesis 8 plus dForce, and my new Huion pen tablet, which was intended for drawing, just will NOT work ... and so on. So it was an easy choice to make: side-line the art. Come back later.

Also, the Aussie dollar is so weak now, I shudder to think what it would cost to invest in Genesis 9. Which is a crying shame, because...
