I am a self taught Digital Artist and mother of 2 beautiful children, it has been determined that the younger of the two is Autistic, every day is a new adventure =).

I have always been a bit artistic starting from a very early age.  I started in Adobe Photoshop 7 and Paint Shop Pro 8 doing signatures & graphics for characters in popular online games (EQ & others) in the summer of ‘03.  I have tried my hand at several 3D rendering programs as well as Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop CS3, as well as many “traditional mediums” such as drawing, design, painting, 3d design, ceramics, and photography.  My main tools are currently Photoshop & Poser 7.

I do take commissions, though not as often as I used to since I began running my Renderosity Shop well over a year ago.  If you are looking for backgrounds for your greeting cards, websets, artworks, photography, etc. you are in the right place.  All of my designs are original, created by combining 3D elements, brushwork, and hand painted details.  I use a 9×12 Int. 3, Wacom Graphics tablet & pen.  If you would like some custom work done please feel free to email me, susan@thedigitalmuse.net, and I would be happy to discuss it with you.  I do offer image licensing for CD covers, magazines, book covers, etc. also if you are looking to purchase a license on a larger scale please contact AppleJack Art Partners. http://www.applejackart.com

Prior to working with digital art I completed 2 years towards my BA in Fine Arts at St. Petersburg College in Florida.  I studied in drawing, 3D Design, and Ceramics.  Although I am not currently enrolled in any classes I do want to finish a degree in graphic arts.

In my spare time I enjoy playing WoW, and have been since beta. I can be found on the following US servers/factions:

  • Deathwing – Sydnie, 80 Rogue (Alliance)
  • Deathwing – Pipa, 80 Shaman (Alliance)
  • Deathwing – Cozmoe, 80 Death Knight (Alliance)
  • Deathwing – Sweetpickles, 70 Priest (Alliance)
  • Deathwing – Spookypants, 66 Warlock (Horde)
  • Deathwing – Ninelives, 34 Druid (Alliance)
  • Shattered Halls – Berrylin, 24 Pally (Horde)

Lately though I have been spending my free time in the evenings playing Starcraft 2, the campaign is awesome, but the multiplayer is really fun!  My screen name on there is Binkie =)

In July of 2007 I joined the “Community Relations Team”  at www.deviantART.com as one of the Digital Art Gallery Moderators, and after 2 great years of volunteering I have taken off the hat and resigned at my position.

I am a supporter of the following sites:

I am also an Co-Owner/Admin at the Baby and Me Forums – a great place for moms or those TTC.

Thank you and if I can be of any help please email me.
