Extremely overdue feature

Sun Feb 20, 2011, 4:29 PM
For all the overdue features I should have done and haven't managed to get done yet, this one must really take the cake.  I offer my sincere thanks to the amazing *RitaFoster :clap:.  I'm afraid if I say very much I'll take away from how amazing the visual of her work is, so I'll keep this short.  I must say, however, it would have been an incredible honor to have been a part of her work once, but as you can see from the thumbs below, it's been far more than that, and I am honored, flattered, and grateful:

                

:wow:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




If you wish, please use my image/stock to create artistic imagery. I very much enjoy being a part of the artistic creative process as a model and am highly motivated to do it with no direct reward other than the opportunity to see the result.

For respectful and non-sexual drawing reference purposes, permission is granted to do anything you may wish with your resulting drawing/painting, including commercial uses, etc. There is no need to ask me for additional permission, it is granted. All I would ask, and very much appreciate, is the opportunity to see a scan or photo of your work, and by whatever means you prefer and/or find most convenient.

In addition, and though it probably isn't even fair of me even mention this, I'd also prefer to not have my image obviously "emasculated"/"neutered", for lack of a better way to put it. Intending absolutely no offense to patients having had to undergo such an actual procedure, I have to wonder how many artists would render the undraped female figure with the equivalent of an artificial/contrived mastectomy. I am male, I was born with male parts, and though it took me a very long time to reach this realization, I really believe that's okay. In fact, I believe that every single part of all human bodies is inherently wonderful and beautiful and worthy of artistic rendition, including male bodies. And, all we have to do to see that is to open our minds to it. Let's open some minds, if we can! :)

Lee.

Hello! I am a UVU student, and Ive been using the lovecastle drawing tool for figures for a while now, and I often draw from your photo references. I have been noticing that much of your photos look like they were taken in Utah. . . The places all seemed too familiar. For example, there is one photo that looks like it was taken near Lone Peak. Another photo clearly looks like a South-facing shot of Utah County from the point of the mountain. And other shots look like southern Utah in general. After reading your description, I realize that you ARE from Utah. I find the coincidence to be amusing :)

Anyway, thank you for your reference photos. They help me a great deal in my efforts to learn figure drawing.

Hi! Yes, I am in Utah, and a while ago I used to model quite frequently for UVU. I haven't recently, however, perhaps partly due to schedule changes on my part.

I'm delighted to hear that my efforts have been helpful to you (through lovecastle),

Lee.

Hey, Lee, just checking in to say that I'm alive and your portraits are still beautiful.

Thanks Elton. Good to know that you're hanging in there. That is always a challenge, I definitely realize.

Yes, it is a big challenge. I still get to sleep nude. Although, my Stake President said something, and now my mom thinks I'm going to be a bishop. That horrified me.
