My experience in graphic arts started B.C. (Before Computers). I've been an art director and creative specialist for over 25 years. I have worked with Apparel Companies, packaging companies, advertising agencies, marketing groups, websites developers, graphic pre-press production houses and just about everything that requires artwork. I'm still only 43. OK so I had no social life, but I have no credit card debt. Not bad!

Todd ... as I recall, you didn't like mesh at one time ... looks like you've, as is apparently customary, taken a new style/method and made it yours to bend to your will. Gorgeous work, naturally ... love the background texture.

Thanks and yes. But I always have to try things to prove myself wrong or just to test myself. I never want to disreguard things based on what I think without trying. I did learn a lot. I was able to reshape her body to a point. I felt I still needed to add things and twist it up a bit more to what I like. I know I could have retouched the photo in PS and even photo manipulated another face in, add lighting and detail, but thought What's the point. If I make it great in PS, why struggle to bend a mesh square to only end up back where I started. I have found that this will come in VERY handy during my normal illustrations for areas that would require more time the old way I do things. So, for that Mesh will be ideal.
Thanks again for the nice comments.

~ ToddF. & G.Mesh? ~ Like oil & water NO? ::::: The answer = no.
But - Now it's TFG-Mesh!!! ;-)
Nice work, I take it that you will still prefer to use it sparingly or on a as needed basis. This was a pleasant
surprize. Again very nice work.
