I do photography too
Artist
United Kingdom
I recently graduated from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff with a 1st Class honours degree in "Business Information Systems and Multimedia".

I'm a huge Dr Who and Torchwood fan, and pretty much a fan of most Sci-fi (or sy-fy) related things. I own Grekwood Miniatures, where I sculpt and sell tiny little 28mm people for collectors and wargamers. I also do a bit of photography and occasionally bust out my Nikon D300 (or D80 infrared camera) and take photos.

Feel free to message me with anything, whether it's requests, random questions, or just to say hi :)

Cheers,
Carl

Operating System: Windows 7 (Until the next one comes out I guess)
Shell of choice: Turtle shell...turtles in a half shell, turtle power!
Wallpaper of choice: One that doesn't peel off the wall
Skin of choice: Kryptonian skin cells
Interests
1 month (and 1 day) ago I launched my new hobby/business known as "Grekwood Miniatures". It's mainly a wargames place where I sell small miniatures which I have sculpted, usually around 28-30mm in height, for wargamers, role-play gamers and collectors. My current stock consists of zombies and some monsters/demons, but I am slowly adding things to it every month with new items. I am almost ready to send off some new sculpts to get cast in metal.

I also sell a number of accessories as I wanted it to be a place where you can get most things you need rather than going to numerous other places.

I've been busy sculpting, pretty much most days. I am currently trying to work on the female form, to make it more shapely and realistic. Finding suitable material/models in the correct poses is actually quite difficult. Either they are angled too much or too little, so finding something which is "just right" is a bit difficult. I should get my own model lol

**PHOTOGRAPHY**
My photography has kinda taken a back seat. I no longer plan to do it professionally. I still sell things on some photography websites like istockphoto, but I don't plan to do it professionally any more. I will however continue to do it as a hobby, which it's always better as a hobby. I continue to do photography, but mainly for my new business, which is pretty much macro work as it's all tiny stuff. I will hopefully photograph something some day, but until then it'll be a bit quiet from me.

Anyway, that is pretty much it for now. Check out the website www.grekwoodminiatures.co.uk :)

Cheers,
Carl

I watched it, it was excellent :D she saw it too and I think I had to hold her down to stop her bouncing up and down in hyperness.

HEY YOU!!!! I think I remember you....XP How are you doing? I wanted to apologize for not replying in ages. You know how it is. I recently got married and then one week after the wedding, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. She's going through chemo before they try to do surgery. I've been taking care of her and helping out, so I haven't had much time to be on. And it's emotionally draining to me. DX Anyway, just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. :)

LoL, yaaaaaay, I'm remembered!!!! XD Thank you so much! Wish you could have been here. We could have used the Doctor and his Gibson to liven up the party! ;)
Thank you. She's doing better. Some of the doctors thought she would be dead by now, but she made it through the chemo and the tumors have shrunk significantly. They think she may not even need surgery anymore! :D

LoL, I think I remember an old pic of you when I first became a watcher (that sounds sooooo stalker-ish) of with long hair....XD Did you cut it yet? I didn't think it was possible for anyone to get close to David Tennant inhumanly wicked hair, but you managed to. Just saying...LoL, in case you haven't yet. Maybe some encouragement? XD

I'm glad your mum is doing better!! :bounce:

Yes..yes...very stalker-ish hahaha :P Yeah I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago. It's more like Matt Smith style at the moment, so not too short, but not too long. The David Tennant hair is difficult, I can rarely make it work (when the hair is short enough), it just takes loads of spray! lol

So hows everything going with you?
