Store Catalog:

Q) what brought you into 3D?
Video games actually introduced me to 3d. I was amazed when they went into cut scenes. Then came the full-length 3d animations, and it completely blew my mind away. The rest, as they say, is history.
Q) How did you choose your nickname?
I took my name from my grandfather’s middle name which is Farcon, and Farconville is a real place that is really near where I used to live. I am a very sentimental person and appreciate things from the past.
Q) How long have you been creating your artwork?
I stumbled into Poser when I was in the Middle East way back in 2009. I am self taught and since then I am hooked and addicted to it and there was no way out. I will not claim to be an expert. Up to this time, I am still learning a lot.
Q) what are the specs of your render machine?
My laptop runs on Windows 7, Core i7 and NVidia GEFORCE with CUDA. I am not a tech-savvy person. I just know my computer is adequate for now.
Q)Poser or Daz Studio and why?
I used Poser before, but I am more comfortable using DAZ Studio. I like DAZ Studio, not because it is easier, because most of the characters available for it are gorgeous. I could hardly wait for Michael 7 to come out (if there will be a M7).
Q) will you be giving “Love” to M4 again in the future?
It depends. If people will request to have things made for Michael 4, then why not? I am a fairly reasonable guy. If there is a need, all you have to do is ask. It may take some time, but I get it done slowly but surely.
Q) Tell us the process of making your products.
I always do my research first before doing my poses. It gives me time to find interesting things to experiment with. My process is not really that structured. I just go with the flow and let inspiration guide me.
Q) how long does it normally take to make a new product?
It takes me quite a long time as I am now back to school. I can finish a set within a week if there’s nothing going on. If I am really inspired I could finish a set in four days.
Q) What do you think is missing from the world of men in 3D?
Maybe accessories. We need more shoes, hair, bags to go with men in 3d.
Q) What are you working on now for the future?
I am currently working on THREESOME pose sets for Michael 6. An individual contacted me via Renderotica to request for these. I have one set done and will be doing two sets more. I am thinking of doing M4 textures if people would like me to.
Q)) Out of all the various art mediums why 3D?
This intrigues me and makes me work hard. Some people do not consider it art, but I beg to differ. I heard or read somewhere that “Art imitates life” and I think 3d is a perfect example of that.
Q) What are your plans for the future?
I want to improve my knowledge when in comes to 3d rendering and modeling, including texturing. I would like to go into making hair, shoes and clothes. There is so much to learn.
Q) who are your favorite artists other than yourself?
SAV , Mec4d, HellBoySoto…..There are too many of them and they are wonderful in their own unique way.
Q) If someone reading this wants to start creating their own artwork what words of advice would you give them?
Just be diligent and persevere. Ask questions. Do not be afraid to make mistakes and start over. People are nice and helpful. A lot of these people gave me a helping hand when I was starting , and, believe me, I knew absolutely nothing.
Q) Do you have a job outside of 3D or do you consider this your full time occupation?
I used to be a Chemist and a Personal Support Worker. I am back to school to prepare myself for a career in the Health Care Field.
Q) Speech time! any final words you have for your, fans and fellow 3D community?
To all the supporters who purchased my stuff, I am truly thankful and grateful. Drop me a line just to say hello or you could drop requests so I could do them for you guys. Once again, I am truly honored and appreciative to all you guys. THANKS!
