Spring Special


Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword, nor war's quick fire shall burn:
The living record of your memory.
'Gainst death, and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth, your praise shall still find room,
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So till the judgment that your self arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

Sonnet LV by William Shakespeare (1564-1616).


Welcome



A very humble personal site that someday plan to expand into my own domain, just as soon as I have the time to pull it out.

My very first Poser products store. Right now my products are available for sale at Renderotica, 3D Commune, Animotions and Turbo Squid.




A Word


I am glad you found your way to this page and I hope you might enjoy your visit. My name is Carlos Terán, known as carlos-teran in DeviantART (so much for the creativity there, right?). I have been interested in the CGI (computer generated images) field for quite some time, but when I discovered this program, now called Smith Micro's Poser... well you know how some people can get addicted to it... so my interest became my passion, and a nice way of making a living creating something I love to... and getting paid in the process. Then I came across Autodesk 3D Studio MAX and my fingers took over. It is almost as much fun as anything else I can think of... almost... My graphics are a personal expression of my own self, and are not intended to reproduce truthfully this collective dream we call reality. So, I do hope you will enjoy looking at them just as much as I enjoyed creating them. You'll find in my gallery a blend of fantasy, erotic art, romance and tenderness for every taste and preference. You'll also notice that I don't enclose myself in a single style or theme. Also, if you visit my On-line Prints Store, you'll find a selection of the graphics I enjoy the most for sale as high quality prints and souvenirs, or if you're looking for Poser tools, check out my products available at major 3D stores.

Red_Light


Some of my artwork is permanently featured in Red Light Center's Main Street Gallery, and some of those graphics are only available to VIP suscribers. So far, 16 of my Premier graphics are available there (with more to come), so if you are a member of the Red Light Center community, be sure to check them out one of these days.


As mentioned in my previous journal, two of my graphicsare featured in the book, "Renderotica Spring Special 2008" available at Renderotica. The concept behind my graphics is noir, inspired in decandence and fetish photography, and the titles are "Tainted Solace" and "Nobody Else Ain't Gonna Do".




One of my recents devations, "Tears In The Rain has become quite special for me, for many reasons. First of all, it was modeled after the likeness of someone quite important for me, who really makes everyday of my daily life both an adventure and a pleasant, wonderful experience. She has an innate talent to show me a whole new world thru her eyes, turning my life into something worth living to the fullest. Second, it has been selected as a featured deviation at the ~Artistic-Nudes-Club, being my first submission for them.


Right now I'm involved in the post-production of some horror-related independent shorts, both in audio design and editing. I'll let you know more about it when the projects are near completion.


Both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy had their birthdays in March. May live long and prosper!.


Eternal_Minuet


I hope you'll enjoy the latest release of Eternal Minuet's Episode 7 in the 14th issue of Renderotica Magazine. Right now I'm busy completing a related project with this series, so the next installment will be released in a couple of months. So far, this noir comic has gained an excellent acceptance and a pack of followers worldwide. Because of this, the first 6 episodes (1-6) of the saga will appear this year in a paperback published in the UK by Silver Moon Publishing. This 100-plus pages volume will contain additional artwork, as well as a prologue and some behind-the-scenes regarding Eternal Minuet's creative process.The paperback will be available as a traditional paper book in the UK (there will be an e-book version for the rest of the world). I'll keep you guys informed with more details as the release date comes closer.

My upcoming Sci-Fi comic Aurora has finished pre-production, and it's now in full production (sets, ships, characters), with some important delays in terms of workload and story-wise adaptation. In this journal I've released some conceptual art (the main ship and a few other models) that you would like to see in my scraps section. Some finished artwork will be available soon. I'll love to hear your opinion and suggestions, so send me a note. This title will be released by Silver Moon Publishing in the UK.

dare



Now, regarding my graphic novel Into The Neddle's Eye, I've some conceptual art (one of the main sets) that you would like to see in my scraps section. I would love to hear your opinion and suggestions, so send me a note. This title will be also released by Silver Moon Publishing in the UK.

dare
Sometimes it takes me ages to read all my mail and check my devwatch, so please be patient, and let me know by note if you have something in particular you're dying to showcase.


turbosquid

This past few months I've been also busy with the release of several texture products for e-Frontier and Autodesk 3D Studio MAX. So far, my available products are: Eyes Mega Pack, The Wood Tiles Pack, The Uncut Wood Pack (Poser and 3DS Editions), The Ceramic Tiles Pack, The Brick Wall Pack and The Brick Texture Pack, The Pink Fetish Pack, Complex Metals Pack (Volumes 1, 2 and 3). These are available in Renderotica, Animotions, PoserPros, 3D Commune, Content Paradise and for Turbo Squid. My favorite store so far it's the one I have in Turbo Squid, where my products are available in several formats, for either Poser or 3DS. You'll find me there as carlos_teran.

dare
My upcoming products include a set of photo-realistic construction materials, military-grade digital camouflage and some fine stone textures. Those products will be available for Autodesk 3D Studio MAX and Poser.


New


To make things short, DHL lost and destroyed (literally) my main workstation in 2006. It took me a month and a half to recover from this event in terms of machine-hours, and they never paid me a dime for the damages. I'll only advise you to read carefully your contract before sending anything with them. Of just avoid using them, if your shipment contains something of value.




Sometimes, you just need to take some rest and keep in touch with something different than this steel and concrete jungle. In my case, a whole month trip covering 4 different ecosystems with my camera. In the end I returned with around 6 thousand pictures, some of them becoming deviations for all of you to enjoy. Most of them will end up in a series of texture packs (some of them already for sale). This personal need to add photography to my deck of cards came from my huge dissapointment after buying a very expensive texture pack produced by a well known european 3D house, ending with a crappy disk filled with 300 boring and lousy, flat pictures than even a kid in a sugar rush would shot better with his/her eyes closed. So, I decided to get some decent 10.1 Megapixel steady shots of everything in my trip, in multiple enviroments and light settings to deliver a top-notch product. I also decided to forget hand-held shots, and get everything with a tripod or a steady-cam harness. Therefore, expect a lot of photo-deviations very soon.


My Space

I'm more active right now in My Space (carlosteran1970). Don't forget to say hello there.




This month I would love to showcase the photography of Christine Newhook, a great artist from our community who has excelled herself in modelling, and now shares with us her talent with the lens. Be sure to visit her home page at [link] and her Flickr account.


Silver Moon Publishing


(UK) will be publishing my upcoming graphic novel (still with just a working title that promises to deliver 60 pages of fun) as well as my participation in an 3D art book that will feature 5 other artists from Renderotica. There's also a monthy 32-pages Sci-Fi comic book of mine soon to be published in the UK, so stay tuned for more news on this subject. Most of these projects have been delayed because of my workload, but are still in the works.




Previous episodes of my noir comic Eternal Minuet are available in past issues of Renderotica Magazine. So far, you can get all 6 released episodes there... or you just can wait for the paperback version to be released next year.


Yanelis 3D


Visit the site and store of my good friend Yanelis Barros. You will enjoy her selection of Poser textures and clothing for V3.


Something must be done regarding an old illness of this site: the Professional Commenter. The profile of such person is a very simple one. This character is someone whose only contribution to the community is just a significant amount of comments and nevertheless features a personal gallery without any deviation on it, or someone who comments on a tone that ranges from offensive to dogmatic, without any meaningful body of works on her/his gallery on the subject he/she is commenting. This trend was very notorious in past years, and has ceased somewhat, but it's still omnipresent, lurking under the surface. Even when I'm aware that everybody is entitled to express an opinion, it's also plain to see that this site isn't a school of arts, where you must be constrained into a rigid mind frame that must be followed. If we're not allowed to express ourselves freely, without the fear of being harshly attacked by some wanna-be critic, this place will become more of a mine field, and less of a community.

dare
There's also something important bothering my mind lately, regarding this fine community: the increasing amount of campy deviations that end up as Daily Deviations just because they happened to appeal to the powers-that-be. It's important to remember that those involved in the selection of those deviations must look at them in a detached, objective way, keeping in their minds that not everybody enjoys fetish or nude photos, stock photography or adult-oriented photography. Most of the users in this site are under 18, and as strange as it sounds coming from an adult-oriented artist, I would like to express my deep personal dissapointment at those selections. The powers-that-be must keep in mind that this community is broader, and be objetive, keep their personal tastes aside in the choices to be made, and if there's not a good-enough deviation to select for this award (that has become meaningless, in many ways), then don't select anything that day. You don't have to... keep that in your thoughts.





My father Prof. José Z. Terán has a wonderful book about the town in the northeast of México where my ancestors have lived for generations. It's entitled "San Carlos: La Huella De Los Tiempos" (San Carlos: The Track Of Times) and it's right now in its Third Printing. It deals with both historical and human facts on how that community has grown in hundreds of years since the Spanish era. It's also about my roots, and I'm so proud on how my father has worked on this for over a decade, and how I have his legacy to carry on. This book includes some beautiful landscapes that are now posted here at DeviantART for viewing in post-card style in my gallery and also available as prints. The latest edition of the book was released in December 15, 2006. My father's new book, "La Tierra En Que Nací" (The Land Where I Was Born) captures the evolution of my family over centuries and captures his personal view of the small town in northeast México from the stand point of view of a loving son who cherishes his roots. Some of the pictures featured on that book will soon be posted in my gallery in post-card style, also available as prints.

If you have a specific question, or a request or idea for a graphic, please feel free to send me a note at any time. I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

No, I'm not into 3D contests and I don't create commissioned art. I'm quite open for collaborations.


Visit this wonderful graphics that some talented artists have dedicated to me. It's an honor and a pleasure, and I'm deeply grateful of it: Come Into My World by *anelia, For Carlos Teran by ~ligreego, Little Doll by ~katzmeow, and To Carlos-Teran by =SelfMadeQueen. This section used to have more deviations, but many artist have been deleting their galleries for good, and that's a shame.
