Started with Bryce 4 back around 2000?
But as bryce got screwed more and more, and got left to rot, I reluctantly turned to Vue...
Being Scots, I'm very passionate about anything I care for, and thus, saw Vue as a *"dirty stinkn' rival to Bryce, die die heathen app!" * :tt2:
Then I tried the demo for Vue5 studio, OMG!! Wow!! Blew Bryce's arse off, lol.
Stuck with Vue ever since :)
I first tired digital art a LONG time aog, hm 1991 or so, on the Amiga, first computer i bought (to play "Eye of the Beholder")
It had Deluxe Paint, which was awesome, but primitive by today's standards, made a fun little animation with it like The Predator's heat vision ;)
Being a huge D&D fan, I'd long wanted to make the "Spelljammer" fantasy space setting come alive with art, and also"Dark Sun", so I learned how ot model to make the ships, and other things to.
Artists who made scifi and fantasy novel covers in 60s to 80s I adore, and try to get a touch of in my work. Finally got it on this pic http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1741715
Guys like Clyde Caldwell, Larry Elmore and Vallejo just blow my socks off! :)
So, here I am :) I don't pretend ot be a good artist, I'm just good at coming up with new tricks etc.
My art's more about a style I like, than being "good". I dream up "scenes" and mostly just throw stuff I like in and see what mayhem I can create :D
