I've been looking at your renders and have to say I am impressed with the quality of the models you have created. It is obvious to me that you have a lot of love for them and it shows in their quality and detail. You have also stated in other posts that you are trying to avoid the "sci-fi" approach that so many other artists use. That's commendable. I kinda have the same attitude towards one too many Bryce+Poser fantasy/erotica renders. I enjoy some them, but it's not for me to do. I do have some constructive criticism for you though. Although beautifully done, no casual viewer cares about render time or design time. I personally don't care if it took 45 years to build a cathedral, but can be awed at it's majesty. If time did matter, art galleries would have a note card next to the picture for people to ooh and ahh over. In a way, it's the old annoyance "Fine artists" have towards "Pop artists". Heck, as a graphic artist I get mad when a project costs twice as much (in hourly rates) as it was quoted at. Can't charge for that time, even though the effort was put in. I'm not trying to be cruel here, just helpfully honest. Composition also matters. Your beautiful models, handled in a more dramatic fashion may not only enhance your work, but make people appriciate it more. I'd personally love to see more renders like your "Ships Passing inthe Night". and "Spacestation in Low Earth Orbit". The problem with a totally scientific approach is that it has no anima, or soul, or heart. People appriciate art on a gut emotional level. People don't wax melodic over a picture of the X-1, but they will over hubble pictures of the Horsehead Nebula with all it's striking colors. As a side comment, you'd probably be able to sell your meshes to some artists who are aching to use those well crafted models. They're certainly better than a lot of models I've seen. And they're in a niche I've not seen very often. Anyway, that's my $1.50 worth. TTFN
