A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
Â
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

Now this one would suit Me for when I wanted to get away from the bloomin' Crew of the "Mothership"...I am sick of being asked..."How many Trays of Kitty Litter this Trip?"...or...."When are We gonna get there?"....or..."Where are We going?"....Yes...I could do with one of those D.S.F's...salute

Nice design for a exo/endo atmospheric craft. Those thrusters look serious too.

Really cool paint job, I like the blurring effect of the background, makes it look like its going oh so fast!

Neat craft, but if it is a deep space fighter, why the wings? ;] Great sense of motion here.
Digimon
Thanks Kort! By Deep Space I mean, capable of planetary range. But this figther is definately capable of entering atmospheres. My inspiration was the Star Wars X-wing fighter (Obvious by the quad enigines) and my thinking was that it would behave the same way as those did. ;)
