Hi,
My name is Dean Etheridge and welcome to my bio.
I practice as a qualified engineering design professional, using high-end 3D modelling and manufacturing software. My product designs are specified globally on a wide variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace and other diverse high-technology applications.
I possess a solid grounding in the use of traditional media techniques, and my work naturally progressed to encompass advancements in the use of digital tools. From here, it was a small step to rediscover my love of more uniquely artistic themes.
My graphic style has always been strongly associated with reproducing realism as closely as possible, and probing the envelope of how this can be achieved across different sets of software packages.
I am honoured to have had my work selected for publication in several areas. These include the DAZ/deviantART ‘12 Months of 3D’ competition; ‘ImagineFX’ magazine; Ballistic Publishings’ ‘EXOTIQUE 2’ and 'EXOTIQUE 4' and '3DArtist' magazine.
My other interests are photography and travel. For the latter, I have been privileged to have travelled to, and explored many continents around the world. My favourite second home is SE Asia, and I am greatly influenced by both it’s people and culture.
I currently live in the UK with my wife and daughter who are both very special to me, and hugely supportive in my work.

I think the skin is excellent. VERY realistic. I also like the way the front of the face appears in sharp focus... and the ears and earrings appear to be a softer focus... making the picture very dimensional. Extremely well done!

Beautiful. I too have posted a portrait using Real Woman and your skin texture is way ahead of mine. I must try and figure out that sub-surface scatter! Well done, really lovely.

Lovely face. She looks so real I thought it was one of the other images I look for. 8-) Excellent skin enhanced by the lighting. Those earrings will leave her ears like those of Spock. 8-) Beautiful.

Very sexy indeed. :)

Fantastic work!!! The face and hair look very realistic, the slight defocusing helps mask the lower texture resolution of the neck. Her left ear looks fine, but her right ear is only a 9.6, maybe a translucency map to soften the shadow a little? This is absolutely wonderful work! (It almost makes me wish I hadn't given up on firefly in disgust...) Excellent work Deane!!!
