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!

Ah yes!! Even better!!! I definitely prefer this one in color! Too bad for the anim but having seen ur B&W one, it gives a pretty good idea!! Super work!

If this were animated I'm afraid it would bring on a fit or siezure of some sort. :) Cool design!

Wait! I have to get my shades...fantastic colors and movement, very 60's psychadelic. I keep waiting for it to spin even if it's not animated. Marvelous work!!!

That is SO GREAT !!--I can imagine how splendid this looks properly done in color in full resolution...oooh you have to start making 'talkies'and use this as your open and close just before credits...mindboggling effect and creativity !

Very subtle color scheme. Working under file size constraints has it uses. On the other hand, were Renderosity serious about hosting animation art....
