A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
ÂÂ
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!

This is very cool! The depth is breathtaking! After staring at it for a sec it really 3 dimensional!

wow I thought it was a photo at first but then I looked closer and say "WOW" this is a super job and the waves do look super

Really nice. Sails look goooood.

Great depth. Yassuh, them wonderful photographers travelling the world and selling their photographs to magazines so that the LITTLE FOLKS can share in all the VICARIOUS pleasure, hehe. But the worst are the ones who photograph starving kids in Baboonaland or such places, "to get the story out" and "share" their pathos, yessuh, while THEY stand by and watch, win prizes, and become famous. Makes one almost nostalgic for Riefenstahl und Schweitzer....

Those waves really are great! Very realistic deep water look. The boat is excellent as well. The sails look so natural. Wonderful tribute. I'm sure he'll be delighted!

I hope she's not entering the Whitbread Classic that boat maybe a wee bit small, but then you can always cruise the coastlines just for fun and meet the natives, kool pic ~Cheers~ :o)

Excellent work! Congratulations on the waves; they're absolutely convincing.
violet
Very good looking waves...!!!! Very well done !!!!
Mea
Bravo on the waves. They have the movement and watery feel I think you were trying to capture. Nicely framed as well. A touch of haze to allow the water to fade into the background a bit would be the only thing I could suggest to really add that last detail towards realism. Very well done.
soffy

RajRaja

Forevernyt
I almost thought those waves were a photo! Fantastic. You'll have to share your secret. Or I'll be forced to send my Alpha friends after you. :) I wouldn't want to do that.

It's great the way you put this together. Hard to tell where the Bryce begins and the photos end. The Bryce waves are really an accomplishment. Excellent. V
