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!

Very spooky effect...love those glowing eyes! I think the fog effect in this is superbly done!
robotalk
cool little red eyes--nice work, excellent fog work and scene--I detect no cheese in that guacamole sky !
jjean21
Nothing is ever as good as the original, especially the older, cheesey ones. Terrific image, not only is the fog great but you can see their red beady eyes.
Svarg
Not long ago I saw them both, back to back and I must say, both of them rate high on the cheese factor. Gotta love them cheesey SciFi fliks. Zappa wrote a song - "Cheapness". I think my all ime fave was Dr. Who with Tom Baker. Your image here? Well . . . Moo hoo hoo hwaa ha ha haaa! (cool)
zoren
saw it,....oddly, green also had the personification for me, nice work.!
jocko500
real cool work. Yes the first movie was better
Meowth
Yep! Original was better, if nothing else it scared the doodoo out of me as a kid. lol
Richardphotos
I have always felt a fear of traveling into fog by ship to the unknown but sign me up for this cruise!!super atmosphere
chimera46
As far as cheese goes this is well done. Great work on the fog and water!
RJC
Haven't seen the remake of the Fog yet. Cool image though. Something a bit eerie about the faces on those people. V
kellendor
Yeppers - the original was better - liked John Houseman and all that. Good image!
skiwillgee
I didn't see either pic but I like the render, green fog from..........mooo hhaa haa
jif3d
Definitely more parmesan please ! hey wot's bot-bear & friends doing on that ghost ship ? Great dairy product render ! ~Cheers~ :o)
Hopalong
Gleat thumb! Seen a rot of flog but not John Calpentel's "The Flog", is it? "Escape from New Flog" first crass (on any rever), "Big Tlouble in Ritter China" bettel than filst crass.
SkyeKat
Wow, very cool and love those red eyes. I like both versions of the movie - cheesy horror flicks are often quite cool!
idiot_sphinx
Great fade into the fog :) I like it , I don't care if it was a bad "B" movie ...LOL... Excellent designing !!~**~!!
soffy
hey thats a cool ghost-ship,love the crew, seems like the have been drinking too much rum,have some very red eyes ;)love the fog and creepy atmosphere,excellently done EricV
kimariehere
beautiful silhouette work love the green and the hoovering foogy mood wonderfully sont Eric!
Forevernyt
I remember seeing the first on as a kid and boy was it frightening. Now I'd probably laugh at both versions. I think they should make a movie out of a real horrific story featuring another infamous fog, Stephen King's The Mist. Now that would be cool to see! Awesome scene!
DennisReed
Stunning effect! Bravo!
butterfly_fish
Hmm... haven't seen either Fog, and surprisingly I haven't read King's Mist. Must've been in the 15% of his stuff I never got around to reading. lol. Anyway, I like the render. It's very creepy and green. nod
Cosme..D..Churruca
Creepy indeed... like a lot !
TwoPynts
Love it, whatever it's cheese content level! Glowing green mist and red eyes have to be two of my favorite things -- not just raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. ;]
kenmo
Very cool....
dodgeart
Hi Digi--did not see the remake--nice lettering on this and thumbnail too. Didn't Carpenter do Prince Of Darkness too? Now there's one brilliant/imaginative and at times funny flick!--Oh yeah--it is strange and scary also...
Traligill
this is one 'movie' I am not going to see looks spooky to me, great stuff!!
frndofyaweh
quintessential?? Now I think, I know what big words mean, but,.....just a minute still looking it up......have heard this word often, but I really am curious of it's meaning, origin........got it: from the midievel english originally. Quintessence or the essence of the fifth element that formed the universe(like in the movie, The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis). Quintessential; the pure concentrated essence of anything. Hmmmmm, Monday always bad....so culminating all that is Monday would not be all good?....!!!! Oh, why thank you, Digimon! My Mondays are hardly ever, quintessential.
SamTherapy
Very cool. Cheesy story or not, this image is excellent.
