Bios
I began my computing life on a commodore vic20 and I started playing with 3d ray tracing programs in 1984 on an Amiga 500. In these days I run on Windows7 64-bit with an i7 and 12 gigs of ram and 1.7 gig 295 GPU video card. My programs of choice for 3D is Poser7 Pro, Carrara 7 Pro, Vue6.5 infinite, Lightwave 8.5, Modo 401, Z-Brush 4, 3D Coat3.5 . For the 2D stuff CS2, Painter 10, Particle illusions, Apophysis206_3Dhack . So as you can see I have a huge arsenal of programs to get the job done. One thing I do believe in is being able to model and customise your own stuff, and creating your own textures, if you can't then you are at the mercy of other people’s thoughts. I never stand on the one spot for long I’m constantly developing different technique and styles from 2D to 3D I want to learn it all, and my best advice to people is knowledge is you best weapon, in being a better artist. If you have to pay for good tutorials do it, live on the forums this is the best free source you can get, and never give up.
Screen Name
Where did the name Midnight_stories come from? Well I grew up reading comics like eerie and creepy I love the darker things, and evil fascinates me. I wanted to produce comic like those, ones that made you think. So I named myself Midnight_stories.

Devil Dog Studios
I was member of Devil Dog Studios, it all started with Christopher Haigood (AKA) mestophales , contacting me about doing morphs for the Manitou and one thing led to another. They needed someone who could do morphs and rigging, I may have stretched the truth a bit about the rigging, but don’t tell Brent.  They gave me the Creech to rig from scratch, and it was sink or swim stuff for me. It was a 2-3 week deadline and I had to learn quick there was no help out there, I quit a few times but the guys kept telling me you can do it. We got there in the end and the Creech ended up being one of the best  figures in Poser 8, well I guess that a matter of opinion. We’ve all moved on from those days but still stay in contact and continue to work on projects together. I have a lot to thank DevilDogStudios for and they helped me to become what I am today.
These Days
These days I have my own store and do this full time, I’ve streamlined character development from a month into a week ,sometimes days. I have a big base mesh library thanks to mestophales and Vlk. I’ve been doing more modelling than rigging lately so I hope the quality is lifting. So that’s about it. If anyone wants to throw ideas at me feel free to contact me here or at my web site.
Well thanks for looking and I'll see you on the edge, when the time comes.
All the best !!!!
From the mind on the other side

Well, these pics aren't exciting in the tradicional way... in the car-exploding way, but it's really necessary to exist in the course of the story... Keep it up! :D

I agree with lh_cerdeira... Even going to Walt Disney World, requires the long haul of getting there to enjoy the fullness of the trip. Keep it coming... Beautiful art by the way.

Nice work. Agree, the art accompanies the narrative well.

I can tell it's about to get real deep. I can't wait to see the connection between him and the man in the suit. I have my ideas, I'll just have to see what happens. I'm just loving it!

Man, you've churned out pages since last time I checked in. Must check in more often from now on! Fascinating story - you really don't bother with small-scale plotlines, do you LOL This is a very intriguing retelling of the Bible. Is it leading up to the second coming of God's son, or is mr. Adams the Almighty himself? The name is full of hints : Adam, the first (hu)man, and David, the one favored by God. One your main characters seems to be Yahwe himself, and is he having problems! The destruction of Sodom is a fascinating illustration of the basic inconsistency of God's wish for His creations - if Man had only been given free will to make the choices God wanted, or else... Well, then why have free will at all? The "I want you to love me, but not because I tell you to." is a very human-like weakness for a God. Your graphics are still not my cup of tea, digital imitating brush/pen work seems to me like canvas painting trying to look like cave paintings - why should it?. But that's just my preferences, you've got a strong, clear graphic style in its own right, and your storytelling is equally powerful. Keep it up - a lot more people would read the Bible if it was presented as richly as this telling is!!!
