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

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!

It would be nice if they raised the size limit for animations... You really cant do a lot with 512k... I am suprised that you packed this much into 512k... Very creative... I hate when wore holes show up, usually just when I get interested in what I am watching...

LOL at CSI Road Kill.I remember that one.Wonderful and creative work again,Eric.You never fail to make me smile.It's a shame you can't do all the things you'd like because of size limitations.Hope you are having a wonderful week.-M :^)
cujoe_da_man
lol, 'CSI Road Kill', right after 'The Cop Show with the Funny Sound', right? Great effect.

Clever and amusing scenario. Hmmm..., kinda wish I had one of these in my house. Too bad you had to limit your creative inspirations due to file size. That must make animations kinda frustrating, but you still pulled it off here. I like the idea that even a worm hole can't distract them from the prime time mind numbing drivel.
evinrude
That's so twisted. Fantastic work, and kick-in-the-seat-of-the-pants hilarious. Great hair jobs! I give it twelve stars out of five. (I never realized that CSI was so engrossing--is it the episode that Tarantino directed?)
