To begin my name is Vincent Brown. live in San Francisco, California. I grow up in the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles area.
I moved to the SF bay area in the early 90's in the hope of attending art school. I was planning to study industrial design. Unfortunately for me a recession hit the US in the early ninety's. So my schooling was put on hold. I was never able to get back to it. However, throughout the decade I managed to work on my design skills by picking odd graphic jobs here and there. By the end of the ninety's I was working as a full time videographer. Still keeping my hand in graphics.
About that time I was doing some graphics for a friend who wanted me to add some 3D to the work I was doing. I was given a copy of Bryce from a friend that was a game developer and some how was connected to the 2.0 development team of Bryce. I had to teach myself the program. It didn't come with any manuals. I learned enough to finish the project. But that was it I was hooked on the 3D environment.
Working as a videographer by day while at night on my Bryce skills. Someone called it "Making worlds."
So where am I now? At present I am continuing to work on my 3D skill set. Learning Poser, Wings3D and DAZ Studio and most resently Hexagon. I still have a lot to learn. I hope to acquire knowledge of other programs as time allows. My hope is to someday work as a 3D illustrator. I'm working on it.
I hope you enjoy my gallery.

Those were magic times, reading those pulp fantasies as a youth. :) Do try and find out who the origianl artist was.

Ken Fagg was doing work for IF at that time. I would say it also looks like his style but a lot of Science Fiction illustration looked like that so I can't say for sure.

As best as I can tell you followed the design closely. I would love to get my hands on some of these old sci fi mags. I would really love to see some more of your work.

I really wished I had lived back in those days. It seemed like the Science Fiction of the time was so much more interesting in those days.

Up-date the artist was Edward Valigursky. Not Ken Fagg.
