I dont think of myself as an artist - more a creatively minded laymen. Im blessed with perpetual inspiration, but cursed by a lack of talent.
I have always loved to sketch, and on the odd occasion even paint. Unfortunately for me, a real world canvas doesnt have an undo button. This is why, back in 1996, I first started toying with a Shareware version of Paint Shop Pro (found on the cover of a magazine). I knew almost instantly that digital art was for me.
Fast forward to 2006, when I discovered a highly under-rated (yet unfortunately limited) program called FaceGen. Within hours of tinkering with the software I was creating realistic characters well beyond anything I could have managed via traditional mediums. But what to do about bodies for my newly created digital brethren?
I took it upon myself to scour the internet in search of a 3D software package that was flexible enough to fulfil my specific needs, while still being NOOB friendly. Untimely I didnt want to spend months, or even years deciphering the ins and outs of 3D Studio Max for instance.
It wasnt long before I caught digital whisperings of a program called Poser, which lead me eFrontiers very own site.
In search of more examples of Poser art I found myself inevitably at Renderosity...and I havent looked back since.
The community here is certainly a mixed bunch (as are all communities, online especially), but in the great majority they have proven to be incredibly helpful, and wonderfully supportive.
If you plan on commenting on my images (and I certainely hope you do) while praise is always appreciated, critical analysis and constructive criticism is encouraged.
Happy rendering!

veryt nice work...i think your flames could do with being a bit more defined in places....but other than that its great to see a before and after shot! well done!

Excellent image. I like it.

Nicely done, that guyver model is excellent, and you've done a brilliant job of adding effect in the post work.
ClawShrimp
Thank you all. I agree with you kirisute. My flames could use a little more definition in places to help avoid the dreaded 3D model on 2D background problem.
kbobbitt

I wish I could take credit for this amazing model thecytron. It was created by Royloo and is available free from his website (check Free Stuff for a link).

Beautiful work.

The distortion from the heat on his left hand is inspired... nice attention to detail... more defined flames can be easily added if you have access to bryce, just load a simple sphere on a black background, change the material to volumetric flame, render then import as new layer, set to lighten or screen and erase areas you don't like... that's something I use for flame effects. -T

Thankyou for the advice Wasgo. I wont be doing anything more to this image (you have to let go sometimes), but I will certainly this in mind for the next time I need fire.
