I'm a 50-something Scotsman living in Glasgow, and I've been into CG art since 2005, and I like to think I'm not that bad at producing stuff that people like. I just hope I'm not deluding myself (^_^) My tastes run from glamour and fantasy, anime and manga, through to retro SF images and fake magazine and book covers.
I used Poser when I first started, but now I use DAZ Studio (latest version) for setting up and posing figures, and Bryce for the final renders. My own props and sets are created in TS4, which is a bit clunky, but it lets me build some interesting stuff. PhotoShop and Gimp are where it all comes together. I use only DAZ people in my artwork, as I find the Poser people a bit lacking in the looks and versatility department. I used to draw a lot, but discovering 3D has allowed me to create the kind of images I could never achieve with 'normal' media.
Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments that I have received. It's nice to get feedback from fellow artists. Makes posting the images seem worthwhile. At one time I was producing a CGI comic for a British comic-magazine called "Spaceship Away" but the editor decided that he would reduce my page count - and I decided that no he wasn't and pulled out all together. Although it lasted a short time it allowed me to experience life as a professional comics artist.
Hopefully it won't be my only time ^_^

Outstanding! You captured the classic look of Gold Key comics. I agree with TheBryster, they do look young ... was it that long ago? Gosh, I feel old ; LOL!!!

Perfect tribute to the comic! At time we have the same comics in Italy... I've collect them all ;) BRAVO!

Duo, looks like they got all over the place, eh? Thanks for the kind comments, guys. The font was the thing that enabled me to produce this image...otherwise it could have been just another Trek image. Might try another one...with figures this time... and in true Gold Key/Wyndham tradition they won't look like anyone!!

Nicely done! Sure does capture the look of those old Gold Keys. I all but lived on those things in between the time the series ended here in the states and the first movie was finally released. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

It looks really cool what you've done. But do they escape the wrath of the dilithium pirates? Can't wait for the next issue to find out!!
