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 ^_^

Very well done. I seem to remember the laser blasts being red, so you're fine as far as I'm concerned. Nice painting effect as well.

I think there were a couple of AT-STs as well...but ya, as five by five says I think you got it too.

Great stuff - love the render. What was your original resolution - wouldn't mind seeing this larger, it's such a great scene!

The original resolution was about 1300 wide. A setting of 1.5 on the 70mm setting in Bryce 5. Any bigger and I'd still be rendering it now LoL I also used a bit or forced perspective by making the two closer ones larger. I created the misty look by plonking a flattened sphere with a cloud texture over the entire scene. Postwork helped as well. Glad you like it chaps.

Great image, but have to disagree with Empire being the best, that, in my opinion has to go witht e original, A New Hope.

i like the cloud of smoke in the background and the slight mist by the ground. Cool!
