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!

Fabulous work, I love the grindhouse feel to it. I'm thinking a fella could have a lot of fun with this. you know color in the spatters, add some grunge kinda stuff, this would rock on any number of levels. I'd like to see ya do more of it, but thats just me. Nice work for sure, oh did I mention the composition? NICE!!!!

The image looks unusual and interesting. A better quality render would do it more justice. I find it really very disturbing that I cant see the eyes... most likely that this was your intention (so it works well).

Love the "grit" of the image. well done

good censoration of the blood seems so urban!!!

Well the composition is really great and I like the effects as a matter of fact. This reminds me of Pitch Black. Maybe the thing covering his eyes is the alien. And Riddick is avoiding the aliens line of sight. This works really well IMO.

To explore is a condition of art; so let´s give a welcome to the exploration and the curiosity within this image. I´ll keep looking forward to the next steps.

Thank you all for your possitive feedback. I honestly didn't expect any, given the incomplete nature of this image. I've had some very interesting suggestions from Newbie_Renderer that I'll toy with over the weekend (thanks!).

Your avatar reminds me of the black actor that starred in the matrix... great resemblence. I didn't figure out that was a sword in front of his eyes until my second or third look... The white splatter would look great in bright red.

Excellent!!!!

I like it the way it is, actually like the gritty feel. The only thing that looks out of place is the texture of the thing in front of his eyes (which I assumed was a blade). I don't mean it shouldn't be there, only that the texture or lack of looks wrong.
