I am a self-taught artist working both in the 2D realm of traditional painting(watercolours,acrylics and ink) and the 3D realm of digital painting and CGI(mainly Bryce and Photoshop).My work is primarily SciFi,Fantasy and Landscape,as well as logo design and conceptual art.  I have always been interested in all things SciFi,as a kid growing up in Rushden,Northamptonshire,England I was a huge fan of such shows as The Thunderbirds,Captain Scarlet,Dr.Who and many more.Upon emigrating to Alberta,Canada I was captivated by the beauty of the Rockies and the diversity of wildlife and spent years studying animals and painting realistic wildlife scenes in watercolour.My originals hang in collections worldwide.Now,my attention has switched back to SciFi,and my knowledge of creature anatomy and habits,as well as colour sense and compositional skills now come into play in a whole new realm...3D.  During the day I work in a gallery and frameshop in Kelowna,BC,Canada where I have lived for almost thirty years.As the shop manager and master framer,I am constantly influenced by the art that is both shown in the gallery and framed for clients.  As a member of Renderosity for just over a year,I have come to know many of the artists here,and have been inspired by their works.I have also been fortunate to have works chosen for display on other sites,and to have been featured in articles in two digital magazines,all as a result of the exposure from this site.My goal is to continue,and push my knowledge with each image.Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery!

well, the modelling's fine, all you need is really the textures. what i would suggest is first to get a hold of a uvmapping. then just look for hull plating tuts :)

A very cool sci-fi scene - love the POV as it adds real dynamics to this! Very well modelled ship - its a stunner! Smooth, yet purposeful. In terms of textures, create a new bitmap in your favourite photo-editing software (1024 x 1024 is a good start). I think there may be a tutorial here about creating bitmaps for textures. There is a very useful filter in Photoshop called offset which, once you've added some colour/shapes/whatever to your bitmap, iwll automatically offset it so that the final bitmap will wrap around once you've used it on an object so it looks very natural. I've used my own bitmaps for textures in a few of my pieces: have a look at "From Time to Time", "Healing the Sea" and "Age of Copper" for some examples. Enjoy - its great fun!

For onece I agree with Draculaz. But it's a very cool scene nonetheless. 3

Shockingly good for such a simple scene. I think the stock textures look fine. You've mapped them perfectly; the "lights" giving life to all the objects..
