My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

Great 'creature' Tony. And aptly named by Nazul. Love those Latin genus names. Anyhow, the swamp grasses are a brilliant addition. Very nice render.

Another fantastic & scary image. You're really good at creating images from basic shapes. You'll have to give me a lesson in it!!

ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, Deb's eggs hatched, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.................LOL........That is one creepy guy but I love his colors and he does have great detail and I can see you put a lot of work into him but can you put him back in the egg, glue it shut, something before all these creatures are running a muck in Renderosity....LOL....Great image Tony, very well done!

This is awesome - and a fantastict title GIGLE - i think this could be a great poster there is so much life in there - an advise ...if you havent done so - if you are using super quality then try to turn op Rays Pr Pixel means a lot i antialiasing (and hell of lot more in rendertime :-) :-))
