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!

Another stunning render Neil, fantastic modelling work. This is the kind of modelling I want to achieve as well as your excellent terrain work. I have a lot to learn, great image. Tony :-)

Looks as tho, in your hands, you can make Bryce do anything. This is fantastic modeling work and the ATMOS is most suitable.

Well done - Excellent work. Were the terrains and monastery modelled inside Bryce?

Yes alexclark,the monastery was created out of bryce primitive shapes(presets) with some being "negs" to cut out openings,the terrains were created in the terrain editor("E" when you create your terrain opens up the editor where you can create custom terrains and adjust your resolution etc.)Thanks for asking-Neil.

Nicely done. Bryce still has a lot of juice in it. Keep it up.

Very good modelling work. The structure, although of a somewhat alien nature, does remind a monastery. Good terrain work too.
