I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

Oooo that's scary. I saw a really big light hovering in our sky a while back, and it might be these guys. :D I love the lighting on the water, and your sky is excellent. Congratulations on getting all the good stuff, too!

Excellent scene, I love this movie and your scene

Foolish Earthlings, not even Tom Cruise in a big budget re-make can save them now! Seriously though, great pic, I like the water here especially. Have fun with Poser 7, it's a definite improvement over previous versions though it's still prone to "Surprise Crashes" at unexpected times (like say right before you save).

Well I like it. And it doesn't have any Tom Cruise, so that's good, too. LOL.

Awsome scenes from one of my favorite classic sci-fi stories Eric. Very nicely done. I would think about adding perhaps a few more deckhands on the boat and some white surf around the walker's legs and along the sides of the intrepid in your new PSCS3. :) Congrats on the new tools for creativity!

You're right Kort, that and I wanted to have meteor-like martians falling from the sky, deck gun shots hittin Martian shielding...
