I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Geez, that terrain and sky is freaking incredible! Wish I had something more intelligent to say, but my head is up against the screen with mouth agape- its really damn, damn awesome! The lighting on the ship is exactly what you would expect from this scene- its realism on the highest level! The man at the edge of the cliff is what gives us a sense of scale. Brilliant render and imagination- not to mention the technical skill necessary to pull this off. My hat is off to you sir, well done and thank you for sharing this great vision!

I think jdehaven said it best here, the realism in this one and the sense of scale are simply outstanding. This is definitely something that would make a great wallpaper/print for fans if it were made available in a larger format.
