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!

An awful lot of work, my friend. The BBC have a similar scene ( but an animated fly through ) as a signature introduction to their BB2 channel programmes. Regards, John.

Great scifi scene, like how you did the figures.

This is simply awesome and stunning work, Neil. Really a sense of proportion, scale and life here. Love the extraordinary futuristic modeling work as well.

Glad you finished this 'experiment'. A really great sci-fi image. I particularly like the addition of the people in the building and your overall attention to detail is excellent. Tony :-)

Wow...very cool scifi scene!!!

Excellent render! A great look for a futuristic utopia. Great work on the individual people aswell. My only critic would be, I feel the people would be a little more spaced out. Not in small clusters or rows. There could be a few small clusters but for a city of that size, people generally keep to themself. They look to orginized! Great work! It keeps getting better! Look forward to seeing more!

Great scene! Nice job on the figures. The terrain editor is kinda neat that way, but I hadn't thought of that trick.

Very nice work, excellent mood, agree with JCD about the magazine cover look. Cool idea about the characters making-of, that's really effective. Nice POV, too.
