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!

Awesome render, Neil...this is a must view full size to appreciate all of the detail. Stunning terrain and distance ATMOS. Craft is highly detailed and well-modeled. And the 'skid' marks left by the craft sliding over the terrain is a special effect only you would have thought of including. Kudos to you on this one.

As Keith says this image comes alive in full-view, the terrain work shows up a lot better and the detail in the crashed spacecraft is fantastic. A fav. Tony :-)

The realistic mats you used for the crashed ship are perfect. Looks very disabled. Your blend of the mountain terrains and the ground terrain is fantastic! I know how tough it can be. Really a fantastic image:))))
