My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

The style in which you have set the image to render creates such a field of distance it seems to go on forever. Plus, it has created quite a breezy motion look to the foreground palm trees. The 'ketch' in the distance adds another object view point as well. Glad you decided to post this one as it's a beauty.

It doesn't matter if they take 5 minutes or 5 days. They can still be worth a 5. This is actually very good. Great impact!

I agree with e-brink,sometimes an image takes little time and effort to produce,but the impact can be as good or better than if you took a week...this is such an image.Love the drama with your lighting choice and camera lens,details are great!Nicely done Tony!
