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!

Dawn patrol indeed - it's about 6.00am here. Fine job. Nice composition, great colour mood and textures. Lovely lighting too! ...and as I said, timely!

Nice snow texture! Ships look good too.

Nice scene! Great color!

I like how this is posed, but the mountain scale is so small, it feels like a set piece instead of real "area". Maybe next time, do the mountains much bigger to get more depth to the picture? I constantly make them thousands of BU in scale. Other than that, this is a great piece of work.

Great camera angle on this one, Neil. Really like your terrain and star ship surface mats. Nice sense of movement you have achieved.

Your bryce modelling skills fascinate me. How long do you take to model a ship like this? Good lighting and POV.

Thanks for the comments...to mboncher,my terrains were intended to be low lying,like those of the Badlands in the US or here in Canada...not large mountain ranges.I can see how they can be seen as larger mountain peaks,however,and I appreciate your comment!To Rutra...these ships took about 4 hours to create,from concept sketch on paper to building in bryce.Thanks again...I'm off to check out your galleries!
