Hi,
My name is Dean Etheridge and welcome to my bio.
I practice as a qualified engineering design professional, using high-end 3D modelling and manufacturing software. My product designs are specified globally on a wide variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace and other diverse high-technology applications.
I possess a solid grounding in the use of traditional media techniques, and my work naturally progressed to encompass advancements in the use of digital tools. From here, it was a small step to rediscover my love of more uniquely artistic themes.
My graphic style has always been strongly associated with reproducing realism as closely as possible, and probing the envelope of how this can be achieved across different sets of software packages.
I am honoured to have had my work selected for publication in several areas. These include the DAZ/deviantART ‘12 Months of 3D’ competition; ‘ImagineFX’ magazine; Ballistic Publishings’ ‘EXOTIQUE 2’ and 'EXOTIQUE 4' and '3DArtist' magazine.
My other interests are photography and travel. For the latter, I have been privileged to have travelled to, and explored many continents around the world. My favourite second home is SE Asia, and I am greatly influenced by both it’s people and culture.
I currently live in the UK with my wife and daughter who are both very special to me, and hugely supportive in my work.

Great action image. You have captured the beauty and power of these awesome machines very well. Wonderful lighting!

Things like motion blur, HDRI lighting, DOF, complex texture mapping and Ambient occlusion are some of the advanced processes that make CGI look almost like an actual photograph. Many of those techniques are used here. The mark of distinction for a very well done scene.

Excellent composition and atmosphere. Looks very good as an illustration. I miss your ladies, though.

Nice use of the sunlight here and the subtle shadow of the fighter carrier in the background. A classic air flight scene.

This mission met the same fate as submarines. Something practiced over and over but never really used any more in combat.

Great to see you exploring new avenues Dean, nicely done. My only suggestion would be to try and make the water a little more reflective. Whether its my eyes or not that is the problem, lol, but a better water surface would really add to the lighting and an otherwise great scene. I will be in touch soon anyway with the next chapters and also an updated image of Lizan. Talk to you soon, Steve.
