I'm a 50-something Scotsman living in Glasgow, and I've been into CG art since 2005, and I like to think I'm not that bad at producing stuff that people like. I just hope I'm not deluding myself (^_^) My tastes run from glamour and fantasy, anime and manga, through to retro SF images and fake magazine and book covers.
I used Poser when I first started, but now I use DAZ Studio (latest version) for setting up and posing figures, and Bryce for the final renders. My own props and sets are created in TS4, which is a bit clunky, but it lets me build some interesting stuff. PhotoShop and Gimp are where it all comes together. I use only DAZ people in my artwork, as I find the Poser people a bit lacking in the looks and versatility department. I used to draw a lot, but discovering 3D has allowed me to create the kind of images I could never achieve with 'normal' media.
Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments that I have received. It's nice to get feedback from fellow artists. Makes posting the images seem worthwhile. At one time I was producing a CGI comic for a British comic-magazine called "Spaceship Away" but the editor decided that he would reduce my page count - and I decided that no he wasn't and pulled out all together. Although it lasted a short time it allowed me to experience life as a professional comics artist.
Hopefully it won't be my only time ^_^

I built it myself mate a few years ago, for Lightwave originally, and when you mentioned it was one of your favourite GA ships, well I knew I had to convert it into a Poser figure for you to play with ;¬) A brilliant image Iain, it really brings back some great memories from my childhood, which also shows my age LOL Cheers Billy

Thanks guys... Sorry Billy, should have realised it was your model ^^ The Angel pilot is just the P4 woman with a crash helmet and sunglasses. At this scale there's no way using Vicky would have made sense. The Mirage had to be postworked - it had a fixed undercart so I simply removed the gear in PhotoShop. The Mysteron circles were a custom mask applied to a Bryce square directional light directed at the cockpit area... so you can see there's no pilot. Anyone hear kettle-drums? DUM-DUM DUM DUM-DUM-DUM-DUM
