My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

deserved to win, though I liked the 'alternate' as well. It's almost an underwater scene, but a heavy spring rain can feel underwater many times. You've captured the deep-marine patina of land under a rainfall, your dapples of light—almost pools of light—make it feel like an ocean floor, and your flowers—which add dabs of beautiful color into this largely green & yellow-green landscape—are beautifully conceived. A fav for this and "Spring," just to say that I think they're equally fine. I'll catch up with more of your latests, but I really wanted to walk into your earlier works too. I'll do more of that too, as I return...

Bit late. But this is simply awesome!

Excellent job on the rain, that is very hard to do and make it look real and you've done it beautifully. Congrats on the win too, even if a bit late. My defense, I was not posting on RR in 2008. :) The lighting is superb!
