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!

Another beauty. Your tilted camera angle adds great dynamism to the image.

Cool scene - great render and modelleing work

I would like to see more of the city but maybe that's what you wanted, to raise curiosity in the viewer. The ship in the foreground is important to understand the scale of this place. Good job.

Lovely work. A great scene. Well done!

makes you want to see it as an animated fly through.

Great POV and sense of scale, Neil. The terrain layering is really great and the background city skyline is tempting to want to explore...now, point me to the casinos..lol

Great concept and POV!

Excellent scene Neil, I must try this layered terrain technique. Great distant city and it's futuristic traffic. The banking always adds to an image as well. Tony :-)

I know how hard it is to create realistic scenes in bryce, that's why I gave up and went to Vue. You are doing a great job and all your other pictures are also stunning!

Good sense of scale and use of layered terrains. It's a technique I've used as well and it works well.
