I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Awesome! I love your attention to detail, even included the Hobart welder (good choice). You really tied all the textures together well and it comes off totally believable. Superb!
lunchlady
Excellent render! This scene is very nicely put together!

Awesome as always. I sometimes feel like you have been to these places and share you vacation photos with us...the settings are so "real" and the characters look like someone we could pass on the street. A fan for life!! Sarge

Really cool sci-fi.

Awesome work!

I agree. The texturing is phenominal. And the detail is superb. You mentioned the "world matters" textures a couple times. Have to check it out. Also that is a well done character

Another success on RR, my friend. Are the tools size in inches or will the Universe choose metric tools?

Yep, great job! Lighting is a bit dark on my computer, but it's obvious the scene is set up well.

Excellent render!

Awesome job on making it look like a dirty old repair shop, the textures look amazing. Nice touch with all the little details, this is what I imagine a well used repair shop would look like. Awesome render for sure!!
NefariousDrO
I like this one! Dark and gritty, just like what you'd expect a repair garage to look like.
Rainbowgirl
WOW! That's what I call impressive! I love all the details and I love the guy's pose and your lighting!
