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 just enjoy transporting the original designs into a world they missed as wire-flown model. Not updated or 'improved' - kept pure and unsullied as they were when they appeared on our screens as kids. I have more of these to do - so many ^_^ Thanks DrO

Love your explanation Iain. As we get older, the ability to suspend disbelief gets harder. Looking at your images brings back some of the thrill and the "I can't wait for the next episode" feeling :) Plus: Your work is Top Shelf!!!

Wonderful scene and render. SPECTRUM is green, I can still remember the name of the Angels, how sad is that;,) I loved Captain Scarlet, he was my fav as a kid.

Fantasic image my friend, as was the last Thunderbirds one...(I forgot to add a reply to that one, sorry), great memories of a more interesting/innocent time in my life, when Daleks were scary and these folk were real to me. S.I.G
