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 ^_^

That sure looks like Anthony Appleyard's UFO alien. He even has a version of the UFO ship at one of his two sites. Another great image!

Nice work! You what else came to mind on this: "Spaceman Spiff has crashed!" (With apologies to Calvin and Hobbes) Nice piece.

Great scene - and s*** happens, poor alien ;)

Great flames on your crash scene.

I made the alien model. How did you make the flames? One of my UFO models has inside rooms and a cockpit.

Anthony - the flames are a Bryce procedural texture that i used on a sphere and placed it around the UFO. Smoke is also a procedural texture on an elongated sphere. Sorry for not remembering that you made the alien. Once these models are in my Runtime folder of Bryce model directories I always forget where I got them. Great model though, although a separate (second skin) layer for the silver bits and collar would be great.

Not one of your best. The scene is too simple with some default bryce terrains, and it is a little out of scale compared to the ufo and the alien. I know you could do better (as you always do)! Please do it again! :) Interesting fire and smoke effect.
