My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

For beginning it looks pretty darned good to me. It really is a beautiful image. The sunset is gorgeous. You'll just get better and better as you go. Excellent!!!!

Photorealism is good if that is what you are going for. Sometimes a romantic artistry is better. The sky color is great. It would be nice if the foreground foliage showed up a little better, or was sillouetted against the background more.

I agree with above, sometimes artistic looks nicer than crisp photorealism. This is very lovely - beautiful colours !
