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 ^_^

A big fan of the series, and the Spindrift! Thanks!

I remember this one.The effects where quite good, except when a big cat appeared, that always seem'd amusing.(probably memories of 'Tiddles' in The Goodies.)Another great image, well done.

Cool comic design and great motion effect

Another one of my fav's, though I have to agree with neiwil about the cats, it is probably because of Tiddles too LOL

Wasn't Chipper the dog? And wasn't the dog killed off at some point (a death that had the same non-effect as the demise of Judy Robinson's space-chimp in the earlier LOST IN SPACE)? I owned the Spindrift model kit as a kid. In the "reality" of the Allen-verse, it was obviously based on Admiral Hiram Nelson's "Flying Sub" design principles. Got to say that the thing works as a futuristic equivalent of an executive jet but as the commercial airliner it was supposed to be, it was incredibly inept. A pilot, co-pilot, and stewardess but only six seats for passengers?!?!?!?!?!?

Yeah, know what you mean David... bit like putting a Stewardess in a minibus on the way to the airport... pointless. And yes, Chipper was the dog, hence I said Chipper AND the boy, lol ^_^ Thanks for the comments everyone Anyone know of a Seaview CG model??

Nice work! The Spindrift is one of my favorite scifi ships.
