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 ^_^

Great image my friend, are those things odd looking plants, or are the some kind of previously unknow alien lifeform that just look a bit like odd looking plants

Lander and alien are looking similar.... maybe the first prerequisite for a new friendship !

Wonderful image Iain!! Looks like the locals want a word with the pilot of that lander. Something about landing without a permit ;)

Lovely work. Those (are they aliens? Plants? - Whatever they are they're cool!) things next to the lander are so bizarre. I can't believe you made them in Bryce!

I didn't make the aliens. They are organics from MatCreator - gave him a credit at the top ^_^
