Helix3d is me, Russ Colwell and my wife Christina. The name was derived from my fascination with the Helix Nebula (The Eye of God). I've been working in digital art for about 10 years. I have about 30 years experience as a welder/metalsmith and I also enjoy photography. My wife Christina has been doing mixed media art since childhood. This is a (rebirth) of my original gallery here. In addition to some landscape photography, I love to model spacecraft. I have had alot less time to work in my sci fi genre since we began to work on a business building custom metal, glass, tile, stone, wood, concrete, and what ever else we can come up with in the way of materials, furniture and accessories for the home. We love doing mosaics. But I have found a deep longing within me to take some of my very spare time and start modeling spacecraft again. I see a space ship in my minds eye and I want to make it fly.
We live in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, and travel often to the beautyful deserts and canyons.

Nice image. Great detail on the ship; I see the tiny thrusters and the guide wires.

Nice modeling Russ but I don't understand what is coloring the moon? Where is the light source and color coming from? It can't be either star because of the angle. Also having a nebula so close would also add that hue to both the ship and moon. The ship model is well thought out and design by the way. I myself would really like to see a big version of just the ship though. Keep up the excellent modeling! Cheers, David ;-)
