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 ^_^

I do like this dramatic view. This is "classic SF" at it's best!

Ah yes, the first issue with the "Man in Space" editorials by Professor Questor. It was because of the good Professor and his "man has no business in space" stance plus no Crudworthy stories, that I let my subscription to Space Science Digest lapse. I guess that I wasn't the only one to not subscribe as, within three months, Professor Quartermass wrote a wonderful article that refuted Professor Questors editorials. Space Science Digest really hit it's zenith in the 60's with photos of the first year of the Mars Station. Just trying to "prime the pump" as I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for renders :)
