I am a self-taught artist working both in the 2D realm of traditional painting(watercolours,acrylics and ink) and the 3D realm of digital painting and CGI(mainly Bryce and Photoshop).My work is primarily SciFi,Fantasy and Landscape,as well as logo design and conceptual art.  I have always been interested in all things SciFi,as a kid growing up in Rushden,Northamptonshire,England I was a huge fan of such shows as The Thunderbirds,Captain Scarlet,Dr.Who and many more.Upon emigrating to Alberta,Canada I was captivated by the beauty of the Rockies and the diversity of wildlife and spent years studying animals and painting realistic wildlife scenes in watercolour.My originals hang in collections worldwide.Now,my attention has switched back to SciFi,and my knowledge of creature anatomy and habits,as well as colour sense and compositional skills now come into play in a whole new realm...3D.  During the day I work in a gallery and frameshop in Kelowna,BC,Canada where I have lived for almost thirty years.As the shop manager and master framer,I am constantly influenced by the art that is both shown in the gallery and framed for clients.  As a member of Renderosity for just over a year,I have come to know many of the artists here,and have been inspired by their works.I have also been fortunate to have works chosen for display on other sites,and to have been featured in articles in two digital magazines,all as a result of the exposure from this site.My goal is to continue,and push my knowledge with each image.Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery!

Oh my, I find it amazing how you can model these things in Bryce! Excellent modelling and texturing work.

Splendid modeling on the vehicles. I like how they look so rugged, and yet they can blow you to kingdom come with their firepower. Cool terrain work too, and the dust being blown up is icing on the cake. Sweet render for sure!

Wow, your creativity with this rover is awesome, Neil. Super ATMOS on this, especially with the rover kicking up a bit of dust.

Nice modeling and texturing. The depth of field effect you have with the terrain is also quite convincing, the foreground rocks in sharp focus as they are. Terrific work!!

Great Job Neil! I'm glad you decided to spice it up a bit! I love the model, looks awesome. Great textures and terrain! And noww..... onto your favorite part! :D Since these heavy duty machines are kicking up so much dust, I was thinking shouldn't they be leaving treads in the ground, or a little debris behind them? Thats about all I got... I think it would be great also if you turned the front wheels of the rover in the for-ground just to add interest. I just glanced up at it again, and I have to say, great model! I can tell a lot of time when into it. Keep up the great work! Jake
