I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Wow this looks great!

Brilliant vessel - it's a flying sub. The intakes are excellent, as is the lighting and detail. Great work.

I like the look, kind of retro, especially with the Dreadnought guns and bunting. The tie ropes ground it in that retro reality too. Only one small niggle, I think the DOF blur might be too strong, at least on the ship anyway.

What a bloody good idea... flying battleships and docks without water... topper scene too!

Nice ship! Great detail, especially all the little flags.

Wonderful composition and lighting. Of special note is all the detail texture work, which really sells the reality of the concept. Great mood and atmosphere, too! Aw heck, a new fave on all levels!

Mighty fine! Glad to know the officer of the deck still says "cast off fore and aft" in the 33rd century!!

Big Ship + Big Guns = Hot! - I really like the texturing and modeling you have done here. Very nice dock setup as well - I like the moving of supplies to the ship. I wonder why you are using standard kinetic rifle turrets? are they lasers or are you considering rail guns? I have always thought the standard turrets was an interesting retro idea that has managed to survive as a feature of future ship design.

Imposing sense of scale. Nice texturing all around as well. Wouldn't want to get anywhere near these guys!
NefariousDrO
Very cool! Nice atmosphere, and super model!
IdiotMinion
oh yeah, yamato, that's what i thought, too! outstanding work, it's all those little details!

Finishing off the 80% lingerers, again I must say, that you're an inspiration. Here's the kind of detail this model doesn't get to show off much as folks would probably go for a wider shot of the whole ship. Glad you've got some humans in the foreground for scale. The two guys talking are probably discussing how the aft guns haven't melted being so close to the exhaust. ; ) Looking forward to the next one, don

Fantastic idea and composition - everything from the ship to the supply transports and the guard just fits together perfectly.
Shiroyama
great depth and detail, the three guys really give it that sense of scale -- excellent work!
timtripp

Composition, light, mats, perspective, all most impressive...amazing image!!!!!

Kool use of DOF and overall composition, I agree, tying up a behemoth like this with ropes is crazy, but a fun concept, must be an Anime thing ? BTW, the flags are a neat touch, very well done ! ~Cheers~
