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 ^_^

So not only do we get messages from the moon mate, you have the young Patrick Moore in this issue too, I thought this issue had disapeared, wonderful, you don't by any chance have the later one when Mr Moore and that young American chap Carl Sagen do their discussion about life on other worlds do you mate, it ends up starting that whole USUK Uranus expedition that was planned, it was such a shame the lack of technology at the time scuppered this

The signals were so strong that amateur radio operators could pick them up. While officially the signals were random bursts, some of the ham operators said that the message was in Morse code. The message, "C A V O R" repeated over and over again. One newspaper reported that Professor Quatermass' father had been taught by a Professor Cavor. When reporters asked, Professor Q would just say, "No comment!"

Thunderstone - yeah I noticed after I had uploaded it :( (There's also an 'a' missing from because) Put it down to the staff at SSD rushing to get that headline done, lol I'll upload a corrected version later.
