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 ^_^

Love the effects Iain....wouldn't it just be cool if there was life on the moon? I would want to go there for sure, I've always been a moon person....If this image were a magazine, I'd be on my way to the sofa to curl up and read it...very well done my friend!

Brilliant as always Iain. Sadly I have to point out that you were not missing an 'a' from 'because,' you simply had it in the wrong place and it is still there, where the first 'e' should be. I think this one will be remembered by history as the 'cursed' edition of SSD. Probably due to radio signals from the Moon interfering with the printing press.

You know they have postage stamps, coins and such that have little blunders. Not spotted these gems get released and become very saught after at a premium, I think that is the case here! Cool cover art once again!!

Arrgh! Oh well, not going to change it again :( Thanks for the comments - I wonder what the signals mean? Did SSD ever find out?
ThunderStone
Well, it was a good cover... And if history proved anything, it's the blunder that's the most sought after... No need to worry. It's great!!!!

The radio signal translated into a single word, repeated over and again, burning itself into the subconscious of all who heard it. And the word was.... BACUSA !!!!!!!!
