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!

The whirlwind effects are great, Neil. And the addition of the ship gives a real sense of scale to the render. Kudos for having another SciFi Weekly featured image.

Fantastic! It's a great landscape, but those twisters are the highlight - very nice work indeed! If I was exploring an alien landscape like this I would stay WELL away from them (assuming my flying is like my driving)! ;) Many thanks for the dedication Neil I'm honoured - and such a great image!

Great work Neil The tornado's are absolutely awesome! I love them! The rest of the image seems a little grainy though, but I'm assuming it was the look you were going for since there would probably be a lot of sand floating through the air on this planet.
