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!

Hey, great work! Nice job on the cables. Not the way I did it, but your way works too, probably even better for a close up. Nice job on the platform, too.

I'm not so fond of the texture you have chosen for the land below, but other than that, I like it. I've noticed a lot of your characters are bald! I enjoyed seeing one with hair this time! :D

The land is actually supposed to be tidal flats where the tide has gone out...not a large land mass.Was going for an elevared view of about 100-300 ft.Thanks for the comments as always!

Neat modeling, like this one a lot. Cool sci-fi. Its an inspiration.

Very creative modeling, Neil. I suppose the character has no fear of heights, sitting on the very edge of this platform which seems to be elevated and hanging out over.

Wow, a fine example of excellent Bryce modelling again. I really enjoy seeing the character with hair (not that I have anything against bald people - I'm bald myself! :-)) The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the composition. Normally you have great compositions but this one seems unbalanced somehow, to my eyes. I have a feeling you wanted to show the maximum of the structure and so pushed the character too much to the right. Being the natural focal element, I think it would be better if she was nearer to 2/3 of the image. But that's just a subjective opinion. Nevertheless, the image looks great!
