My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

Wow, that's a killer birdbox, Tony. Kind of different for you but well done and amusing. The wood surfaces are realistic looking and the wings of the bird have motion and movement.

Before I'd read your explanation, I thought it was an illustration of the fact that birds had evolved from dinosaurs - I think I like this more than an attack on the bird! That's one of the joys of art - people see things in differnt ways (as I have found from people's comments here!). Wonderfully put together, however you see it!

Funny thing about your comment is that we eat chicken, turkey, squab, etc., and yet somehow we think of a bird as being off limits....lol lol. Enjoyed you explanation and work.

That's a really nice job! You're developing some real Photoshop skills to go with your already good skills with Bryce, etc. Very cool!
