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 ^_^

Now we know the REAL meaning behind the cryptic "Bacuse" and "Excusive" (SSD #50)..... It was a long-hibernating computer virus from Outer Space!

I feel your pain, I just lost a drive with 250G of my art, poser scene files, pictures, programs, oh I think I'm gonna start crying again....

I can laugh about it now (as the machine is now running once again and I am gathering all of my models together again - sheesh!), but at the time it was heart-ache! Luckily my artwork is preserved here on Rendo and on my own site, so while the originals are gone, web versions still remain... my legacy continues ^_^

Had that happen, more than once :( Happy to hear that you are on the road to data recovery. Looking forward to the next issue of the Space Science Digest :)

It's happened to me a couple of times, that's why I now have 2 external hard drives to back everything up.
