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 ^_^

Oh, the Z-cars of the future! I love your retro (and very British?) touches!

Thanks Phil So many comics are told with an American sensibility but my comics are told with a variety of British accents^^... although I am heavily influenced by the work of my favourite manga artists in terms of style of story - is there such a thing as retrofuture-cyberpunk?

The BG of panel 1 is, to my opinion, too crude, the props ought to be much more detailed especially because the panel is very big, more than half of the page. Such a big panel is called a panoramic one and, according to professional comic rules, should make enjoy the environment in which the characters are situated. Panel 3, on the contrary, is nice and well detailed; I like the flying bus which is an excellent model! On the whole, I can say that "it works". This is an excellent comics! Do continue the good work! 5!
