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!

They are both equally great, Neil. But what you have done with this one kind of gives the effect of whatever they are looking at is looking back at them thru its amber colored eyes which hone right in and intensify the subjects.

Excellent work, Neil. I think the postwork has intensified the mood, and places greater focus on the characters (wheeled and bipedal). Hard to choose, but I think I prefer this version.
DarkStormCrow
Excellent!

And this version good!

I sort of liked the previous one better, myself. Not that this one isn't nice too.

Fantastic work.

Cause of the color I prefer the first one, on the other hand this one is more focused of those characters...

Great render!

Excellent SF scene - really like that you don't overdo(?) the colouring in these

The original one looks more natural, like they are in a desert with the warm glow of the sun. This version is more interesting and places emphasis on the characters alright, but it leaves the question; why is it like that?

I have compared the two and I like the effects. The vignette you applied gives it a wonderful focus. By the way, I see people have been stealing your work again! Make sure that is jumped upon and alert Renderosity - we can't have that here or anywhere on the internet, it would lead to chaos. Artists would start to withdraw their work. I saw the offending article and I couldn't believe how blatant the guy was!
