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!

That is wild, using the terrain editor for the bedding! Love the lighting in this one.

Fantastic scene!

The lighting really sets the stage for this one, Neil. Your detailed narrative of how you have achieved the end result is fascinating. All of the extra steps taken for the placement of each item and mat. Very well done.

Impressive work!

A really sensitive scene with great lighting. Nice to see you hinting at the far distance future through the window.

The things you do in Bryce, amazing... Excellent scene, very well balanced. Wonderful lighting. The guy's pose is just right. The details provide that extra level of realism. Excellent work!

Fabulous modeling and texture work. The light, shadows and atmosphere add so much realism, sweet render for sure. I'm not a Bryce dude, but it was still interesting to read how you did it, nice work!

Nice soft lighting! The bedding trick was a great idea too.

cool try..the mood rocks

Not bad at all! I like your work on the comforter, although at first I thought she had covered up with a rock. Maybe a material or texture that was more fabric looking. But the rest of the scene is very well done. Nice work!

Excellent interior scene, Neil. I really like the way you have used the natural lighting. However, I must agree with Seaview123 - the comforter texture looks very rock-like...

Very nice scene, though I too must agree about the rock-comforter.

Great moody scne - gives a good effect to place the person in the shadows

Thanks for all the comments..the comforter texture is a camo print,was going for a non-shiny mat look,which does leave it looking like a rock but I didn't want anything to distract from the focus on the sunlit man...tricky to make these items look right in Bryce sometimes!

Atmospheric and wonderful composition !

Very cool. I like the posing and the lighting, this story is laden with subtext and implied story. Great work!

Really nice work! Interiors are a pig to get right in bryce. The comforter looks too hard, not soft enough to be a blanket, but fair play for giving it a go!! Still a great scene though, good lighting and i really like the cabinet with the "tv" screen!!

Impressive interior work! Very well composed and excellent details. I like the way you've done the bedclothes that must have been very difficult.
