I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Great scene! I especially like the landscape and the DOF. The comm station is nicely done, too.

Great scene, you really captured that desolate feeling. I love the dirt you put on the truck and ComStation. Excellent!

Beautiful image, congratulations.

Wow Jacob, your a chip off Chipps old block with that cool modelling in Vue, awesome freebie my man. Are most of your models done in Vue and possibly with Chipps tools. (edit) Forgot to say something about the render itself, Doh. Superb render and top notch job, the DoF is very cool and really adds to the overall feeling of realism, and her pose is first class.

Thanks again everyone and hope you can make use of my little freebie. Chris: You're correct. Most everything I model is done inside of Vue using VueTools. I just love how quickly one can pull an object like this together without having to use an outside modeler. Ok, I did cheat on the cables, but if one was patient enough you could make those in Vue as well ;)

"Uhmm . . . Hunnie? Hi! Yeah, you know when you said to check the hydro-cell one last time before heading out? Well, I got distracted and . . . it's outta water . . .! Why else would I be using a land-line . . .? Oh, DON'T start! That was a WHILE ago! Hey, who controls the nookie? That's what I THOUGHT, now get here before the buzzards pick your wife's bones clean. Then it's DEFINITELY no nookie for you . . .! Well I have the mamms, so I always WIN! You got me on the tracker . . .? The Tilt-Rotor? Then there WILL be a reward for getting here so fast . . .! I love you too, Baby!"

Wicked freebie many thanks! Freebie aside, this is a great image - nice pov and sense of scale. It certainly looks desolate.
