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!

Thank you, Neil! I've installed the hologram as instructed, but I'm getting a message saying that I must wait 247 years before the technology is available to power it up... :o) Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thanks for all the marvelous visual feasts you've provided through the year.

A different and well done Christmas card render, Neil. The render time paid of very well for you. The mats you have used for her outfit echo the seasonal colors and I especially like the hologram snow globe she is holding. Merry Christmas to you and your's.

Very interesting composition, very balanced, as usual. Her outfit is really cool and I like the reflection of the sky in her jacket. The hologram is well done. Three minor points: There's a very sharp triangle like shadow in her belly. That kind of thing also appears in Vue (it's related with the bump map) and I'd know how to correct it there but I have no idea in Bryce. Her hair seems too doll like, IMO. I have a feeling there should be some small rocks or pebbles spread on the ground. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a fantastic 2009!
