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 ;)

I'm not a fan of war, maybe coming from a military family I know too much about what's possible today but having said that... I'm a fan of this fabulous, detailed and so well composed and lit image! Brilliant and a fav!

I love the apocalyptic feel. Excellent work.

what would be really cool is if that tank on the right was belching flame as it opened fire (or maybe I'm just a bit warped lol) Very nice render - looks fine on my monitor

dark n gloomy, with a bit of menace, def my type of pic i like, some pics dont need masses of light and reflections, this is alot darker than you normaly do, but as my stuff is normaly dark, i realy like this one youve done. brilliant work as ever. D

Nice job. A bit dark on my PC, but nice nonetheless. Did you Photoshop the smoke or is it metaclouds?
chrispoole
Luckily I have a high contrast monitor, and it looks superb, the smoke is particularly awesome, great job on the assembly of all the elements as always Jacob.
