Been doing this over a year now and I'm still not quite sure how to define it. Is it art or not? Can we be said to be really creating our images, given that we're using computer programs and models made by others? And, for that matter, what is its official title? Personally I call my work "using Daz Studio because of a total inability to draw or paint." It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. I suppose it doesn't matter in the end. As PG Wodehouse said, it makes me happy and keeps me out of public houses.
My main influences are Manet, Edward Hopper, Caravaggio and Pieter Bruegel. The first two gave me an interest in realism, the third created an addiction to light and shade, and the last nurtured my overall misanthropy.

Why Is This Here?
All my renders are there, including the ones I hate. There's also a rag-bag of assorted writings and photos.
I've also recently started a blog about this whole business:
Can't Paint Can't Draw
Thanks to everyone who's submitted Free Stuff to this site - especially some of the wonderful Vicky textures. Sorry to anyone who I don't credit. It's down to the disorganisation of my hard drive rather than an evil heart.

Well Andrew to me it was worth the effort because the final result is a realistic scene that was taken from your memory. Nice one

Well, I think it was worth it, of course I dont know all the details, lol. Excellent image and fantastic lighting. Good to "see" you again.

Wonderful, VERY clear and VERY well lit D/S scene, LOTS more difficult than you made it look. From one D/S guy to another, very nice job! A few more details here and there would be nice, but its pretty obvious you have a great mastery of the essentials.

Yes, this is really, really worth the effort. I tried to do something similar, a riverside urban scape once, and I had to give up because of perspective/depth issues. You work your way around that problem quite well with the way your street fades into the black. I also love the lighting and mood. Great job!
