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!

Wow! Nice scene! Nice job on everything here! I love the terrain and atmosphere!

Nice scene! The DOF makes it look like the probe is being observed from a distance. Just a suggestion: since the probe is small compared to the rest of the image, perhaps a contrasting color for it would make it stand out more against the background.

Excellent terrain and idea! Would like to see the probe stand out a little more. Maybe expand his probing beam? It's gonna take him a long time to explore the whole planet!

Outstanding landscape and rock formations. Well done.

Great terrain composition and far planet. I like the excellent DOF, centering the attention to the ship and it's surrounding area.

Great terrain. Fantastic scifi scene!!

Creative rock strata formations and good use of DOF. The addition of the distant moon brings the entire scene together. Interesting use of lattices and terrains for the probe.

That's a wonderful sci-fi render. Great terrains, and I really like hte use of the blue to indicate the sensor array

you create really convincing atmospheres in Bryce! Love the shadows, too.

I've always loved unadorned Bryce terrains - you are a master at terrain sculpting to creating believable scenes with depth, history and ongoing story - all with a few simple elements! Great POV and lighting are always a large part of your secret/success... :o)

Yes very well done.

Very cool! I love the terrain in this, and that probe is excellent. What also really makes this is the DOF.
