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!

Those are impressive Bryce models. I especially like the rover. The POV makes for a powerful image.

Awesome!

Excellent action image with great light and fire effects. That leg of the RoboSpider comming to the foreground of the image is an excellent idea.

Great action, really accomplished smoke effects! And an excellent vehicle model, the undercarriage/axle part needs work but the top half looks cool! Nice one!

Nice rover! Now that's a monster truck! Nice dust and smoke, especially since it isn't postwork.

Excellent scene!!!

Cool scene! There are some things I love and hate about this one. I love the explosion and smoke in the background, the ship in the front with lasers firing! Spider robot and textures on your vehicle looks great I don't like that the ship in the back is firing at nothing, and the explosion on the spider robot looks low grade compared to the one in the background. Cool scene though, really like it

Many congratulations on your second place Neil, this is a stunning action sci-fi image. Wonderful atmosphere and an image which showcases your excellent modelling skills. People can learn a lot by looking at your gallery, I know I did ... and still do. Tony.
