I'm a 50-something Scotsman living in Glasgow, and I've been into CG art since 2005, and I like to think I'm not that bad at producing stuff that people like. I just hope I'm not deluding myself (^_^) My tastes run from glamour and fantasy, anime and manga, through to retro SF images and fake magazine and book covers.
I used Poser when I first started, but now I use DAZ Studio (latest version) for setting up and posing figures, and Bryce for the final renders. My own props and sets are created in TS4, which is a bit clunky, but it lets me build some interesting stuff. PhotoShop and Gimp are where it all comes together. I use only DAZ people in my artwork, as I find the Poser people a bit lacking in the looks and versatility department. I used to draw a lot, but discovering 3D has allowed me to create the kind of images I could never achieve with 'normal' media.
Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments that I have received. It's nice to get feedback from fellow artists. Makes posting the images seem worthwhile. At one time I was producing a CGI comic for a British comic-magazine called "Spaceship Away" but the editor decided that he would reduce my page count - and I decided that no he wasn't and pulled out all together. Although it lasted a short time it allowed me to experience life as a professional comics artist.
Hopefully it won't be my only time ^_^

Brilliant image! When I first learned of the B-36, my adolescent reaction was "You're kidding, right?" Now I can appreciate it as one of the two intermediate steps as classic prop-driven WW2 bombers were being replaced by modern Jet Age bombers. With the B-36 it was like the designers still did not quite trust these newfangled jet engines. And of course the glass nose window and the multiple gunners were kinda nostalgic. Then there is the B-47, the other imtermediate step. No more gunners, no more propellers, and swept wings. BUT the pilots sat in a bubble cockpit just like WW2 and Korean War fighters. Combine the best of both aircraft and you get the B-52. Stray thought-- if someone has the software to model a Goblin, it would be interesting to see that bizarre experiment actually doing its intended job of protecting its B-36 mothership.

Awesome! I completely love the reflection of the camera plane on the '36s nose! excellent detail! The lighting and shaders are top notch, and I love the depth cueing. Another Model Kit BoxTop right here! This looks amazing. I am thrilled to be a part of this!

I forgot to say that I replaced the props with cone shapes and the blades with a small vertical plane on which I mapped the prop blur from Bazze's Spitfire. cgoverlord the models are Poser models exported from DAZ Studio and imported into Bryce. richimoto if you keep modelling these I'll keep rendering them ^_^
