รย 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. รย 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. รย 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. รย 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!

Now this was a great idea, Neil. The Lifepod emerges from the alien plants to give a source of shelter to other worldly beings...just my take, here. Thanks for all of the explanation details. They really give a more in-depth look at the render.

Great modelling - the light shining out from the pod is my fave part, but a fascinating image once again ;)

So stunning sci fi scene!

A striking image. One wonders if the occupant(s) might not have jumped from the frying pan into the fire, though. It doesn't impress me as a particularly nice planet upon which to be stranded. Like the plants, too.

Fabulous looking Lifepod you've created here Neil, you sure are one of the master Bryce modellers. Excellent sci-fi scene again from you and you sure do make great use of a wealth of resources. Tony.

Classic Grafikeer sci-fi! Great modeling, as always, and a wonderful moody alien landscape.
