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!

Nice my friend. The ship wreck is just superb.

Interesting combination of elements old and new (ship, hut, spear, suit). The feeling of desolation is well achieved in what concerns the landscape elements. Regarding composition, I have two points, just personal opinions: :-) a) I personally think it's not a good idea to put the character so close to the right and looking to the right because it invites the viewers eyes to leave the image. The spear pointing in the same direction reenforces this. I think it would have been better to put both (character's eyes and spear) pointing inside the image, so that the viewers eyes would return to the image. b) The crop is very tight all around the image, which, IMO, would be more fitting to a dynamic scene and not to a calm and introspective scene such as this. Furthermore, I think that in order to reenforce the desolation, it would have been better to show more of the vastness around the character and so putting all main elements away from the image margins would be good also from this perspective.

Nice work on the textures and the shelters.

I like this image, but have to agree with Rutra above. Think it would have been better to have made the picture shape a horizontal rectangle, or panorama style instead of so square.
