I'm not sure what all to say about myself, I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) and work as a graphic designer/computer technician for a print shop. I have a BS in Historic Preservation, but wasn't willing to go on for a Master's Degree, nor was I interested in teaching, so I found another career. I discovered Bryce way back when version 1 came out, but I didn't really get serious about the program, or 3D art in general, until a few years ago. When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm either making costumes or wearing them to a renaissance festival, or building a new rock-sculpture, or possibly wandering with a camera.
When I'm not making something, odds are I'm reading from my far too wide range of interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Physics, Archeology, Anthropology, History, Current Events, NASA (of course) and anything else that happens to catch my attention. It's really hard to find enough time to do all of the things I want to be doing! What drew me to Renderosity is the many excellent artists who continue to inspire me to push myself as an artist. More recently I've added a selection of stuff to another online gallery location:http://nefariousdro.deviantart.com/ÂÂ

Nice sci-fi pic! I really like this new ship design, which seems less cylindrical-shaped to me. Great work!

Mad realistic, Michael! These are absolute musts for the zoom view. Just beautiful! And, I totally love the glowing white rim/outline that extends partially around the planet. Wonderful work, my friend..as always. :)

I love the POV. And based on your description, I could imagine these guys getting along rather well with Nemaeans...stopping off at some bizarre, hostile planet to compare notes on exotic stellar phenomenon, while drinking vodka in a bar where the live entertainment has just gone into an intense and rousing balalaika solo. Your ship design is top notch and so realistic. The POV gives them a sense of scale, and the way they're flying in a sort of formation makes the whole thing wonderfully cinematic. All it needs now is a soundtrack by Bear McCreary (he's so much better than anyone at scoring space scenes) and a character played by me, just so I can tell all of my friends: "Hey, look where I am!" I love this.
