kjer stands for "Kansas Jeremy." Yahoo screwed up things and added the rest. My good grrrl's name is "Julie Jane Russell Because She Ain't No Jack" but we just call her Julie and a host of nicknames (Mz. Demeanor, Land Shark, God Damn it!, etc.) BIO Born in North Dakota, learned to talk in Texas, early elementary years in southern Michigan near Lake Huron, brief time in Miami Beach (during WWII), back to Michigan. Parents divorced and we moved back to northcentral Kansas, which became my adopted home (although folks were 4th or 5th generation Kansans). At 18, joined USAF and served a year in Korea (after the cease-fire) and two in southern Japan; however, the only foreign country I served in was pre-Civil Rights movement Gulf Coast Mississippi! :) My Air Force job was control tower operator, then later worked in headquarters administration. Returned to Kansas, got married to wife number 1 and got a college degree (or two plus) and taught public school (8th Grade English) for 4 years. Adopted two mixed-race children (girl and boy). Spent a year ill and unemployed then began working for 25 years with mentally and multiply challenged folks in State institutions. Divorced after 25 years (amicably), endured 4 years of bachelorhood, then married wife Number 2. (Both fine women, by the way.) Retired for five years then got a part-time college instructor position, teaching Freshmen how to write at the college level for another five years, then retired a second time. Still with wife No. 2.
My first identity was as an artist. Later, also became a writer. Wrote about about nine multi-volumed science-fantasy novel manuscripts. Was given very encouraging rejections by editiors, but just never seemed to be what met their publishing needs. Gave up art (pastel pencils and fine-line ink drawings, mostly) for about 10 years due to operations on wrists that messed up coordination in fingers and created involuntary releases of my grasp. (It's very discouraging to spent 40 hours on a fine-line ink drawing only to drop the pen on it in the last hour or two.) Finally decided that avenue of expression was no longer viable for me and concentrated by creative efforts into writing. Then, about four years ago, I discovered the worlds of Bryce, Poser, and Vue and have been able to go back to my first love; art.
My association with Renderosity has been wonderful. In my gallery I get to combine both my creative loves: writing and art. I appreciate very much the responses and comments of viewers and thank those special few who keep comming back to my gallery. Interests in no particular order: 3D Graphic arts, writing (poetry and novels), photography, science-fiction and fantasy, science in general, astronomy (especially Mars and extra solar planets), ecology.

I think the reson for the unfinished feel, is the wide open space in the distance? just a thought great image though.

This is Beautiful!

Not at all a waste of time. I'd put another terrain or something on the scene to make it look like a dirt or at least a churned up runway runs through the place.

Its always worth posting images here. If/When you think the image isn't complete or theres something lacking, just say so. Lots of us would be happy to give some honest feedback. Looks more like a grassy field than a dirt field, so I dunno about dust. Think its more a lack of some simple vegetation like clusters of grass, maybe even some trees. A dirt field would let you get away with no sparse ground cover, but then you'd be needing dust clouds. There's also a shed just almost out of camera angle. Maybe push it and any other buildings farther back into camera view. Just a few ideas there... ;)

Spacer made some good points but even so, the image is wonderfully done and full of movement.

Those are some nifty models, I love the planes from WWII, very nice birds. I can see why you feel a bit "unfinished", ground crews probably would make a huge difference. Even so, it's a nice scene.

definitly worth posting and yep maybe some dust or some plants in the distance or maybe some barrels or gear standing around would be an idea... and you will have the idea fitting for this, I bet...smile

Nice work, I would consider adding more background detail like terrain and trees, some more figures in the foreground perhaps, add more atmosphere haze and perhaps make the light late afternoon for better shadows.

Keep it going. You've got a winner here.

A cool elaborate doodle indeed!!! Great looking, but flight control has gone out of the window! lol That Ju88 looks brilliant though.... Rob

Looks darn good to me. Except maybe a number of bullet holes and some raggedly holes in the bombers just to make it more realistic.

No crits, just love it...(specially full size) as to file size, I dread to think ! Sharpen your virtual pencil and carry on doodleing this is great stuff.
