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/Ă‚Â

First off, I love this image. Second off, I'm love the accuracy you put into this whole thing...from the cold blue of the reflection nebula (most people won't even bother to call such a nebula by its proper name!) I love the details of the propellant and life support volatile tanks. This is an indication that this workhorse of a vessel will actually work and get you where you need to go with a minimum of that vague magic wand waving that happens too much in science fiction (usually to keep the action neatly placed between commercial or chapter breaks.) I've always been fascinated by the cultures that you imply in your work. You may drop hints here and there, but just in looking at your pieces of this nature, there's always a logic, a cultural imperative that simmers just below the surface. I find that to be woefully lacking in too many science fictional renders, which is probably why yours are among the very few that I consciously seek out here on Renderosity. This is wonderful work...and yeah...I have a LOT of catching up to do, but that's okay...it'll be fun dipping back into your gallery and seeing other gems for the first time. This is top notch work!

The ship is great, and the planet even better!

Yes, having some fuel and supplies makes a spaceflight much more enjoyable--not to mention less final!!! Heh! I truly like this render far and away over most of the others in this series. One of your more interesting looking worlds, too.

Nice added detail! Other things I always try to remember to add is some sort of thruster system and some airlocks.

With Zoom, I find a SPLENDID model of SciFi Space ship certainly very near of the reality...a big tube is the ordinary form of a space ship...SPLENDID creation§ I discover an excellent creator !!! I like your work Sir !!!
