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

WONDERFUL composition !!!SPLENDID SciFi creation! AWESOME scale !!!

The planet helps create a sense of scale.These ships must be huge! Cool sci-fi models and render.

Nice scaffolding on those mirrors! It looks a lot better than faking it with blended transparent materials, but I bet it eats memory and file size...

Very cool render! Can see that you've put a lot of work into it; and your commentary is interesting as well.

EXCELLENT

I love that you've humanity dealing with macro engineering and stuff like that. Your mirror arrays are wonderfully done...enough to make NASA and the ESA drool, if you ask me. The details are great and your starship modeling is top notch as always...I get the impression those ships are big and against the backdrop of the mirrors and the planet and open space, they look so tiny. NOT fragile, just tiny! Wonderful work. You're making me want to go listen to one of the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks. That's always a good thing.
