My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

I could have sworn I commented on this earlier, so, I'm glad I checked on it again. This is adorable. I love Nursoda's characters. They are full of life. And you have definitely given this one a wonderful scene where it can frolic and play music. The facial expression and pose are perfect for the feeling you wanted to convey. And the hazy colors are warm and lovely. Great intro, too. Music is a great healer as are all the arts. I'm so sorry to hear your father is ill.

well I must say, when I see people like Cathy say that they love Nursoda's characters, I'm totally out of the know. I have no clue how 3D works, but I know that there are characters & creators that you all use, and whoever this character is, you've made a delight out of her. Before saying anything else, I'm truly sorry about your father; and since this is weeks later, I hope he's well or at least not struggling; I hope this finds him in a better condition, and you as well. Re. the piece, this is another proof that everyone must view full size: Not only because your detail bursts full-size, but because your color explodes. Eepo does look like she's taken aback, and I can tell you, having been a classical musician for years, if her teacher saw her hold the bow like that, well...let's put it this way, you'd hear about it in Antarctica. Great touch. Her lighting is dramatic, and I like that she's playing in late day light with the music in shadow, as if emphasizing that music is of the 'air' not of corporeal things. And the tree is a wonderful deep burning orange, to complement her fiery-toned face & body (and maybe even harmonize with the hues of a violin). And the grasses are tall & lush, and have an autumnal gold to them. I know nothing about renders, but I have to assume that you must vary grasses & plants, etc, and that it's tedious. Well, it feels spontaneous to the viewer. And it's another of your dramatic skies, with peach-orange hued highlights and lots of shadow. I live not too far from what was once miles of prairie grass, and this kind of scene was once common. And the use of Eepo just emphasizes the fairy tale element to a light that is always enchanted & magical. As an old classical pianist, I say: Bravo. I have a feeling she's good (though that bow technique is gonna get her in trouble, I promise). Another witty & beautiful render from you; and I'm beginning to realize that you have caverns of golden light out of deep reaches of space in you. Chiarascuro isn't really the word; more like golden light emergent. I think Rembrandt would feel at home with you...
