I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Cool looking image, this is different from your usual styly.

It is very different from your usual style. It's important to try out different styles from time to time, and I think this worked out well. I can't understand why your submission is not #1 in the contest ranking, 'cause it's clearly the best. Come on people, get in there and vote!

Though I'm not familiar with the SG-U series, this image truly captures the sense of solitude but conveys a certain determination as well. As always, an exceptional image.

Good Luck, JCD. My wife and I only just saw this episode recently. Not bowled over by their use of the premise so far, "so what have they run out of this week?" That said, this character one of the more intriguing of the show and his being stranded a much needed development in the story line. Flawless design/composition. I really like the render of the ship and space. My only hang is on the cross-hatching technique for the figure and that's coming from someone who used to do a lot of cross-hatching so its my personal aversion. Best of Luck to you! Let us know how it goes.
