Thank you for viewing my work. These horizontals are 14x40 inch canvas giclee prints that I do in my home studio. I am just starting to post work I have done over the past few years. A few people think I'm pumping these out.... wish it was true, no like the rest of you it take a lot of time. I am a retired software exec. involved in the development of architectural CAD, who had a secret desire to be an artist. My oldest son, a university professor teaching animation and modeling, pushes me to keep learning to stay sharp.... and I guess out of his hair. My website displays and offer services for those who want period based portraits of themselves..... as well as my personal desires as above. I use Modo, PoserPro, ZBrush, Vue 11 Inf, Painter, and Photoshop in my workflow. My portrait work is based around Photo, Vue, and Painter. If you would like to know more about my efforts, please visit my website, another effort I am learning to do in my retirement, as I fall asleep over many manuals..... I hate reading manuals. For those who wanted to know my hardware configuration: MacPro, 4 core, 11 Gigs ram running a 30", 23" and Wacom tablet....and yes I render in layers or sections to complete these as a final 14x40 inch 300 dpi file when needed.

Wow! I tried to be a little more articulate with my initial impression, but this is definitely a Wow. Your attention to detail always impressess, Don. Here, where such attention is really essential, your craftwork sets me back in my chair. I ask myself, "Who else would bring such specialized elements of history into this medium?" Here we can clearly see your love of the subject shining through and it is a true gift for contemporary artists who share your interestes. Fine craft, Sir. With warm regard, Terry

Ah, yes, I remember your earlier work a few years ago. It refreshed my memory about this boat and its tragic loss. Nice to see you've made it available as a 3D model. Good thing there are people like you who model this type of historical items. Keep up the good work! :)

This model was before I learnt to know you On-Line. So guess where I'm off to? Very well done Don. :-)

The model is brilliant, but the sea in the top image is amazing, how did you do it, is it modelled, or postwork...or both? I would really love to know.

Pakled's curse strikes again; modeled this a few years back, but nowhere near this good...;) you go. I'm trying to remember if this was the one with 'oars'...great work, keep 'em coming.

Another bit of stunning work. That top image, where she's just been cut loose in the storm, is simply mind-boggling. I have never seen a stormy sea so accurately represented in Vue. You, sir, are a Master of your craft.
