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/Â

looking cool. lot of work with 42 layers.

Very cool! To me it looks more like birth than death - the layers of a nebula pealing away under pressure from starlight. Or there's both at the same time - shock from a supernova collapsing clouds into new stars.

Very fine work--and obviously you have taken the time to do it correctly.

Fantastic realization of this cosmic event! This looks so real, like many of the photos from Hubble and other telescopes! Sounds like you put a ton of work into this - and it was worth every bit of it!

42 layers...yeah, that's about right...or maybe it's just the reference to 42. At any rate, that's a high number of layers and a lot of tweaking/creating, and it shows here. I love the realistic depth this image has; the mood is fantastic. I kinda see this as a supernova explosion, the early parts of it before the explosion expands, ages and bends into those intriguing hoops that forms an hourglass shape as supernova spew continues long after the initial popping of the cork, so to speak. Anyway, this is quite a gorgeous image! And yeah, the death throes of a star are quite marvelous to behold, and just think...all of the heavier elements spewed out will contribute to the formation of life...somewhere...way off in the future, well one could hope anyway. This is great, and yeah, I love it.
