I am a self-taught artist working both in the 2D realm of traditional painting(watercolours,acrylics and ink) and the 3D realm of digital painting and CGI(mainly Bryce and Photoshop).My work is primarily SciFi,Fantasy and Landscape,as well as logo design and conceptual art.  I have always been interested in all things SciFi,as a kid growing up in Rushden,Northamptonshire,England I was a huge fan of such shows as The Thunderbirds,Captain Scarlet,Dr.Who and many more.Upon emigrating to Alberta,Canada I was captivated by the beauty of the Rockies and the diversity of wildlife and spent years studying animals and painting realistic wildlife scenes in watercolour.My originals hang in collections worldwide.Now,my attention has switched back to SciFi,and my knowledge of creature anatomy and habits,as well as colour sense and compositional skills now come into play in a whole new realm...3D.  During the day I work in a gallery and frameshop in Kelowna,BC,Canada where I have lived for almost thirty years.As the shop manager and master framer,I am constantly influenced by the art that is both shown in the gallery and framed for clients.  As a member of Renderosity for just over a year,I have come to know many of the artists here,and have been inspired by their works.I have also been fortunate to have works chosen for display on other sites,and to have been featured in articles in two digital magazines,all as a result of the exposure from this site.My goal is to continue,and push my knowledge with each image.Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery!

The smoke is great. I like the sky and ambient light here- very realistic. Your models look awesome here- you should be proud.

A very cool image, I really like the background and atmosphere.The models work perfectly with your presentation. David

Very cool! The seeming simplicity of design proves to be false...that is, the size differences (depth of field), shadows, camera angle...all is really not simplistic and is difficult for an artist to do properly...you pulled it off. This looks very much like "Star Wars" and could almost be a proto-type. Its wonderful when Sci-fi images tell a story....I guess you can see I like it a lot :)

I agree with Mark - this is visual story telling at its best. Great models, great lighting, superb composition. I love it!

Great senese of scale. amazing render! Just added to my preferred images!
NefariousDrO
This is fantastic, you nailed that strong simplicity so very well. There's so much story in this, I agree that it all comes through very well. Markal has nailed how much more difficult this kind of thing is than meets the eye, but the impressive thing is that the completed work doesn't look complex. Whoever it was that said the true artist makes the difficult look easy is so correct. You've really got a masterpiece here, DAZ should be using this as a teaching tool in good composition and design, if you ask me!
