I dont think of myself as an artist - more a creatively minded laymen. Im blessed with perpetual inspiration, but cursed by a lack of talent.
I have always loved to sketch, and on the odd occasion even paint. Unfortunately for me, a real world canvas doesnt have an undo button. This is why, back in 1996, I first started toying with a Shareware version of Paint Shop Pro (found on the cover of a magazine). I knew almost instantly that digital art was for me.
Fast forward to 2006, when I discovered a highly under-rated (yet unfortunately limited) program called FaceGen. Within hours of tinkering with the software I was creating realistic characters well beyond anything I could have managed via traditional mediums. But what to do about bodies for my newly created digital brethren?
I took it upon myself to scour the internet in search of a 3D software package that was flexible enough to fulfil my specific needs, while still being NOOB friendly. Untimely I didnt want to spend months, or even years deciphering the ins and outs of 3D Studio Max for instance.
It wasnt long before I caught digital whisperings of a program called Poser, which lead me eFrontiers very own site.
In search of more examples of Poser art I found myself inevitably at Renderosity...and I havent looked back since.
The community here is certainly a mixed bunch (as are all communities, online especially), but in the great majority they have proven to be incredibly helpful, and wonderfully supportive.
If you plan on commenting on my images (and I certainely hope you do) while praise is always appreciated, critical analysis and constructive criticism is encouraged.
Happy rendering!

Just saw Ironman II last night, so I knew who it was - lol... and you must of seen it to cause you have a white superman like emblem on his chest instead of the circle - I noticed tha imediately last night, first second to two I thought it was cool, but I'm not one for change and the circle is more Ironman to me. Great movie and I like how downy played Stark - quick lines of humor and sarcasm aragant was fun to watch.

Thanks Mike. I know the comic-book purists would probably prefer a circular chest light; but I didn't really know who Iron Man was until the mid 90's when I read a handful of Invincible Iron Man, in which it became triangular. Originally, this sketch wasn't even of Iron Man. I just changed the palette and added the chest light later :)
