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

Great ship model and scene!My only suggestion would be a more dynamic camera angle/POV...perhaps a closer view of the nearer ship with some overlapping of ships to add depth...just my two cents!

Great scene and background. Excellent texture on the ships and I really love that starscape!

~Superb modeling and deep space scene!~

Fantastic modeling..great space image! Perfectly done, Michael :)

I am a little bothered by these fins cut to half in their environments. comptenu the possible size of the vessels, these opening horizontal ... give these elements an aspect of opening boxes ... which is unlikely to where they are placed. I extend a little the body of the ship ... it would give a notion of speed. The advice of one who does not know, are always easy ... so these are just ideas sincere. I love your creativity!

Excellent scene and modeling. Corrie

As always yet another great piece of work.

A great scene here, as always. Two things I would do: delete the two torus that give a barrel-look to the ships. make sharper edges on the wings, cockpits and few other details. I think this would make the ships more aggressive.

excellent scene!

They most certainly are at that.... A.W.E.S.O.M.E Sci-Fi!

Mike, your ship designs are so unique and frequently quite alien looking. These are incredible, and just so cool-looking! I like the slight forward sweep of the "wings" - I think it adds a bit of an aggresive look. I've always subscribed to the theory of making one's martial spaceships, aircraft, ships, whatever, LOOK as threatening and frightening as possible - just for the psycological effect it has on the other guys. In other words, if it LOOKS bad-a##, it probably is.... :-D

Another great fantasy scenery!

I really like these immensely. The design is a super one. It seems as if everything is in place, just as it should be. There's nothing that bothers me about this design, but I wonder what these puppies would look like without the rings. I like them where they are, but I'm curious as to how much more "streamlined" the ships might look either without them, or with them shaped a bit differently. It's obvious these are spacegoing vessels and so being streamlined isn't important, and yet if these are intended to intimidate an enemy, that streamlined, forward-muscular look would...well...intimidate! I love that element of it. I'm also curious about markings. Not everyone would paint or otherwise decorate their ships, but at the same time, I'm curious about what designs the builders of these puppies might have. I somehow think that lightning-bolts won't work, nor will flaming skulls, but you never know. Just a thought, but I'd say this stands quite well on its own. I like it!

Definitely one of your better designs.
