My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

A ray-filled vision, with beautiful natural detail, and some wonderful choices that are wholly unexpected. The light literally cuts open the scene, cutting swaths into the forest and even across that massive rock isle (near-left). Again, your atmosphere & light overtake us, and make the appearance of the messenger less 'heralded' & more a mysterious & blessed 'presence'. It whispers. Your cloud & water work is excellent as always, as is your foliage, etc. And the other surprise---in addition to the mystical appearance of the messenger & co---is that rock isle: how wonderfully it builds upon itself, getting blanketed in thick trees, a wonderful piece of imagination in an already imaginative scene. I know nothing of 3D, but whatever you have to do to make light fall in layers & curtains & veils, you do with mastery, to my eye. And as I say, I very much like the way the messenger appears softly rather than 'loudly'. (Without any religious connotations, I think of a passage from the Isaiah-poet---ie. from the Hebrew Book of Isaiah---"how beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of the messenger who cries out peace..." That's fairly literal; and the poet---again, sans religious connotations---is evoking a messenger not as tumultuous event, but as a gentle, almost imperceptible 'presence', whose essence is nonetheless profound & bathed in light.) Beautiful work all around.
