I'm a 50-something Scotsman living in Glasgow, and I've been into CG art since 2005, and I like to think I'm not that bad at producing stuff that people like. I just hope I'm not deluding myself (^_^) My tastes run from glamour and fantasy, anime and manga, through to retro SF images and fake magazine and book covers.
I used Poser when I first started, but now I use DAZ Studio (latest version) for setting up and posing figures, and Bryce for the final renders. My own props and sets are created in TS4, which is a bit clunky, but it lets me build some interesting stuff. PhotoShop and Gimp are where it all comes together. I use only DAZ people in my artwork, as I find the Poser people a bit lacking in the looks and versatility department. I used to draw a lot, but discovering 3D has allowed me to create the kind of images I could never achieve with 'normal' media.
Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments that I have received. It's nice to get feedback from fellow artists. Makes posting the images seem worthwhile. At one time I was producing a CGI comic for a British comic-magazine called "Spaceship Away" but the editor decided that he would reduce my page count - and I decided that no he wasn't and pulled out all together. Although it lasted a short time it allowed me to experience life as a professional comics artist.
Hopefully it won't be my only time ^_^

Thanks as always Neil... Yes, Crudworthy has found his way back into print again. But how long will Mr Grimsdale put up with Norman Puckle arsing things up for him?

Great fun - and nicely captures the feel of an underwater scene!

"...but tastes were changing, and SSD would soon have to adapt.... " Uh oh....... I can't wait to see what happened when SSD collided with The New Wave. I have a sinking idea of something like a Crudworthy pastiche of a Moorcock "Jerry Cornelius" tale.... Stray thought for sometime when you have spare time-- a Arthur J. Crudworthy author's website with biography, bibilography, and a some faux links.

What would SSD be without an Arthur J. Crudworthy story? SSD would still be interesting and informative but without that little spark of fun that a Crudworthy story always gave. "Those Who Sleep Below" ... wasn't that one of the few short stories that Crudworthy wrote that WASN'T made into a movie? Another wonderful SSD cover my friend.
