BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

You may indeed give credit to Vue de'Esprit my friend - but there's always the evidence in your renders that show that unmistakable skill that is a 'ShadowWind Render'. How I love Orcas, they are such gorgeous creatures and you have captured them so perfectly. Outstanding work my friend.

Um.. DAMN that is beautiful :)

Shadow, this is very beautiful. The orcas are really well done as is the water spray. A great image as well as concept. Well done. ---- Scott.

I keep waiting for the spray to hit me. I think water is the toughest thing to work with and you've done it masterfully.
Digital-Witch
Wow completely gorgeous and fascinating..vue is a wonderful program to work with...the thrill of the majestic dolphins plunging along with the ship..and enchantment of the sea and spray all bring this together; a picture of enchantment..!

Great shadows on the water! Orcas scare me - after seeing a David Attenborough doco when one slid out of the ocean onto a beach to eat a whole seal!
