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 ^_^

Ooh, love it! You're a real master of these "book cover" style works, and you have an excellent feel for the style and tone of Pulp-genre. Great to see your work again, it's been ages since I've seen anything!

Thanks DrO... I've been away for way too long. Lack of inspiration and ideas to be honest. Just happy that my renders don't look realistic... that wouldn't look right with these retro pieces.

Half right mate, they look like very realistic covers and damn good art. I seem to recall an AA Motoring Guide edited by Morris Traveller, you may have just explained why it listed all the 'Little Chefs' on Venus :-)
