I am a self-taught artist working both in the 2D realm of traditional painting(watercolours,acrylics and ink) and the 3D realm of digital painting and CGI(mainly Bryce and Photoshop).My work is primarily SciFi,Fantasy and Landscape,as well as logo design and conceptual art.  I have always been interested in all things SciFi,as a kid growing up in Rushden,Northamptonshire,England I was a huge fan of such shows as The Thunderbirds,Captain Scarlet,Dr.Who and many more.Upon emigrating to Alberta,Canada I was captivated by the beauty of the Rockies and the diversity of wildlife and spent years studying animals and painting realistic wildlife scenes in watercolour.My originals hang in collections worldwide.Now,my attention has switched back to SciFi,and my knowledge of creature anatomy and habits,as well as colour sense and compositional skills now come into play in a whole new realm...3D.  During the day I work in a gallery and frameshop in Kelowna,BC,Canada where I have lived for almost thirty years.As the shop manager and master framer,I am constantly influenced by the art that is both shown in the gallery and framed for clients.  As a member of Renderosity for just over a year,I have come to know many of the artists here,and have been inspired by their works.I have also been fortunate to have works chosen for display on other sites,and to have been featured in articles in two digital magazines,all as a result of the exposure from this site.My goal is to continue,and push my knowledge with each image.Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery!

Like it - reminds me of the Dr Who episode with the dead spaceman who kept asking "Hey, who turned out the lights"

Very nice work...Reminds me of "Apollo 18"...5 stars from me...Keep up the good work

great render. reminds me of a couple great sf pictures, i think from the TTA books. my only comments are the posing of the figure: he looks to be standing but also leaning way back, a position almost impossible to maintain while he was alive, and it would have been a weird position for him to die in; secondly the figure looks as if his legs/lower torso are backwards, at least in first glance that's how it appeared to me.

The lighting, terrain, reflections and the sense of motion in the sand are great. I have to agree with lhumungus about the body position, it just doesn't look right to me either. It might be the camera angle, we cannot make out the shape of the terrain the body is lying on.

The camera lens is causing some distortion,plus he is straddling a crest in the dune...what I have strived for was the look of a body that has decayed,the body mass has disappeared,and the bone joints are now flexing far beyond what would be normal when muscle is involved.The body cavity has sunk somewhat,and the whole position then takes on a more un-natural appearance. Thanks for the constructive comments,I can see how this pose does look odd!

This FANTASTIC Creation reminds me of some of the artistic scenes in the 1981 animated film called Heavy Metal... Here's a little read up in case your not familiar....... Heavy Metal is a 1981 Canadian fantasy-animated film directed by Gerald Potterton and produced by Ivan Reitman and Leonard Mogel, who also was the publisher of Heavy Metal magazine, the basis for the film. The screenplay was written by Daniel Goldberg and Len Blum. The film is an anthology of various science fiction and fantasy stories adapted from Heavy Metal magazine and original stories in the same spirit.

GREAT....

Dramatic. Really pulls out that guilty "better him than me" feeling. :-)
