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 ^_^

Goood stuff Iain, a lot of us began by drawing, I still dabble from time to time...

Always good to see that people are able to do more a single style or trick and show their diversity. And yes it takes decades rather than years, but it's the journey that makes it worthwhile.

Marvelous Iain, a true artistic 'bent'....I found some cartoons I did in work back in the 90's, bowling related 'in gags' that mean little unless you've worked in bowling but they made me smile.....they also made me realise why I'm a better renderer than artist :-) This is really very well done and seeing more would be interesting.....

This is very good Iain, i'd like to see more too. I was also very good at drawn art in my school days but sadly I haven't done any for years as rendering now taken over.

Great to see traditional media here on Rendo.

Thanks everyone... I look at this and the others that were returned and I seriously wonder if I can pick up a pencil and actually do this kind of work again. All I can do is try ^_^
