My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

I was going to skip so I could get an array, but here I am doing 3 in a row. I remember when this went up and thinking how well you tackle detail in darkness; so here I am once more. Darkroom photographers would spend hours in the darkroom coaxing out detail from darkness; and then 'mold' that detail so it almost seemed like silk. (Ansel Adams did that.) That's what you've done here. The drooping lava-like quality of the front-stone is wonderful. Like chocolate sauce for for vampires. You have more of your razor-sharp tree and wing detail (the dragon), in sharp contrast against your sky. Then a big sweeping helluva sky, with deep violets and razor-sharp contrasting whites---esp on the left, though there's a smidgeon of it on the right too. Fine contrasts! And then great purple reflections on the rockfaces at far left: Man, those are some luminous, standout hues on the sides of those rocks. So we're looking at piece sunken in shadows, but with lots of detail and just enough dramatic touches to make it dance in the dark. I mean, you could've used lots of contrasts, but instead you kept it mostly dark; and it's terrific that you kept the dark so alive. A fun and truly clear image, in a pre-night purple that makes us feel like it's luring us into a verrrrrry long night...
