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!

The dramatic quality of the sunlight and cloud-shadow works very well with the starkness of the terrain, and the human figures dwarfed by the towering colossus of the alien machine/crashed spacecraft ... Combined these elements build a certain sense of tension/apprehension/wonder. This is a success on all levels and I rate it a 5+. Inspired by what you have produced in this image the alternative thought occurs: considering all the elements in play here, I am wondering if the dramatic impact of the image might be enhanced by altering only the alien machine/spacecraft. You have started with basically a starfish form: what if instead of the decayed/blemished but otherwise somewhat featureless metal you built a single segment (to be replicated into as many arms as needed), more detailed with the addition of greebles: ribs, spars, perhaps pipes running along the surface, puckered apertures made with hollow cut cones lending an almost suction-cup like appearance, and instead of the blue-glow, how about a dim, brooding, red glow ...

Great lighting and composition. The scale of the structure with the effect of the "God Rays" make it feel very ominous.

Good use of god-rays. I like this one a lot as is, but having seen your later version first, I have to say that the second version is far more effective and creates a much more iconic image in my mind at least.
