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 ^_^

You have been away too long Iain :) This reminds me of that scene from the 1964 film 'First men in the moon'. Nice landscape mate!

Great alien atmosphere - and nice to see a Union Flag there for a change!

Wonderful Work,

Very intriguing. I love it. I puts me in the mind of a Jules Verne novel .... although that would have to be a French flag .... regardless, great composition.

Welcome back mate.....I thought that bloody huge Robot had 'stomped' you in Japan :-) Great render here and I know it will be a series worth following....but....if you should find the odd copy of SSD in, a rare book store, or one of those filing cabinets you seem to 'discover' in the basement of MI5, that would be cool too!! Good to see you back.....

Excellent image and atmo. Corrie

Thanks everyone. The good thing about Bryce is that without even trying you can create a 'painted' look to the image rather than photo-realism, which suits me as I like to try and create retro space images. Neil... I think SSD may make an appearance sometime in the near future, but it will be further along from the last one I uploaded... maybe a summer special edition or annual...
