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.

Yes, given that description, I'd say you nailed it too. (Tara) (Savage Dragon wrote "cool cat". Off topic, but that reminds me of my jazz days, when weathered jazz musicians called everyone "cat". "Mannnnn, that can can PLAY!" "Don't mess with THAT cat!" The expression "the cat's pajamas" referred to cool cats---humans---who were so rich they could afford to lounge around in pajamas all day long. And they wore some ritzy pajamas! Anyway, back to the image...) Yeah, you nailed all the features---following the assignment to a tee. And---this guy's got MUSCLES! "Big and beautifully muscled": Those thighs---to use the jazz vernacular again, "that cat's been workin' OUT, dude!" I hope your clients appreciate how you bring knowledge of anatomy to these pieces, because this is one beautiful piece of musculature: Renaissance artists would welcome you in without a password or name tag. (They went crazy over musculature, breaking away from the flatter medieval portrayal of human form...) You did a perfect job with the two toned curled hair, too. And with everything else, including the gentler feline look rather than the lion look. And he's dressed in some kind of stretch-fabric! (I'm not an expert here.) It looks like he's in perfect working out clothes. I don't know if you did that as a piece of subtle humor---he's human, so to speak, he does what we all do. But it has a subtle smile to it, which I just love about your work. But ok---he's jogging in an environment you wouldn't catch me jogging in unless I had a huuuge GPS system, a cell phone within reach of a signal, and guarantees that there weren't any huge, hungry creatures stalking in the shadows. That's a helluva place to go for a morning stroll! Big, looming, dark...But it has your 'craig' light---even in this deep ocean green blue, the light is breaking over the mountains and casting a beautiful light over everything, illuminating the peaks in silhouette. Grace...Very delicate background. More thoughtful work from you, Craig, and Kryger is beautifully done. (There's an old Sid Caesar routine where people speak of him as a great actor, but when he speaks, he speaks in a high squeaky voice. It would be great if this formidable cat-man spoke like Betty Boop. That's gotta take the edge off when he enters a room...)
