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!

Nice - I had forgotten all about that old beastie! Not even sure if it's still in my runtime, or more likely on an archived CD-ROM somewhere... It looks good with the Vue material - well done!

Poor little probe must have one of those last thoughts like, Oh crap! that is gonna hurt... LOL Very cool scene! Well done.

This is great! Love the creature and the change of skin you made. Excellent render and depth. If you never saw it, you might like Alien Planet by Discovery. A hypothetical probe is sent to a hypothetical planet called Darwin IV. The probe travels the planet documenting the life forms until at the end it gets smashed up by one of the inhabitants. Lots of cool CGI from 2005. Granted they've come a long ways in only eight years, but the creatures and concepts are kinda cool.
