I'm not sure what all to say about myself, I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) and work as a graphic designer/computer technician for a print shop. I have a BS in Historic Preservation, but wasn't willing to go on for a Master's Degree, nor was I interested in teaching, so I found another career. I discovered Bryce way back when version 1 came out, but I didn't really get serious about the program, or 3D art in general, until a few years ago. When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm either making costumes or wearing them to a renaissance festival, or building a new rock-sculpture, or possibly wandering with a camera.
When I'm not making something, odds are I'm reading from my far too wide range of interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Physics, Archeology, Anthropology, History, Current Events, NASA (of course) and anything else that happens to catch my attention. It's really hard to find enough time to do all of the things I want to be doing! What drew me to Renderosity is the many excellent artists who continue to inspire me to push myself as an artist. More recently I've added a selection of stuff to another online gallery location:http://nefariousdro.deviantart.com/Â

Very cool work on this, Mike! It looks every bit as good as the artist's concepts I've seen on NASA'a website. As many new planets as they seem to be discovering around distant stars, this should have a good chance of being an accurate representation. Excellent work!

uh-huh! Excellent work! I see that T.N.A is already interested

Nice work! The big planet looks like an image of a brown dwarf with burning metals down below and black smoke clouds above.

Very nice gas giant ! Isn't the moon a little big ?

Really nice work! I don't know Bryce, so can't really help you on that software, but a mix between image and procedural textures generally provides good results. ;)

I think Mutos2 above is forgetting that the viewer is much closer to the moon than to the gas giant planet. Nice work on the texturing.

See what I mean? I'll never understand. Heck, I can barely follow the written format. All the same, I'm perfectly content to let it remain a mystery, and just admire them instead. Hope you're doing well! :)
