I am a graphic artist involved in the creation of 3D and 2D artwork.
I am based in the United Kingdom, in the County of Oxfordshire.
My website has more info, images and Tutorials:
http://mysite.freeserve.com/bigraphics/index.htmlBIOThe images I create span a spectrum of genres, from Science Fiction and Fantasy, to more down to earth imagery, such as landscapes and buildings. I also create 2D illustrations and photo style montages.I am able to supply these images for a variety of media including print and the Web.
I have been involved in conventional art since childhood, but upon discovering the Amiga and Deluxe Paint many years ago, I realised the computer provided another medium to create artwork. I soon started to use Photoshop version 2 when this became available on the PC, and since then I have used the computer for my art, progressing through all the versions of Photoshop and Illustrator, and the 3D software Cinema 4D XL 7 and World Builder 3. I still use my conventional art skills, as the majority of my work starts out as a hand drawn pencil sketch that is used for reference or scanned into the computer for use as a template, and traditional drawing skills can then be applied through the use of a Wacom A4 drawing tablet and Photoshop.

beautiful, the depth of this landscape is really awesome! I assume, you have used grayscale profile? good arrangment of the trees and bushes. what kind of object is the town?

Hi Gareth, great WB work and a perfect layout, i miss some shadows of the trees in the front though, and the sundisk looks a bit strange, but it's very hard to get that right, I tried this myself but you can't get it bright enough to make it look realistic (made a wish on WB site for this) BTW your road always look superb.

I love images that make me smile. This is truly art at its best, when it touches the emotions of the viewer :)

Okay, so where do we get to see the 5000 px version with less compression? ;-) Looks excellent, wonderfull work! I agree that there seems to be a lack of shadows though.

Really beautiful job! I like the depth of the image, and the great vista which is often hard to convey. Just wondering - At what point do you start using flipboards for the trees? Obviously the closer images are 3D. How do you gauge the distance at which flipboards become the most effective solution? Thanks, Chas

Thanks for all comments, much appreciated. To answer a few questions, the landscape is a greyscale profile. Distant town very simple 3D shapes, imported and given basic textures to look like houses from a distance. This town looked good on the printed version, but got a bit lost when downsizing image for web. Shadows -only added a few, found that the shadows were making the landscape too dark, it had scary, horror film feel to it, and I was after more of a clean looking image, so I used lots of lights, to add a feeling of depth and colour to the landscape.

Wow, stumbled across this one while browsing the R'osity galleries. The story of Teddy and Bird seems so adorable, and the artwork is top-notch, to boot. I sense a children's book hit! ; )

Fabulous composition! Teddy makes feel somewhat pity (the name for the composition also plays it's role of course). Very impressive!

Haven't been a while on this Gallery, but what a great image this is ! Ofcourse the composition, but also the carefully positioned and tuned lighting everywhere, it all must have been a lot of work.
