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!

Very cool atmosphere and lighting. The new ship looks cool, the tail section "reminds" me of Darth Vader's fighter, although it is clearly not the same.

Excellent. Definitely has the "Emperor's Arrival" feel to it.

Great perspective, atmosphere and excellent work on the ship.

Cool scene! Like a frame grab from some action-packed space opera.

Great looking ship model! (I can hear the Empire Strikes Back theme music in the background)

Even though the blurring adds some dynamism to the scene, I think having the hero model be out of focus essentially gives the viewer nothing to focus on, everything becomes background. Perhaps just blurring the background would be enough.

I originally did have the ship completely in focus,but in this case it made it look like it was frozen in place and the camera was panning past it. I know it doesn't show it to it's full detail, but I was honestly trying for the impression of speed and wanted to leave some detailing to the viewer's imagination. Thanks for the comment as always!
