The Cryb was my homepage at MySpace. Fast becoming "dead space". If you are in a band, studio rep, publicist, promoter, booker, manager, etc, in the music business. I can hook you up with reputable contacts in the Ohio, USA area. If Rock, Blues or metal, are your real deal, please feel free to check it out. This is my Facebook page. UPDATES: Currently interning with Jasi Entertainment in L.A., as East coast publicist for Ellsbeth and Dig Jelly. Two very well recieved metal bands, fronted by beautiful young ladies with voices like angels. Cryb Keeper You can follow The CrybKeeper on Twitter where we are also followed by EMI, Sony, Victory and many other labels, as well as, FM radio and musicians from all parts of the world. About me: On-line FREE music publicity. The Cryb represents, excellent musicians, that haven't quite hit the majors, but are on their way there. I freelance write and submit columns and reviews to several media outlets. I work for Gannett News Service, in several capacities. I am not a journalist. Father of two girls, 23 years and 12 years. married 25 years to my one and only. I am 46 years old. I believe in staying young at heart, with a responsible mind. I also believe, there is some sort of creator out there. Just who that creator is, can be the confusing part. HOBBIES: Graphics of all kinds, art several mediums. Oil paints are still my favorite. I know they are a hassle to work with, but I am one of those die-hard traditional types. Before the internet, I could be found at the local library, or college on the hill library. The first book I checked out, was about Paper Milling(circa, 1990). My Heros: Walter Whitman. Walter's Bio is here: http://www.whitmanarchive.org/biography/index.html. Fred Gwynn(Played Herman in The Munsters TV series). ...Gwynne sang professionally, painted, sculpted, wrote & illustrated children's books, including: "The King Who Rained" (1970); "A Chocolate Moose for Dinner" (1976); "A Little Pigeon Toad" (1988) and "Pondlarker" (1990). He wrote 10 books in all and "The King Who Rained", "A Chocolate Moose for Dinner" and "A Little Pigeon Toad", which all were published by Simon & Schuster, are still in print.... What I have to say,.... todayLastFM is just a place to track your music habits - It is slowly dying. Instead, use Spotify and link that up with LastFM LastFM is HERE I perform publicity for these bands at all websites: The Madeleine Haze, WVM, Woolgather, Lunarium, Ellsbeth, Dig Jelly, Zeroking, Level-C, plus a few more! Search them up on LastFM :)

very clever idea - see what you mean. i never tried this but made 2-3 nested spheres of "tea kettle steam". sometimes with grouping and stretching. i encountered the same thing sometimes, note that the cloud texture seems to be a thin film on the surface rather than thru the volume.

Good image Micheal. Maybe another sky to make it more grim ;-)

The smoke looks odd billowing back down from the sides like that. (But for some reason, the way it looks gives me an idea for something to use if I ever render a rock slide. Dunno why that is.) I think the multi-replicated spheres method for smoke looks better. Interesting looking factory. From the title and the image, I'd assume that this factory would like less strict EPA standards. Bleh! Anyhow, it's to the point. If you wanted to make it look more toxic, have another layer just on the water with noxious foam, add some "dead" trees, and perhaps show a fish or two floating on its side in the water. Nuthin' like the smell of dioxin in the morning... L8R!

You excel at these uncluttered scenes with just the right touches in your texturing to make it look very real. Excellent work!
