Gallery Notes:
(1) To view my entire gallery, click on the link to "SmithGiant's Gallery" immediately below the Featured Gallery Images below.
(2) Policies regarding access to artists galleries may require you to create a log-on ID. As a long time member of the Renderosity community, I have found no evidence that Renderosity releases or sells members email to outside entities.BIOWhile it seems that I've been an "artsy-fartsy" kind of person all my life, it wasn't until 1995 that I decided to purchase a computer and teach myself how to use it as a "creative tool".
I opened a website called "Thinkpieces" in June 1997, and was forced to closed it June 2000 due to it's popularity and resultant, prohibitive data transfer cost.
While most of my work can be classified as "abstract/fractal illustrations", and it may seem that all I know how to, or do use is XenoDream, I promise that you won't be wasting (too much of) your time should you choose to browse my gallery here at Renderosity. I have tried to select work that I've not only done in XenoDream, but other software such as Bryce, Photoshop, UF, and KPT.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit, and encourage all forms of feedback.

I always like abstracts like this, just searching through them and finding the hidden pictures and forms. A great combination of shapes and and colours and lights and darks.

Great colors with a cool, undersea vibe. Excellent abstract, Bryan!

Is this a volumetric study, Bryan? Reminiscent of "bloop"s. Fantastic mix of colors and shapes and a great composition.
