This page contains samples of some of my best artwork and various 3D models to date. Feel free to comment on anything you see here. BIO I have been an artist all my life from sculpting to painting to building ships in bottles I have had a hand in nearly everything. Several years ago I was given a glimpse at what a computer could do when an artist was at the helm. I quickly learned that the way to express myself and bring my visions to life was 3D art. I have a background in printing, graphics communication and advertising design. I became lead modeler at Faultline Studios and worked on illustrations for the card game "Crown of the Emperor". I have worked on several book covers and enjoy bringing ideas to life.
I am now lead graphics artist for RonEd Media and have continued to increase my abilities and portfolio. My goal has been to do illustrations for a sci-fi book, magazine or non-fiction titles on the paranormal. I enjoy creating various images usually sci-fi in nature that center on the darkside or human thought and technology. The many "what ifs" that fill our minds at dark hours and the need to believe in other things that give us hope in dark times. I have learned to use many programs and will likely learn many more to help in telling my stories better. The latest addition to my pallet is Vue 8 Complete and the results are amazing, expect more. I would like to thank Sci-fi channel and Sci-fi weekly for allowing me to share some of my visions with the world " My latest contribution to the 3-D world is the Cydonia model and material sets, a joint project between me and Gill Brooks. You can also find my "Shattered Worlds" sets and materials for Vue and Poser in the market place.

I think this would look a lot better if you were to remove the cars and make it seem more present day, now the cars look like little mice or something, and aren't very convincing, compared to the space ship which looks awesome.

Have to agree with punmaster. The ship looks great but the the cars...

I may redesign this one day with some nice textured vehicles, but I want all the vehicles to look the same as there is no individuality in this future. Glad you enjoy it the ship was going to be a free-bee one day but its way to large to upload lol.

The ships design is ways to simplistic (I do not mention the cars here ;-). The textures do not give the expression of a real spaceship. It just looks like the average seamless scifi texture that you used here. Also the mapping is not right. It looks like cubic mapping everywhere, even if spheric mapping was needed. The same with the cylinders in the front. The textures dont fit here, I think they are too small.

Cars could use some work. Ship, however is very impressive!
