Ive been trying to do a character that looks like me. Not quite theyre yet but its getting close.BIOIm a 46 year old Software Engineer living in Wisconsin, United States. Ive been married for 29 years and have three daughters and two grandsons.
I always thought I had no artistic skill whatsoever but when a friend at work introduced me to Poser in Sept 2003 I was fascinated with what he could do. Bren is the person who gave me the nickname of digi-b. Anyway he took off for our division in China and Ive been alternately blown away and frustrated.
I posted my first image at Renderosity on Oct 2003 and surprisingly nobody deleted it and told me to stop wasting their disk space. Instead Ive meet some really great people and received a number of very generous comments. Renderosity is a fantastic place!!

Excellent work!!!

I liked this movie as well. I loved all the visual cues to early Hollywood and star-studded Los Angeles, from the obvious early movie stars, down to the references to the pre-Disney orange groves where Disneyland was later located. One critique: you forgot his gloved thumb control switch....
SK2Design
Awesome! Maybe it's because I'm a girl, but I'd much rather see the Rockateer than half naked women. That's just me of course. LOL I love the look of movement in this image. Magnificent artwork!
antje
OH WOW!! This is AWESOME!!!!!!!! The lighting, POV, sense of motion... Fantastic!! :o)
mapps
The movie was good but the original comics were better, this image does both credit :-) In the comic his girl, Jenny, was more like Betty Page!
cliff-dweller
Oh, this is marvelous. You've created a wonderful sense of motion. Love the fire coming from the jetpack and the dramatic sky. Excellent work!!
Anthony Appleyard
How did you make the jetblast flame? I had a lot of trouble getting my propane flamethrower flame (freestuff) anywhere near realistic.

A wonderful image Joel! I see you've used your hair painting skills to give us flames (WOW)! Love the motion blur you've provided too and the textures this guy has in his costume are superb!!! VOTE
svdl
Awesome motion blur! But I always wondered if the Rocketeer didn't burn his butt off on a long flight... Must have asbestos plates in the bottoms of his pants! Magnificent image, love the fire, well done!
chrislenn
lol you cant just do rocketeer images as my education is surely lacking - have no idea of who he is :o( am assuming he also rides a horse because of those pants lol excellent stuff Chris :o)
