BIOI was born in the 1950's in Tennessee, and have been here ever since. I like the blues, rock and roll, and a little bit of everything else; I also play guitar (badly). I have worked in about every medium there is, but almost stopped all traditional work when I discovered computer art. In 1986 (can't believe it was that long ago), I bought an Amiga 500 (remember them?). I used a paint program called Deluxe Paint and the first 3D program I used was called Silver- upgraded to Turbo Silver (no, really!) and the program eventually became Imagine. I switched over to the IBM PC compatable in 1995, because the capabilities finally eclipsed those of the Amiga. I now use Bryce, Poser and Photoshop Elements. In art, as in music, I like a little of everything, so I usually surf All Galleries. I recommend this to everyone, because if you limit your vision to only Poser gallery, only Bryce, etc., you may find that you are repeating yourself in your art. Shake it up, and render on!

Back when I was a small child, this place scared me more tham Mordor. Excellent job of capturing the feel of the original matte. I'm sorry you're ending the series too.

Hey, tjohn, it's a classic, so it doesn't matter how long you linger over it. You can always re-decide later to pursue it at you leisure! Terrific modeling as always, love those "blobular" rock outcrops..!

Hats off to ya, this one rocks too my friend! For a self proclaimed lazy fella you sure seem to be showing some ambition with these Oz renders. Fantastic work once again! I am particularly fascinated with the night setting on this one... you really nailed it.
