Hi my name is Bill(started here as Primaltruck). I am an old hippy from the santa cruz mountains.I live with my wife and kids Alice and Chris..we also have 2 other kids Jason and leah, that are married and live elswhere..we live in the redwood forest with a spring and waterfall on our property and about 700 2nd growth redwoods..My artwork is definetly inspired by were i live and my family.My daughter(Alice) being a Tatoo artist and wife being my worst critic.she knows me and knows how to tell me when something doesnt look right without getting under my skin..Alice likes all art so she always says good things that help inspire me and i try to do the same for her..if you look at my rendorosity gallery you will see that i had a pretty rough start and took a year or so to get the hang of 3D art as i have always scetched and painted and created..But learning how to deal with something new is always an adventure..and its been a lot of fun and i have made alot of friends along the way.I mostly use Bryce and Poser and Photoshop on a Dell PC..and plan on getting Vue in the near future..and...I couldnt talk about art with out mentioning Dudley Wade(Prog)Who was one of my first friends here and a heck of a great teacher and i think i learned more from his advise and studying his art than anything else....I dont think i have a style,except that my style is in doing something different when i can think of it!and the longer i post art in these galleries the more i realize that its not really about the art but about the friendships made....getting better with our art is just icing on the cake..I have also been a musician all my life and have played guitar for 30 some odd years..Loving everything from Mel Torme to Jimi Hendrix to all the great new music i hear..some Favorites..Frank Zappa,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Beatles,Pink Floyd,Yes,Scott Henderson,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Steve Morse,Nuno Bentencourt,Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Frank Gambale,Al Dimeola,Les Paul,Chet Atkins,Speedy wes,Jimmy Brynt,Barney Kestle,Charlie Byrd,and many more..i have been posting at renderosity mostly and at Dreamslayerart,Tapestry of dreams,Innertraveler,artzone,renderotica and 3DCommune..not all at the same time...lol...I am very easy to get along with and treasure the friendships made here..I am not afraid to speak up for what i believe in ,am strictly non violent,love nature,and always looking for fun and a reason to celebrate life...so dont be afraid to say hello or ask for help..I dont bite that hard...Love and Peace and Respect.

This rocks, just like the whole Journey album which is is their first one (made right after the key members left Santana), and one of my all time favorites. Take a listen to the first song on the album "Of A Lifetime" - Neal Schoen is one of my favorite guitarists. With your imagination Bill, sci-fi is a real natural genre for you. A big VOTE!! for this one.

890 Ebots! Arrhhh! lol! Who needs a typing course with this site! LOL! I agree, the old Journey rocks..still have alot of albums on vinyl! Fantastic Sci-Fi image, Bill! The character is so awesome and the texture is excellent! All the props in the image are so well done and really add to overall feel of this ultra cool piece! Excellent work! (Good luck on your ebots!)

Dear Bill, 890 e-bots is NOTHING! Wait until you see what happens to the GIRLS on Monday with their e-bots during Monday Morning Meredith Madness!!!! I had an uncle that was an avid science fiction fan and collector - he taught me to read using the old pulps as my textbooks, (and people wonder why I'm strange!) This reminds me on an old Astounding cover - I just can't come up with what story it was illustrating. It also reminds me of one of the Adam Link robot covers. I think it is amazing how you have managed to create it almost gender neutral as would be the case of a robot/cyborg. I'm not sure how much is props and how much is post work - it's just too well integrated! You've got a very steady hand - the spiralling smoke/flame/contrail is really a great epicycloid! Again on the integration, I can't pick out what is volumetric lighting and what is post - incedible work! Good luck with your e-bots and dial up! But for what it's worth, I get way behind on my visits - like now - and have got SDSL at home and fiber at work! But seeing what your friends are up to is always fun even if it takes a lot of time! Love, Meredith

holy cows. This is awesome. Fabulously created piece of art here. Just amazingly done. Bravo and a VVVVVVVote!!!

Volumetric lighting rocks! I've used it quite often in P5 renders, the downside is that the render takes ages... And this image rocks too! I love the POV and the vinelike props, and that spaceman texture/suit is just awesome. Excellent work!
