My real name is Andrew, and I'm thirtysomething, living in Yorkshire, England. I work as a gardener at a large country house. BIOI've drawing and painting ever since I can remember, usually fantasy or sci-fi subjects but I'm not averse to doing the occaisional landscape or whatever else pops into my head. I'm also a keen photographer and having just moved to digital this has opened up all sorts of possibilities!
I tend to do most of my work on the computer now, rather than on paper, using Truespace for the 3D stuff and Photoshop for everything else.
When I'm not being creative at the computer I'm heavily - and I mean 'heavily' into astronomy! Most clear nights will find me outside with my telescope (a computer controlled 10" dob) until the small hours of the morning! I haven't got into astrophotography yet, but it's on my to do list!
As you may have noticed I'm influenced/inspired by the following artists/musicians:
Rodney Matthews
Salvador Dali
Hieronymous Bosch
Chris Achilleos
Boris Vallejo
Clannad
Iron Maiden
Mike Oldfield
Jean Michel Jarre
Kate Bush
Vangelis
And many,many more. ;)

Very cool, very fun. It is a great start and looks close to being completed. Nice details. I vote that you finish it.

Very cool work. The one thing that i'm not sure about is the transparent body, i think i'd prefer it solid. Other than that I really like this image, you should definately continue. :o)

Like it! I know he's a mech-toad (Not to be confused with the fast food version - McToad) but maybe some nostrils?

excellent modeling and texturing!!! the lighting is perfect!!! outstanding work!!!
WZRD
Like Toadally awesome Dude! Now you just need a Robo-ratty and a Mech-mole and you could have your own techno version of "Wind in the Willows". One comment - if you are going to stay with the semi-transparent body some internal organs might be cool - transistors and batteries and stuff. Definitely do more!!
Boofy
I agree with WZRD, internal organs & bits would be cool, love to see it finished.
