Your attention to detail (As always) is superb, right down to the inside textures of the engine cones! Marvelous!
Incarnadine
I have always enjoyed your work, both from a technical and aesthetic approach.

Wow it is excellent even if this gigantic size is a bit hard to see on my monitor, even if I were using dual screen. I think the pictures you do is great. This is what can be done almost today, it would need some years to build but most of the technology exists and it can be done in some year's time. Most of the spaceships that are more of a warship type have a lot more technology and science needed to be invented for them to work.

Artwork - I thought these were photographs! You are great with Bryce and the little things most people don't bother that you do provide us with quite a realistic 'artist's render. Don't let anyone's comments decide your abilities - you are very GOOD and could possiby get employment at NASA as a artist for them IMHO!

I've looked through the last few images and can't see anyone moaning about your textures, so I can only assume it's on another site or they are cowardly enough to not share their views with the community. In either case, I think they are totally missing the point of your work. I totally get what you are doing and where you've been and where your're going and (like the song says) don't go changing to try and please [them]. As for the watermark, it's a shame, but you gotta do what you can to stop pilferers. I've had a few pictures stolen and it's not a nice feeling. Rather than watermarks, I hunted down and killed them. (Just another option I'm exploring) Maybe just add a mega death laser cannon and it would be perfection ;-)

supersize is right..I had to scroll around to find the comments..;) great work as usual..ya make it look so easy..keep 'em coming.

Excellent work, David. I have you in my Favorites because your work is inspirational. It's sad that some people bring along a backpack of expectations when viewing the artwork of others. Instead of trying to see what the artist is trying to convey, they impose their own idea of what passes for art. Keep up the great work, David. I'll always look forward to your next piece.

for me is a impressionant bryce model...a magnificent piece of work....excellent textures and megasize...
ComplxMind
Wow...now that is one big picture! Oh, and a wonderful model too. Excellent details.

I guess from your comments that someones been grief David, my say is ignore them, your work is consistently well executed and it has been a great trip to watch the Shenandoah and the trip to mars that you've worked through. My only adverse comment if I were forced to make one would be the watermark, but I can understand why you've done it. Keep up the awesome work and ignore the naysayers!
jocko500
to me your work is you and no one can take that away from you. keep true to yourself and keep on trucking.

Hmmmmm......you know the whole "mega death laser canon" notion gives me an idea. "THE WEAPONS OF SPACE TRAVEL!" series. Ah yes, that's corny but it could be fun if the weapons were pausible. Anyway, nice work as usual. V

In addition to the obvious technical proficiency of this and all of your models, your choice of lighting really sets off this structure/vehicle. Superb work indeed!

Excellent modeling and quite plausible design as always. You are really a master of the interplanetary spaceships arena of the speculative spaceship design genre. Keep true to yourself and your own vision of our future in space. Don't pay any attention to those who view your work through their own limited expections of what 3D CGI SF art should be like or what topics it should be about. We need more artists like you to remind us that there are other ways to envision space travel than just another place to fight amongst ourselves. Please keep up the great work and moving forward with Bryce.

I have noticed a lot of people expressing the opinion that everything has to look like it survived World War III and was dragged through a swamp afterwards, in order to look "real." I don't believe those people have looked at reality much.
