Born in Germany, grew up in Central (Manitoba) and then Western (British Columbia) Canada.
I'm a part-time Hobby/Illustrator.
I have some of my work published with some Online Games, Novels, and in some Software programs www.nbos.com (Astrosythesis v2, fleet and Starship illustrations... Sci-fi RPGer's check it out!)
I love creating stuff in 3D and rendering it.
I prefer not to create hyper-realistic images, I like the painted illustrated look.
You might notice that a lot of my models are Anime inspired with more western influence. Quite a few of my models were made so they could be used for animation (without extra polys to bogg down the rendering process.
Some of my influences come from:
Makoto Kobayashi
http://aswars.tripod.com/index.html
Leiji Matsumoto
http://www.leiji-matsumoto.ne.jp/
And other artists, plastic modelers, and CG artists of all kinds.
My Current Software is:
trueSpace 6.6 for (Starship modeling)
Poser 4(Artist), 5 and 6.
Vue 4 D'Esprit (It's old but its still awesome for terrain/cityscapes)
Photoshop 5.5 (old but very-very useful)
Hexagon 2.1
Carrara 6 pro (just learning to use it)
Corel DrawGS X3
Corel Painter X (New)
Dogwaffle Pro
Groboto (New)
Anime Studio Pro (New)
I'm here to make friends with other 3D artists of all ages.
I'm married and have 3 kids (ages 18,7 and 5).
I'm here to help fellow artists and I'm willing to learn some new techniques to help my own abilities.
Yes, I did design and create all the Spaceships, I try to create everything I render (except for people, why re-invent the wheel?)
If you like what you see in my Public Gallery, My Personal Gallery has all my WIP's so you can see how I create this stuff. Just Invite me as a friend and you can check it out.
I am here for: Inspiration
I want to meet people for: Inspiration and to inspire.
