The Lawn Crew


I liked the landscape for my last work so much that I decided to reuse it. I took out the human and replaced him with some dinosaurs.

Hiking Toll


This was mainly done for the landscape. I was experimenting in view with turning a tree into an ecosystem rather than doing to a terrain as one normally would. I really just added the character to give it a sense of scale. The toll keeper was done in poser. Everything else was done in Vue. A bit of post production color tweaking was done using gimp.

Island of Three


I was looking to do a nice sunset cloudscape to capture some reds and purples. The figure was done using poser and its cloth room. Everything else, including the final render, was done in Vue. A bit of post production was done using Gimp.

The Majesty of Trees


Just having some more fun with clouds in Vue. The girl was done in poser – I just love that cloth room. Everything else was done in Vue, as was the final render. Some tweaking of the color was done using Gimp.

Last Stand at the Druid’s Pool


This is a fan illustration done for the novel “Black Wizards” by Douglas Niles. The characters were all done using Poser and exported to Vue. Vue was used to generate the scenery and to do the final render. Post production was done with Gimp.

Once a Temple


I wanted to create an image with some fancy standing rocks. I like how the cloudscape worked out on this one as well. Pretty much everything was done using Vue. The rider at the bottom is a model I did in poser some time ago and reuse from time to time.

Druid



This is another fan-art for the novel Darkwalker on Moonshae.

It features the druid (and one of the primary protagonists) Robyn Moonsinger. Also included is the unicorn, Kamerynn and the faerie-dragon Newt. This comes from a scene near the end of the book, at which point, the Kamerynn is blind and relies on Newt to be his eyesight. I tried to suggest this by having Newt’s shadow fall across Kamerynn’s eye.

All three characters were created in Poser and exported to Vue. The scenery and final render were done using Vue. I used Gimp to tweak the colors a bit and emphasize the early evening mood.
