I’ve added an Autumn version of “Sierra” the Members Gallery today.

This is actually two renders (one with green leaves and one with Autumn colors) which I have layered in Photoshop so I could vary the leaves on a “per-tree” basis. It was time consuming but I hope the results were worth it!

Let me know what you think!

You may have noticed the Da Vinci quote at the top of my Works-In-Progress page which reads “Art is never finished, only abandoned”. Here is another render which proves this axiom.

I opened up my “Cobalt Daisy” scene file (created using Lightwave 7 back in 2002) in Lightwave 11 with the intention of rendering out the original in separate layers for an upcoming mobile project. When I had finished with that, however, I couldn’t resist the temptation to tweak some of my textures. A few hours later this was the result…

I posted it on my Facebook Page last night and asked folks what I should do with it. The majority said I should post it in the gallery so here it is.

This render is dedicated to my lovely wife Jessica. October 12, 2012 is our 10 year wedding anniversary and this piece was originally created 10 years ago. Te amo!

My friends at Disruptive Publishers have added 3 new Dynamic PS3 Themes to the PSN store today; “Castle Dracula” (above), “Moonshadow” and “The Overseer”. You can preview the new themes and the entire collection of themes here.

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Sierra” to the Members Gallery this morning. This one took nearly 5 days to render at 9830 x 2048 and I had to restart it 3 times due to crashes. I hope it was worth the wait!

I’m feeling like working on something “Autumnal” now…

I’ve added a new version of “Tharsis” to the Members Gallery this morning. I’ve also added the dual and triple-screens today.

The changes in the new version are mostly in the sky. I’ve brightened the second Martian moon a bit more and I’ve added a pale blue dot (with a paler/smaller white one) near the sun. I’ve read that you can see the Earth and the Moon as separate with the naked eye from Mars so I rendered them as a “double-planet” here.

The first version will stay available in the Pickle Jar, even though the changes here are pretty minor.

Let me know what you think of the changes and the multiscreen!
