I have brought back the Digital Blasphemy User Gallery and am now accepting submissions again. If you’ve been inspired by my artwork or just feel that my users would enjoy your 3D renders please feel free to submit your work!

I have a new landscape project going now so I doubt I will do any versions of this one. No ETA yet but it is showing promise!

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of Annuli to the Members Gallery this afternoon. I’ve added a free version for Facebook Timelines as well.

I’ve also added a version in the Pickle Jar with the focal point a little closer to the camera. What do you think? Should I add a few color variations too?

Lastly I wanted to share this short video of Ian playing with my Dad. I shot it back in 2006 and times like this were the reason I moved my family cross-country 7 years ago.

I’ve added “Annuli“, my third Mandelbulber abstract, to the Members Gallery this morning.

I’ve gotten in the habit of playing around with Mandelbulber on my Macbook Pro while my other workstations are busy rendering Vue or Lightwave graphics. It seems to be the only 3D art program I can use on my MBP without crashing the video card.

I’m still learning Mandelbulber so my early renders are still all about trying different aspects of the program. I was learning how to use different light sources for this particular render (rather than shading the model directly).

I should have a multiscreen render up shortly.

I’ve added one final version of “The Floating Garden (Twilight)” to the Members Gallery this morning.

I’ve replaced the orange sunlight with moonlight and brought back the green water. It’s quite a bit darker than the Pickle Jar versions (all with orange/pink sunlight) but I think it fits better with the original.

Dual and triple-screen versions are available for Members and I’ve added a free version for Facebook Timelines here.

A couple of other items to mention.

First, I’ve added “Hidden Forces” to the Free Gallery. If you like the wallpaper check out the dynamic PS3 theme from Disruptive Publishers (YouTube).

Also, I have put together a small sampling of my late Father’s artwork here if anyone is interested.

Dad went to Illinois Weslyan University on a football scholarship but injured his knee early in his freshman year. He never played college football again but while he was recovering he took up painting.

I’m not sure if he ever took any art classes, but he enjoyed being creative until the end.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’ve decided to run a quick special so until midnight save 25% off all Memberships and Renewals by using the coupon code “valentine”.

For those that who haven’t yet signed up I’ve added “Hybrid” to the free gallery today here. Members can find a few more resolutions here and my two other “Valentine’s Day” wallpapers here.

Enjoy the roses and feel free to share them!
