Added “Winter Solstice” to the Members Gallery this afternoon. Auroras have always been a favorite theme for me, and I’ve always used Lightwave to create them before. I’ve attempted to model them here using the Apophysis fractal software. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it is an improvement or not.

One last tech note: This is my first render using the new version 9 of Vue d’Esprit.

I’ve been working on several projects for the past couple of weeks and they are all nearing completion. Rather than dump them all on you at once I think it would be better to allow each a brief moment in the spotlight.

First up is “Highland Winter“, the conclusion to my “Highland” seasonal series. I know a lot of you wanted to see an Autumn version, but I had to skip it due to the fact that the trees are all evergreens (sorry!).

The other two wallpapers in the pipeline are new projects and I hope to have them up soon. If you want to be notified when as I post new work you can either sign up for an email notice, subscribe to my RSS feed, “like” DB on Facebook and/or follow me on Twitter.

Thanks and stay tuned!

I’ve added “Canopy Creek (Autumn)” to the free gallery this morning.

This is one of four seasonal variations I made of this scene (the rest are available to my subscribers). I hope you enjoy it!

I’m off to go vote now (while this new project renders). Fellow Americans: Click here to find your polling place and get out there!

I hope you wall have a safe and happy Halloween. How do you like my costume this year? Happy little trees for all!

A couple of items to mention this morning. First, I’ve decided to stick with my first version of “The Haunted Nebula” for now. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I’ve also posted the dual and triple-screen versions of “Gotham Garden (Autumn)“. This one took quite a long time to render on my alternate machine. Sorry for the delay.

Lastly, this is the last day to get my calendar for 30% off (use coupon code “2011CALENDAR”).

That’s it for now. Remember to slow down if you are out driving tonight. I’ll be out there with my Jango Fett and little Fireman…

I’ve reworked the mouth on my “Haunted Nebula”. My first draft was a lot like this one, but I decided at the last to go for a more “Jack-o-Lantern” look with the version I posted Tuesday.

Which do you prefer? Your comments and ratings are helpful to me. I hope to work on the multiscreen for this one sometime this afternoon after I come back from Ian’s school Halloween party.
