• Thanks for the feedback. It didn’t take me long to figure out that “Court” was a little too dark and shadowy, so I kicked up the lighting a little and rendered it again. You’ll find it on the new images page, with the yesterday’s render now residing in the Picklejar.

• I’ve just posted my latest render, “Court of the Azure Dragon“. Watching this one render has kindled thoughts of upgrading my workstation. My dual 1 gHz doesn’t seem as fast as it once did.

  Normally I would use this space to ask you for feedback on my latest render. It turns out I always like feedback on my latest renders, so instead of always inquiring about it here I’ve decided to add a simple “Send Comments” mailto link to each work on the new images page.

• I’ve added a new render of “Sunflower“. The first render is still available in the Picklejar if you want to compare.

• Did I say it would take a couple of days? Make that three. I still want to do another render or two, but I’d like to get a little feedback first. With that in mind I present my latest render, entitled “Sunflower“. I’m sure it’s not entirely scientifically correct, but given the title of my gallery you cannot expect everything to perfectly mirror reality. Like I said, comments appreciated.
• While back home for the holidays my family and I had lunch at a local Vietnamese restaurant. My step-dad snapped a picture of us at our table and I’ve posted it for you. From left to right are my mother, my big brother Eric, Jessie, and myself. No reason for posting this other than to share with you a bit of the wonderful time I had back home.

• Just wanted to let you know that I am working on something new. I took a couple of days off after posting “Caverline” so I could spend time with my friend visiting from home.

  The new wallpaper is quite unlike anything I’ve done before and I want to make sure it looks right before I post it. It should be up within the next couple of days.

  If you are anxious to look at something new(-ish), I’ve posted two Picklejar versions of “Iris Nebula” for you to check out.
