• Added “Symphony” to the gallery today. It was inspired by some of the awesome aurora imagery available over at Spaceweather.com. I particularly enjoyed the digital photos by Phil Hoffman.

  I’m using the same basic aurora technique in “Symphony” that I used in “Song of the Sky”, with a few new tricks. I think you can never have too many cool aurora pictures. What do you think?

• Added a second, less hirsute version of “Webmaster” (there’s still some fuzz on this new one if you look close). The first render is available in the Picklejar. I’m going to continue tweaking this over the weekend, so please send over your comments if you have something to say.

• I’ve added the first of my Halloween images today. It’s called “Webmaster” and you’ll find it on the new images page. This image is still quite young so I’d love to hear your feedback.

  You can find the rest of my Halloween imagery by using the search engine. Just enter “halloween”.

• I’ve posted an updated version of “The Summoning“, correcting some of the issues present in the first version. Thanks to everyone who sent in comments! The old version is till available in the PickleJar along with a red and a green version of the current render.
• October is an auspicious month for me. I’ve been off of cigarettes for one year now and I’m pretty sure I’ve kicked the habit for good. Many thanks to those who wrote me with support over this past year!

• Those of you who were members last year will recall that I lost a whole hard drive full of Lightwave files. The hard disk was physically damaged so nothing could be salvaged. Lesson learned: always back up your stuff.

  I lost some of my favorite scenes; including Threesome, Phaeralon, Spire City, and Pyre. Now that I’m offering posters I want to recreate some of those lost scenes in hi-res format. Instead of trying to duplicate them exactly, I’d rather redo them creatively.

  My first offering is now up on the New Images page. It’s called “The Summoning” and it is meant to replace “Pyre”. If you have comparison thoughts, I would love to hear them.
