Of All Places (2017)

I recently asked my fans on Facebook which of my “classic” images they would most like to see redone using my modern tools. I received over 100 replies but would you believe not a single one of them requested I revisit “Of All Places” from 2007? Regardless, I was trying out a new method for creating rocky structures using Zbrush and the revision sort of happened naturally.

This scene departs from the original a bit in that it is set more in a rocky ravine than a dark cave. I rendered the original using Lightwave but used Vue for this scene. I hope you like the update!

Dapplewood (Night)

I thought it would be fun to turn the lights down on my Dapplewood scene and add some fireflies (something I haven’t done since “Summerwood” over 12 years ago). I hope you enjoy it!

Dapplewood

This render was an exercise in creating trees with multiple trunks using Plant Factory and placing them in a “volumetric” Vue environment. Or just creating something nice and lush for your desktop 🙂

The project went through a couple of different revisions as a I tweaked the size of the leaves to allow more (or less) light to penetrate the canopy. I may or may not add those versions to the Pickle Jar. I really prefer this one. Hope you agree!

Aquarii Prime

I created this planet in Lightwave to use in the sky of my “Aquarii” render. It occurred to me, however, that it might make a nice simple wallpaper on its own. I’ve added it to the Planetscapes gallery, including multiscreens and a 8K lossless version for my Supporters/Plus Level Members.

I hope you like it!

Acumen (Pickle Jar Versions)

I’ve added a couple of different takes on “Acumen” to the Pickle Jar. The gallery version is pretty vibrant so I went an entirely different direction for the alternate takes. Let me know what you think!
