I have admired the work on this site, especially the pieces that are in the cg choice gallery. I am a hobbyist painter who worked in 3d modeling for two years, doing models for film and tv as well as developing powerful proprietary MEL scripts. Unfortunately the company was not well managed and ran out of money to pay me. So I am now working professionally as a web interface programmer and spending my free time doing art.
I love to illustrate and write fantasy. I cut my teeth so to speak illustrating Tolkien and just recently started my first piece to illustrate my own writing.
You can see my 3d and 2d work at www.soulscapes.net. I look forward to interacting, giving and receiving feedback as we all work to become the best artists we can.
