Just wanted to wish a happy Thanksgiving holiday to those of you celebrating tomorrow. Safe and smooth travels to those of you on-the-go this weekend!

We will be hosting my family tomorrow and I’m looking forward to seeing my brother Eric who is driving in from Akron.

I personally have a great deal to be thankful for; a happy/healthy family (above) and a job I love. Regarding the latter the Bliss family would like to say “Thanks!” to you for your support these past 11 years!

Until 11/29 I am offering 30% off all new memberships and renewals. Use the coupon code “tgd4me” to get the discount.

Thank you all! Hope to have some new renders up next week!!

A couple of items to mention today. First, I received the finished box art this morning for the new version of “Vue d’Esprit“. I’m so honored that they chose to feature my work!

They asked me about a month ago to use the image but I had to wait until the finished art was complete to share it here.

Second I wanted to mention that Zazzle has added Speck cases (for iOS devices) to the product pool. I’ve created a few different DB cases so far but if there is an image you would like to see please let me know either in the comments below or directly through email.

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Winter Solstice” to the gallery this morning. I’ve posted a higher-resolution preview image on my Facebook page if you are interested.

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!
