  • I was looking at “Tropical Moon of Thetis” the other day (I have a print hanging in the room where my kids do most of their playing) and it occurred to me that I could make some nice improvements with my new software.

    The original was really a quick and dirty attempt to compose a Vue scene in front of a Lightwave generated background (it may have been the first time I tried such a thing). I was quite surprised that the image became so popular.

    Anyway, I’ve composed a new version and it’s now up on the New Images page. I hope you like it.

  • Those of you looking for a festive 4th of July wallpaper can have a look at “Happy 4th” or “The Emblem Of“. Hope you have a safe and happy holiday!

  • I did a little more work on “Outpost”, tweaking the scale and the moon environment somewhat. The new render is up this morning. The original has been moved to the Pickle Jar.
  • Late Update: Some of you have mentioned that you miss the orange “neon” in the original “Outpost”. I removed it pretty much at the last minute. I liked it when the base was viewed from the top, but didn’t think it necessary with the ground level view. Anyway, I’ve posted a version with the orange glow intact inside the Pickle Jar.

    If you have a preference perhaps you could post here and tell me which you prefer? I’ll give it a day or so and the favorite will remain in the gallery.

  • I was looking through “Full Moon” with Ian last week when the idea struck me to create a wallpaper featuring the Moon. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do, and the idea took a few days to get started, but I think I’m happy with the end result. The render is called “Outpost” and it is up now for your review.
