1) what brought you into 3D?
Years ago I used to create crummy 3d action games for the PC back in the early 90’s. Once the software evolved enough to accept 3d content I got into creating my own content for the games, I then started to create my own images and little mini stories.
2) How did you choose your nickname?
I’m a Star Wars fanatic. It’s the name to the Wookies planet.
3) How long have you been creating your artwork?
off and on for over 15 years.
4) Where do you draw your inspirations from?
From movies, TV and even music.
5) what are the specs of your render machine?
I have an 8 core AMD PC.
6) what is your favorite work you’ve created?
I’ve attached my favorite image, I really enjoy how the FX turned out out.
7) Out of all the various art mediums why 3D?
I like the opportunity to create something that is realistic looking and the huge range of possibilities it gives me to create. I can’t draw and this lets me put my ideas out on paper, so to speak.
8) What are your plans for the future?
I have a couple webcomics at another site that I’m working on and I want to complete those stories. One is a 1 shot called Shadow Man and I have 2 issues of one called Holy Toledo that I need to start on the third issue. It takes me a while to create them, so I’ve taken a break from the story after issue 2.
9) who are your favorite artists other than yourself?
The ones who create realistic looking images like elianeck and content maker stonemason
10) If someone reading this wants to start creating their own artwork what words of advice would you give them?
Practice, Practice and practice. Also ask questions and follow forum topics on your software, there are always great tips and hints from other users.
11) When developing your poses, what's been your most influential source for ideas?
I like to use pose sets and then tweak them to fit my needs.
12) Any hints on what your next project is going to include?
No idea what’s next, other then finishing those two web comics. I just create single images as ideas comes to me.
13) Do you have a job outside of 3D or do you consider this your full time occupation?
This is a hobby, I have an unrelated job to what I do in 3D.
14) With all the recent advancements in 3D technology what excites you the most? What do you dread the most?
I love the advancement of rendering tools like Reality and for animators the markerless motion capture software that uses your Kinect.
15) Speech time! any final words you have for your, fans and fellow 3D community?
No final words other than thanks for allowing me to do this and for reading this far.
