Q) what brought you into 3D?
I started in 3d modelling as part of my
old job in product and packaging design .
Q) How did you choose your nickname?
It was given to me by a friend , a very long time ago lol
Q) How long have you been creating your artwork?
Give or take about 20 years , I've always been doing some form
of art , starting with traditional 2d illustration and eventually
discovering 3d modelling and rendering .
Q) what are the specs of your render machine?
I have two render machines , but my main workstation is
an i7 -4930k with 64 gigs of ram and twin nvidia Gtx 780s .
Q)Poser or Daz Studio and why?
I actually use both from time to time , but i use poser mostly .
I have been using poser since version 3 when it
was owned by meta creations and I currently own
poser pro 2014 game dev edition ,personally I
find the program to be more flexible
and robust than daz studio .
Q) What render-er do you use? (Stock Poser or Daz or 3rd party) And what lead you to use it?
My render engine really depends on the artwork iam
producing ,for landscapes i will use vue or lumion but
i mostly render using posers stock firefly
render engine , but when i need more realism
octane GPUrenderer will get the job done .
Q) what is your favorite work you’ve created?
Q) Is there any image you’ve made that you wish you didn’t? why?
Around the time of the US gulf war (second one) i decided to make a an anti war poster , which i proceeded to post online at another website which name begins with an R .... cough ... cough ...... ... needless to say that didnt go down to well ..LOL ....
Q) Tell us about Carey, and how you came up with her.
Ive always had a fascination with houdini and his
escape acts , and decided to create a female magician with
superior talents that easily surpassed the old master ....
and at the same moment look damn fine doing so lol..
Carey was originally based on a bond girl from the movie
licence to kill , her spunky personality seemed to fit the
character perfectly at that time but the character has evolved
over the years taking inspiration from various other actresses
such as Megan fox ,Eva green etc .
Q) Carey has deff been through a lot! are there any circumstances you’d never put her in?
well non that i can think of at the
moment , shes game for
just about everything :)
Q) Tell us about your writing / rendering process.
The process starts with a concept and i write a
rough story , structured with a beginning , middle
and end .I try to include a rough story board with
this , with actual rough hand drawn sketches to
help me visualize the project . I often have pages
with panels already set up and do my render work
with those panel shapes in mind , which
helps speed up the project .
Q) what’s coming soon for Carey
Carey's next adventure takes her to the land
of reality television in a competition of life
and death !!and the pursuit of network ratings!
Q)) Out of all the various art mediums why 3D?
Honestly I've always found it more
enjoyable than traditional 2d illustration .
Q) What are your plans for the future?
My current short term plan is to finally
launch a sci fi super-heroine space epic
comic that i have been working on for some time ..
Q) who are your favorite artists other than yourself?
LUIS ROYO
boris vallejo
frank frazetta
Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri
Q) If someone reading this wants to start creating their own artwork what words of advice would you give them?
Starting out in any form of artwork is
tough , particularly these days with
so much amazing talent out there.
My advice is learn as much as you can from
those you admire , and don't be afraid to put
your work out there , while at the same time
develop a very thick skin . but be able to take
constructive criticism from those who are willing to
offer it .
Q) Do you have a job outside of 3D or do you consider this your full time occupation?
Around ten years ago i quit my regular job in
product design and advertising to concentrate on
a freelance career , I've never looked back since .
Q) Speech time! any final words you have for your, fans and fellow 3D community?
Thanks for viewing and purchasing and supporting my work !
