Most impressive John, didn't know you were an artist :)

Thanks... i dont put the pencil to the paper like i used to.

I think teen angst used to be my fuel - i dont have that now LOL

Indeed. You certainly had far superior technical drawing skills than I did at that age. :up:

this is art.....

Thought it was a cool sight to share

Few recent renders, started getting back into Poser again :D Rather pleased with these two, some of the first I've done with displacement turned on. Tried displacememnt before but it seemed to just slow render times down, but if you only put 0.1 on then it's perfectly adequate and you still get fine render times :) these are also some of the only ones which I've edited in Photoshop too.

(Yea I know I'm not good at drawing human figures, but I figured I would give it a try)

I attacked some of those drawings I made with photoshop...

You should include a pregnant Vigidis by Edwards' side for the Iceland pic. And the sergeant should be smoking. Sorry just finished reading Red Storm again for the 4th time.

A few recent renderings done in Painter.

The late Elisabeth Sladen as Dr. Who Companion Sarah Jane Smith.

Grace Park as Battlestar Galactica's Sharon Valerii. I think she's starring in the rebooted Hawaii Five-O these days.

Out of curiosity, about how long does one of these portraits take? I'm guessing you're using a graphics tablet as well; true?

About five to six hours or so. Longer, if I start obsessively tweaking them to death. :D Yeah, they're drawn with a Wacom graphic tablet.

Man. Six hours with a graphics tablet, and I'm lucky to have something that would fit in on a kindergarten wall.

Do you/have you use/d traditional media as well?

Sadly, most of my old inks, paints, airbrush supplies and design markers live forgotten in a box in the closet. Too slow, too messy, too toxic. I did learn a lot from the years of traditional media though. And at least the pencils still get a healthy workout most days. :)

What tablet do you use Torplexed? Been meaning to get one for years rather than do everything with a mouse :DL

A Wacom Intuos3 9"x12" tablet. However, I keep eyeing those newer Cintiq tablets that Wacom makes now, where you work directly on the screen. I'm still trying to justify the expense though. :D

I wanted to do something like that but I ran out of time and felt I had way too many RSR pictures...

Oh well here are some more I've colorized with photoshop:

Your composition is getting much better TLAM, just adding the colour and the odd tweak to your original sketches is bringing more life to them. Keep it up :yeah:

Nice work, :yep:
