Artwork Main Page

This section of geir.org showcases my computerized artwork renderings.  I started doing computer art back in '00 as a way to unwind, but I've begun to get some recognition for it.  Ringside View was cover No. 488 at Sci-Fi Weekly and several of my images are featured on Desktop Starships.  Much to my surprise, I became one of the 4th quarter 2006 winners of the Illustrators of the Future contest by submitting Ringside View, First Landing and LostSoul.  So technically I'm published in print as well, with one interior illustration to my credit in Writers of the Future Volume XXIII (page 390).  I'm starting to get a little bit of recognition for my work, but it remains a hobby.

For software, I still primarily use Bryce (6.1), with figures imported from Poser(7) or the latest version of DAZ Studio.  I mostly use Paint Shop Pro (now version X2 from Corel) for postwork, texting and compositing.  I'm also beginning to do more actual "drawing", at least as part of the image creation process and with my prize money, I bought a Wacom tablet, Painter X and Photoshop CS3.

All of my images are accessible in the topical galleries reached by the submenu navigation icons at the top of this page or by the links on the right.  Most rendering since 2003 are wrapped in their own pages, with descriptions or background information, but older thumbnails just lead to full-sized versions of the images.

Below, are thumbnails of my more popular images (as rated in views or favorites on Renderosity, where lately I've tended to post my images first, since that's easier than updating these pages) and then a set of all my images since the last update of this page.

Enjoy.

The SciFi Section contains various science fiction-themed renderings that don't fit into my future history or Universal Expeditions themes.

The Future Section contains chronologically ordered science fiction images related to my Future History.

The UXP Section contains renderings from versions of my Universal Expeditions (UXP) concept of a umbrella foundation for conducting space exploration.

The Misc Section contains rendering that don't fit well into any of the above categories.

The Archive Section contains older, more marginal renderings.  These may be capriciously deleted if I get short on on space.
