Random find on an external harddrive. Renders I made in 2010 that kinda sparked the idea for that animation.

I promised elsewhere I'd try an image with a small subject instead of filling the frame with moy model.

This is the result!

How it began and how it ended, variations of a theme. I'm very pleased with how these turned out. Pretty much all #Lightwave3d with a little colur tweaking in Photoshop. #ScifiArt
The Black Hole artwork of the USS Cygnus by Peter Ellenshaw.

Rejig of a render from last year. Mandelbulb3d for the background, Photoshop for the planet and #Lightwave3d for the render of @gmd3d.bsky.social Wasp model.
My interest in Submarines started with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Harper Goff's Nautilus design.
On August 3, 1958, the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, became the first vessel to reach the North Pole by travelling beneath the Arctic ice cap.
by Commander William R. Anderson & Clay Blair

Watching/reading Ice Station Zebra set me up to read this again

Illustrations done for press releases over the years. Sadly I get these commissions less and less often as AI takes over the world. I worry about my future in this industry. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

"Rag Tag" A really old early render of mine from when I was just getting my teeth into #Lightwave3d. I was obsessed (kinda still am) with volumetric lighting. #BattlestarGalactica
