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

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

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. 😟
