Starbright Illustrations is my 3D artwork and
modelling portfolio site. On Starbright you can find my 3D models of
spaceships, robots and scenes – sometimes including the source
files – and the illustrations produced from them.
Ever since
I was a very young child I have been sketching visions of the future.
I have been sketching monsters, robots, cities which have been
reclaimed by primeval forest and of course spaceships.
In this
process I have been influenced by a plethora of great artists,
including artists doing the visualisations for major sci-fi motion
pictures and the less trumpeted artists of minor British weekly pulp
comic book science fiction.

I
have taken
these influences and mixed in the power of cutting-edge 3D creation
tools to make some beautiful images of spaceships and other sci-fi
scenes.
I have now settled on using 3D, but finding the best
way to turn my sketch-book images into attractive colour designs and
illustrations has been a long journey. I've dabbled with almost every
technique imaginable. On Starbright you can find designs and
illustrations done with 2D packages like GIMP and Photoshop as well.
And an often overlooked finishing touch is the blurb written about an
image, a piece of fluff, just a few lines long, can make an enormous
difference to enjoying an image.

I hope you enjoy journeying
through these worlds of the imagination as much as I have enjoyed
making them.
And you
can also email me to get my
mesh creation and tweaking talents on your project, or read my blog
where I talk about the exciting challenges of producing these 3D
images.
This
site has been redesigned a couple of times, but I hate destroying
pages and links once they have been created, it makes 404 errors and
annoyance for people following old links to your site, so you can
still access all the old content from the old
front page.
