Welcome to Starbright Illustrations.

Here you will find primarily pages and pages of 3D and 2D art. But that's not all - oh no - there's also  tutorials, meshes, blends, sketches, textures
and a blog. Right now I am particularly proud of my 3D spaceship gallery, and be my guest if you want to stop reading and go straight to look at the
amazing 3D spaceship renders.

My name is Brett Fitzpatrick, I'm an illustrator and I produce lots of images, meshes, designs logos and illustrations, including; 3D models, children's
story book art, illustrations for science fiction short stories and novels, illustrations for role-playing games, sequential art (comic books) ... and a
whole lot more.

I plan to keep adding art and talking about the creative process, with day to day updates in my blog, all to make this illustration site a fun place to
be. I often find interesting 3D art and game related stuff as I'm crawling the web, and whenever i do I post the best stuff in my Blog straight away. Oh
and if you need an illustration or design for your own projects please don't hesitate to get in touch; just click the email button.

As far as experience goes I got my degree at Leeds Met in Creative Arts, specialising in Illustration, but I also spent a semester working in the
animation studios. My animation work starts making an appearance whenever I complete an illustration because I'm always tempted to make them
move, and with moder software that isn't as hard as you might imagine. As soon as each animation is completed I add it here along with the more
static images.

Click around, have fun, send me an email and tell me what you think.

3D Illustrations

3D illustrations and animations are the latest
addition to Starbright Illustrations, and right here I
have to thank all the dedicated people at the
Blender Foundation, and everyone else who works
on Blender, works with Blender or writes tutorials or
other material for Blender. They have created a
very powerful and versatile 3D software suit that
can compete with the big boys when it comes to the
sort of images that can be produced with it.





2D Illustrations

I also use Photoshop an awful lot, both to create 2D
vector images and to add the finishing touches to a
3D illustration that really makes it come alive.
Photoshop of course is a very expensive piece of
software and I'll be stuck with CS3 for a long time to
come because I'm unwilling to fork out hundreds of
pounds/euros/dollars (delete as applicable) just to
upgrade. I've already upgraded my Blender for free
and I think I've gotten used to the experience.
Fun Illustrations

Creating fun illustrations with cute characters and
interesting situations is one of the most rewarding
things about being an illustrator.
This cute children's book illustration really conveys
the mouse's joy and anticipation on discovering a
huge chunk of stinky cheese. This image is created
mostly in Photoshop with vectors, but is based on
an original pencil sketch that was scanned into the
computer.
