Starbright 3D

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.
