I do CGI, some of it fetish art, some of it fantasy and SF. I’m a child of the 70s and I grew up reading Heavy Metal (with the weird European stuff, not the comic book crap Kevin Eastman started running after he bought and ruined it with his TMNT riches), so you’ll find I put a lot of work into giving it a sleazy, airbrushed, side-of-the-makeout-van look.

I do CGI/VFX from my home. These are some shots of a short film me and my buddy worked on. We needed a CG android running things aboard a starship (I just pulled some stills, these are actually fully animated and composited into the liveaction footage): [Shot 1](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/3797012591/) [Shot 2](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/3797012543/) [Shot 3](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/3797829108/) Here’s a [shipwreck](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/2907837584/) they run into. Also, here’s a few sketches… [A self-portrait](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/3251497806/) when I was in high school. [A character design.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7604613@N04/2900706911/) I’ve been kicking around CG animating the short story Flowering Mandrake by George Turner for the longest time. Some day… _sigh_ _ETA: Click on the “All Sizes” button to see the larger._ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/artists-show-your-work/505222.md?page=2)
