Absolutely ! Email me for details and I'm sure I'll do my best to help out.

I rarely refuse permission to display my artwork in galleries when I'm asked. I do insist on being asked first though, so please email me in that case. I do not allow use of the image for site decoration however.

I just wanted something clean and simple.. The layout does that, and I chose a slightly blue-grey to be as neutral as possible. It's more for the galleries than anything else as it allows the visitor to see the artwork without being too distracted.

This is why I've also avoided animations and paid for a domain rather than have bloody annoying pop-up spam

The reason for the previous answer is that my artwork has been stolen in the past and used as site decoration for a couple of sites - the worst case being a "warez" site which is a wholly unfair association.

Yes, the right mouse button (and image toolbar) have been disabled throughout this site in order to partially protect artwork. I always reply to email requests for higher res images of artwork however - I normally send via email attachment.

Maya, Lightwave and 3DSMax. .. Don't ask me which is the best of the 3 because they all are equally strong. Some users will tell you one is better than the other, but they're usually elitist types. Having worked with them all I found the only real difference is the price and workflow. To be honest; the skills you bring as an artist are far more important than the technical abilities of either of these packages.

- I found 3DSMax the easiest to learn, but then again I'd been using various 3D packages for years and 3DSMax was the most recent I started with. Experience with other packages just made the transition easier possibly.

I found "learning Maya 3.0" a god-send while I was first learning the package a couple of years ago.. At the moment I'd probably recommend "Maya 4.5 Fundamentals".

As for Learning Max. Pick up Gmax first. It's free and gives you the essential basics to learn the larger package. It's a cut down version of the full Max package of course, but as a beginner that's a good thing- you won't get lost or overwhelmed by the software.. This will definitely help you learn faster as a beginner.

Don't be silly. ..

There are so many things that dictate how long it takes to do an image that it's an impossible answer. Some people tend to think that modelling an image as opposed to painting is almost "cheating". It takes a heck of a lot longer to set up a modelled scene than painting from scratch however.

- a good painting normally takes about a week. a 3D image can take months of modelling and organising especially if done in your freetime.

Since updating my site to the new format the very old stuff had no real place.. It will come back later, but be very well hidden deep in the site. I'll make a note here when that's done.
