Some of my computer art from the olden days (dial-up warning)

This one was created while I was playing around in 3dsmax. Never seen before, afaik.



Same with this one. Just experimenting.



Also this one.



This one was created within a landscape generator called Terragen. The lighthouse was a 3dsmax model I found for free online. I always thought this one was rather peaceful.



More Terragen. I added the second sun in Photoshop. I chose the sky color pretty much at random, just not wanting it to look like it was Earth.



I call this one "Zen Moment". It was a Poser rendering. No real purpose in mind when I created it. Notice how even though the center of the pic is the ear, you're still drawn to the face instead.

These are all wonderful! You have such a creative spirit...

I always want to see what you've come up with, be it now or in the past.

I'll never see fame or fortune from any of it, but that was never my goal anyway.

But, they are hardly what I would refer to as "small efforts at creativity". If you enjoy what you are doing that it is all that matters. When others appreciate your work it's a nice bonus. Fame and Fortune is highly over-rated and quite often unjustified if you look at various artists who have been financially successful.

Thanks for sharing these.

Somewhere I have some prints of some 3D forms I created on a Silicon Graphics mainframe in Fall of 1983.

That's pretty old.

Your stuff is sweet!

You are quite the talent!

I like the lighthouse and the mountains, but the others are quite intriguing, too.

I've taught Photoshop, so I know what goes into something like this.
