Wouldn't it be easier just to draw it?

As a sideline to my dubious web development career I am also an amatur 3D rendering artist...very amatur. I have included some of my more notable attempts below. Simply click on the thumbnail to bring up a larger image.

Most of this comes to you via a pretty snazy piece of rendering software called Lightwave 3D. Having pretty much become a cringing alcoyte at the alter of it's coolness, I have included a link to its website. Come, visit, join the glory of Landru.

Needless to say, all images are copyrighted, use them without my permission and I and the entire American Legal System will devise long and exquisite tortures for you.

OK, so sometimes I do just draw it

I play an RPG called Amber; which, without giving you a lot of back story which I am sure would fascinate you to a state of petrified despair, involves a game mechanic using character portraits in the form of "Trumps". I have drawn literally hundreds of these over the years, but I've included some of the better ones below. Click on the thumbnail for a larger version.

(Of course better in this case is relative to that horse that finger paints using it's hooves, but I take my small superiority complexes where I can get them.)
