              Thanks, Oliver. Really appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I don't know when I will have time to finish it. I have lots of WIP that I need to work on, too. Since I have so many images to post, I have been trying not to post huge images so that my Photobucket account won't explode. πŸ˜‰

              Thanks for you comment, Karl. I have another WIP of a hangar for my spaceships. I will post it soon.

              Here some old Sketchup conceptual models for the game Defiance (http://www.defiance.com/en/) that I worked on in late 2009 to mid 2010.

              I did not do the Photoshop background painting. It was done by another in-house concept artist.

                    Hi Jason,

                    Just ask me your question(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am always busy, and it might take days, but you will get a reply.

                    Take care.

                      That sci-fi/steampunk submarine I did before needed a hangar.

                      So here it is. A WIP, it has been over 4 months and I still have not had the time to go back to it, but I will finish it someday.

                                Thanks, Oli. Actually you won't see these models. There were done back in 2009. They got some new designers and a new Art Director on board the next year, and they changed most of everything based on the new directions. I was back to working on Rift at that time.

                                Here's another personal project in my series of Sci-Fi interiors.

                                Skp + VrayFS + Photoshop

                                Have a good day!

                                  Hi there,

                                  More stuff from the game Defiance. They were done a while ago back in 2009.

                                  Have a great day!

                                        Thank you for your compliments, Andy. Yes, I know Sparth's concepts. Very inspiring.

                                        Here are some more conceptual models of alien stuff from Defiance game.
