Hi Murph
Sorry not popped in for a while, been updating my site and doing VERY big renders for the project, sand has proved to be a tiresome bugger to get right!! As with the lighting for desert environments. Think I've downloaded half the desert images off the web for reference!!
Your pic is cool man, I had to check the zip file, dont do rar ones Im afraid. Maybe bend the Sharkodile a bit at the neck upwards, posewise, so it will look like its homing in on its prey.

You get my vote anyway!!

will let you know once updated site is up, should be the next couple of days.....

Hey Murph

Sounds cool.

Would you mind sending a couple of sandstorm and lighting images? Appreciate that if you could.

@ Murph - it's been bugging me for ages and i still can't think who it is or what he's from, so who's the guy in your aviator as it's driving me mad?

Hey smurf! (heh heh I just couldn't help myself)
For some reason I thought you were in the "norm" category not the "noobie" You're all class buddy! Like the model and the scene.
ckyuk - Dude! One thing I have learnt in the little time I have been doing this is that most of us need more sleep ha ha! Totally obsessed!!! - Damn circus midgets! - Blah! Loosing it!

my thanks - for your kind words T3logy.

May I enquire, your grasp of the english language is rather "English", are you english or just very literate. I only ask becasue beneath your avitar, it used to say USA. (now oceanside)

again, thanks.

Thank you. I speak and am Tsatsilagi, Indigenous/Native American. I live on an Indian Reservation and didn't think anyone would know what/where it is, so I chose the largest "city" near us. Oceanside is in Southern California, USA. Noticed most of you indicate city, not state or country, so I switched to be consistent with the group.
