I am an artist in the Uncanny Valley. Visual and sound engineering. The images in my gallery at present are of my 3D modeled avatar (The Metropolis Spider) that I created way back in 2009 in this version (I have been making animated avatars like this in Second Life since 2005).

 

The spiders in my gallery, are not video game characters, though they are fully interactive and animated. These are all carefully created with their own formula and method in Blender using Mesh and Second Life assets for Sculptys, including textures and materials to give the most impactful results in their virtual environment.This is all put together in Second Life for use as an Avatar (or representation of myself).

 

My photography style is very random and not a static posed set. I depend on frame shots for the majority of my work, whether it's my Avatar moving in time with the animation overrider, or panning and angling the camera to hit specific light detail depending on graphics at that time too. Different angle and lighting make for dramatic effects. I do not use photo-studios (Box like rooms in which the avatar is posed in a scripted static routine for pictures with an image (2D) in the background. Instead I try to utilize the whole engine (or world) with it's many builds and created locations and sky and lighting options that span forever in some of the many places in Second Life.

 

I also utilize other 3D modeling platforms and engines. I also create AI themed artworks from my imagination.
