I occasionally go sailing out of Long Beach harbor, and I'm facinated by the shipyard itself. Long Beach/Los Angeles harbor is the world's largest shipyard. Gigantic tanker vessels, container ships and luxury cruise liners dwarf the sailboats and waverunners that scurry around them as they all compete for space in this immense industrial mecha-city.

I studied Maya, but I never mastered it. It takes too much time to do simple models, so I build my images from simple line art instead. The thick details are primarily custom brushes made in photoshop which allow me to paint layer and layer of details.
