Description
Somewhere in ocean shallows, a sea turtle swims among underwater rocks. Seaweed and urchins cover the rocky walls of the aquatic seascape, while bubbles rise to the surface from the deep. Meanwhile, rays of sunlight cut through the water, broken by the rippling surface of the sea above. The ancient sea creature swim slowly and majestically towards the viewer through the blue undersea world.
This is the third in my series featuring sea turtles. All three can be found in my Aquatic Life gallery: http://daniel-eskridge.artistwebsites.com/art/all/aquatic+life/all .
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images., It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space., After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

Love this, Daniel! I am in awe of your technical know-how (in addition to your artistic eye) in producing such beaitiful images with a computer! Good for you for doing your art AND holding down a fulltime job! I had to retire before I had the time and energy to pursue mine. L
