It was on December 1969 that i Dany Boucher was born in a nice but boring city situated in Quebec, Canada. Well, as long as i can remember, i spent the majority of my free time persuing my passion, that of science-fiction drawing.
Today, i still persue my dreams, however i also have a job. That of an aircraft mechanic. I work on CP140 Aurora (US version of the P3 Orion) as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces in Greenwood, Nova-Scotia.
During the years of 1989-1992, i was a marine enginering mechanic for the canadian navy. It was during this time that i had the opportunity to explore other interests, pertaining to scuba diving, amateur photography and building scale model cars. For the past fourteen years i have studied Tae Kwon Do and in the previous year i have discovered skydiving. As one may conclude, science-fiction is not only my only passion.
At five years of age i was drawing cars and planes. At twelve years of age i was drawing a bit of fantasy, a lot of science-fiction and the realistic like ships, planes and tanks. My inspiration comes from just about anything from Star Trek to the clouds in the sky.
I have never had any formal art education so i had to depend upon magazines and posters and other artists for inspiration. I always draw on 8.5"x11" printer sheets so i can get the maximum precision with small details and softer shades.
In 1999, for the first time, i started using 3D rendering softwares to create my scenes. And since then i have a really hard time to go back to my pencil! I mostly use Rhino; Bryce 4 and Photoshop.
I consider myself as a realistic dreamer who likes to have the extra details in my drawings.
Enjoy the journey into my universe!!
