My real name is Andrä Martyna, on the Web known as Alihahd, and I'm born 1958. I live with my family in the beautiful City Hameln. Since 1999 I am working with 3D graphics. I am using mainly the programs Poser, Bryce, Vue Infinite, Photoshop, Painter, Mojoworld, Carrara, Hexagon, Zbrush and Maxon Cinema 4D. It started in the beginning as a hobby, but soon it was more.

I was very surprised when the publisher "TASCHEN" 2001 came up to me and wanted to publish pictures of me in the book "Digital Beauties". Seven images are seen from me in this book. Then, followed by "Art of the Female Form" at "Aristata Publishing", and "Best of Digital Graphics" at "Rockport Publishing. Both in the U.S.. Then came the Chinese publishing house "Zito Books" up at me, and released 5 pictures in the artbook "Virtual Beauties". Meanwhile, a whole range of other publications have been added. In 2007 I had my first public exhibition.

Today I work as a cover designer and illustrator for several publishers in Germany. For the literature portal "LITERRA" I finished graphics for article, short stories, series and book excerpts. As an author I am working too. In two novels of the SciFi series "Titan" I worked as an co-author. One of my short stories appeared in the magazine "Terracom" and the anthology "On the fire of the past" from VSS Publishing. Currently I work on the anthology "devil's advocate" by Alisha Bionda as a cover graphic designer, illustrator and author.

That should be enough at this point. Take a look to my pictures in the galleries. I hope you will like it.
