That is one heck of a drop there a long ladder I must say. Nice work on the terrain too.
seen a pic like this several years back; pretty much the same ship, but a LOT more engines (like it would matter..;) great work.
You done an excellent job of capturing Bonestell's style ! I feel like I just stepped back into the 50's, great tribute Luca ! ~Cheers~
I remember seeing Bonestell's work when I was a kid back in the 50's. This brings back a lot of memories.
I saw the articles in my local library. They were on microfilm and grainy, but they were great! Your tribute to Bonestell is very well done.
As always great work.
very very retrofuturistic... also so good !
I like! Very retro! I read a stroy, way back in grade-school, before they actual landed on the Moon. It had NASA shiping up a Lunar base in segments and hard impacting. Had kind of a "Army Corp." feel to it.
You've really captured Bonstell's stark simplicity and use of primaries. An excellent homage.
Bonestell set the pattern for modern now day sci-fi , by the way excellent job here!
A great tribute to the grand master of speculative spaceship artists!
