Description
The Sands of Mars is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was published in 1951, before humans had achieved space flight. The story is set principally on the planet Mars, which has been settled by humans and is used essentially as a research establishment. It has been surveyed but not fully explored on the ground.
This artwork is my vision of the Clarke's novel.
Made with Bryce 4 and postproduced in Photoshop.
The spaceship is from my "Spaceforce 1" mesh collection. You can find it in my Renderosity shop.

his one really looks like a book cover! Great image!
Xcellent Sci-Fi composition! Interesting conceptual design work!
Nice work...excellent modeling and colour scheme...love the POV!
Very sci-fi, yet realistic scene. Wonderful modeling, composition and beautiful colors.
Wonderful interpretation of Clarkes publication. I think this still holds the test of time, I had to smile when I first opened up. I would like to see another version with a lot of atmospherics going on, poss a sand storm, I think that would heighten the mood. Sweet render for sure!!
I love classic scifi images like this.... the spheres made of glass and metal structur are a wonderful classic detail !
The atmosphere and background terrains are superb in this image & the foreground buildings & dome are perfect. Nice work!
Great interpretation of a great book. I have to agree with the classic stamp on this image. An image of a future that never was, and should have been. Good work!
Very nice work! Looks great.
Wonderful composition - it could easily be a book cover!
Excellent work. Reminds me of Foss spaceship illustations.
great looking ship
Great lighting.
