Description
I'm running out of ideas for the covers, folks :(
Anyway, here we have a spaceman in free float (to use a Fireball XL5 term) with a spacewheel behind him.
Duo created the wheel, while the astro came from 3DXtras. I had to make a new model in UVMapper so I could have his helmet as a separate material zone!
Hope you like it... next, more Crudworthy!

I do like this dramatic view. This is "classic SF" at it's best!
Fantastic POV on this, I like it. That's a lot of fabulous covers you have done, no wonder you're running out of ideas!
Xcellent presentation! Stunning colors!
what a curmudgeon...;) great work, got the period effect going on here...keep 'em coming..
Another brilliant look at the past looking into the future my friend
Excellent, classic well done...
Ah yes, the first issue with the "Man in Space" editorials by Professor Questor. It was because of the good Professor and his "man has no business in space" stance plus no Crudworthy stories, that I let my subscription to Space Science Digest lapse. I guess that I wasn't the only one to not subscribe as, within three months, Professor Quartermass wrote a wonderful article that refuted Professor Questors editorials. Space Science Digest really hit it's zenith in the 60's with photos of the first year of the Mars Station. Just trying to "prime the pump" as I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for renders :)
Thanks John Consider my muse well and truly fuelled. We'll hit the 60s!
