Description
Emmulation of old Space Annual illustrations - set in motion by a 'virtual swipe file' of 'space bits' (downloads, sketches, cuttings, etc.) Vue primitives, a Moonship model, poser figures, and a mapped sphere - taken to photoshop. Thanks for looking.

Very good work. Well done. 5+
Nice use of shaders there. Like the sixties feel of the ships, and blue over orange is very striking. Little typo in the text, I think you meant to say 'domes' rather than 'dromes' Excellent
Really good! Always this wonderful scent of 50's!
The grandfather of space art "Chesley Bonestell " would be proud !
Wonderful work as always. It really brought back how crushed I was as a little girl when I found out that my book about living in a space station was not about real life. Nostalgia at its best.
excellent work!
Great work, I used to lvoe off this sort of thing when I was a kid!
Sweet render. Brings memories back. Nice job. :-)
Brilliant retro illustration
I just down loaded "Conquest of Space" a George Pal movie, from iTunes. The gods must be tiring to tell me something. Now I hate this term "POV". But I do believe that your POV hit the mark with this one. It has the look and feel of the 1950's. And as already stated Chesley Bonestell would be proud. I my be wrong but maybe the word is "drones".
thats just like the kind of stuff i would read as a kid
me too - utterly authentic !
SPACE 1959!!!! Exploring the cosmos with raw guts and pre-transistor electronics.... This is a terrific faux-Bonstell! I've been ransacking my collection to find the book that has his original image of the Mars expedition prepping their landing craft.....
great job, I spent lot of time reading such stuff....but a little bit later in 80's :)
Cool 50's style illustration, I had encyclopedias from this era. Nice work!
You bring back memories of The Exploration of Mars by Wernher Von Braun and the series of articles in Collier's magazine about how we were going to conquer space. Those were the days. Outstanding!!!
Exactly the kind of book I was crazy for as a boy, with Mars only, let´s say, one decade away. Well, those visions vanished witout a trace during the age of shareholder value.
Very nicely done, I agree the blue over orange is very effective, excellent piece. This reminds me more of a technical piece than a comic/annual.
Would have to agree with the statements above, Chesley would be proud!! Excellent piece of work!!! very cool! Cheers, David
Very retro! Nice colors and image.

Like all your images, this takes me back to my youth!
Just P E R F E C T !
