Description
Bassed on a painting in a book called "Spacecraft 2000 to 2100AD" by Stewart Cowley.
The book is presented in the style of a documentry as if all the ships are real, so whoever painted the image the artist isnt credited.
The icesteroid was the hardest part, and I'm still not happy with the result.

sheesh..I actually own that book too..ya mean someone else bought it?..;) Actually, it's not that bad..;) great work.
wow i actually own that book to....great rendition, now you need to do a rendition of the manta from page 28(not exploding preferably)....didn't they have another book out by the same artist(s)? cheers
Funny you should say that, as that was actually going to be my next project. Thats the only book of theres that I have.
Don't have the book, but it look like you sure did your best on the effects! Perhaps you could make the "stones" more different?
I believe the credit goes to Anthony Roberts, but I could be wrong. Nice rendition tho. I tried making the K13 Shark a long time ago... maybe I'll dust it off.
Thanks, I'd love to see it, even if its not finished.
Thanks for the info, I wonder if they credited the artists in any of the other books.
okise.. checked my copy of Spacecraft 2000-2100 and the artist was Angus Mckie. yup all the artists are credited in each book. just look along the spine area of each page....
Thanks, those artist credits are very small and in an unusual place!
nice tribute to the Terran Trade Authority spaceship art books
Thanks, its an inspiring book.
LOL...I also bought that book...and all the others of the series
Thanks, its always nice to get comments, even 8 months after I posted the picture!
