Description
The design of "Factory Starship" is based on an illustration done by space artist Chris Foss as pre-production art for the science fiction/horror movie "Alien." The illustration by Foss can be seen in "The Book of Alien," published in 1979 by Heavy Metal Communications. "Factory Starship" was modeled and rendered using TrueSpace 6.6. I created the custom yellow and black hull textures using Corel Draw 12. The background for the nebula image come from a Hubble Space Telescope website. The running lights and engine exhaust were added using Universe Images Creator 1.63. Chris Foss is one of my favorite space artists / speculative spaceship design heroes.

I have a similar book, "Spaceships 2000-2100", dated now, but this was the style..think you got it just right..;)
That is a great one , the best i have seen you do very realistic
Excellent! You have captured the Chris Foss look very well.
Dave, a much more complicated ship, perhaps some windows. Very nice
Fantastic artwork and tribute David!!!!!
amazing picture !!! .. bravo dcmstarships
Very nice ship, David! It looks great with that background, too.
Freaken COOL!! Love the colors in this view of the Foss. I like how you include a view of your ships in "real" settings along with the engineering drawings and detail images. Nifty ideas and series!
