The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

JOELGLAINE
That's the ticket! Remember, though--this is supposed to be HEAVY METAL! The lady needs to be more revealed to be more accurate. Though Personally--I like your cover better. It has a better 'bite' to it. This is how a female warrior SHOULD be dressed, instead of mostly nude. Great job!

Have to agree with JOELGLAINE, if the heavy metal covers I remember are anything to go by, she's way too modest. Nice work.
Revelation-23
Yeah, the trend to HM covers tends to be scantily clad, well endowed women. But if I'm not mistaken, there are exceptions to the rule, and some of the covers were more like this. Or maybe I'm thinking of something else..

This is a very nicely done cover! Nice touch with the worn sides! I agree in regards that women warriors should look more like yours instead of being almost completely nude. Very nice work!

Wonderful. Takes me back to my days voraciously consuming Heavy Metal, and the French Metal Hurlant, Echo des Savannes, etc. Great. Sorry for the late (13 years) comment.
