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.

This is great, but in the movie didn't the ship had an orangish glow to it before the debris field hit it. Btw where is the probe ship?

Wow this pictures sure brings back some memories of when I watched the movie as a kid. Great Job.

That was, and courtesy of your work is, a fantastic ship. Unique, eye-cathing, and compelling. I always loved the Cygnus.

I love this picture - don't necessarily agree wth your assessment of the film having been a "not so good" movie, but that's a matter of taste and I wouldn't presume to argue the point. Either way you've done a marvelous job here and I'd like to see similar pics from other such films.

Great pic! I always thought the Cygnus looked like the Eiffel tower. It was the best thing (besides B.O.B.) about the movie, which was total BS in the area of black holes---but then again, S. Hawking admitted to having been wrong about them too. Go figure....

wonderful tribute to an unique starship design! :-) the logo is a nice touch.

Very nice picture - though I too recall it having a tint to the light, not white. Small point though. And it wasn't duo's assesment of the movie - he was just reporting was critics at the time felt, which I remember - and I didn't agree with the critics then either. I liked the movie - it wasn't superb, but it was good - though I was only 14 then.

I recall seeing the movie a long time ago and thought it was cool. Nice work.
