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.

Well I hope Chris likes all the tribs being made lately. This one I love! Certainly has the Foss feel to it. I used to love all those sci-fi paperbacks with his stuff on them.
kelvinhughes
most excellent and fitting tribute well done

Definatly one of the closest I have seen to Chris's type of work. Particularly the orange background.

Love the clean look and vivid color here. You could do paperbacks yourself! (now where'd I put that typewriter) Good Job!!

As a major Chris Foss fan myself, I have to say that you really captured his style. This would seamlessly blend into one of his own galleries. Keep up the good work!
zorzim
Yes , right, you really captured his style this time. Everything, from background to the airbrushed style of the smoketrails. Hope to see more of Foss style anyway, those two ships are fantastic
lordgoron
Wow, most excellent modelling, the ships look awsome cool.
Druidstorm
Such crisp and beautiful detail upon your crafts. Outstanding work!!!...:))
garryts
Yep - agree with all of the other comments here... Excellent work, particularly in how you have captured the look and feel of Chris' work
wingnut55
i agree with Svarg - clean and vivid !
MarkHirst
The colours and those engine flares are very Foss-esque, well done.

Spot on! great textures on the ships.
dcmstarships
The texturing gives these ships a real Chris Foss' feel, especially on the big spheres of the larger vessel.

Excellent image, you captured the style well.
