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.

Ya know, if they're going to build a helmet that limits vision like that, you'd think they'd include some kind of rear view device. 'cuz this guy could sure use one right now....

a bit Starship Troopers-like, the book, not the movie. Great suit and I like the light wrap you've given the bugs.

Superb image (as always) and I think it is EXCELLENT that you have used this as your avatar.
Denger
The slight touch of uneasiness in this explorer's pose and expression (and the total absence of a Volkswagen-sized blaster) lend this image a healthy dose of realism. Ditto Spain on the avatar! FIVE STARS.
