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.

Looks pretty cool I don't recall seeing the film.

Wonderful work! One of the things unique to that film was how fast everything moved in relation to the camera's point of view (most films stick with the spaceship and thus make it appear motionless). Now I can finally appreciate the MGP-1 design!

I saw this movie on a B&W TV, I remember some scenes, they extract oxygen from stones ! But I don't remember the ship, too old for my poor memory... nice model anyway

Gad..I've seen this probably about 14 times..;) just kept showing up on late-night TV a lot (actually, I first saw this as a kid in a drive-in theatre in El Paso..as the theatrical release..;) dang, now I want to model the equipment kits..;) I think Adam West dies fairly early in the movie, unless he was the sole survivor.. "A voice from Mars!"..;) great work on the modeling and texturing..now where's that monkey?..;)

Great render and thanks for re creating one of my favorite movies. I saw the movie as a kid and have seen it a bunch of times since. I still thinks that it is a great movie....

Truly excellent Duo, A fine dedication to a movie all us sci-fi buffs hold dearly to the heart , it's a shame its on at 3:00 in the morning when ever it is being shown.

Jeez but I was glad to ger rid of the so-and-so. Always moaning about not having enough O2, or having no food. And them aliens were just as bad. Still, it's quieter now; I only have to clear up after those stupid landers those Earthies keep pelting me with. Great render, great model, nice pic of my home planet.5

Excellent work!!

very nice! wonderful tribute to the early 1960's movie. any chance that you will do the ships from the SF movie "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun?"
Quidnunc
You have clearly plucked the heartstrings of a few hardened scifi enthusiasts, me amongst them. It was about the only reasonably realistic bit of sci-fi film of its time. Excellent tribute.

Wow, now this is a real blast from the past. I used to pretend I was Paul Mantee'e character from the movie in the undeveloped area of my neighborhood when I was a kid.
