Description

The Sands of Mars is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was published in 1951, before humans had achieved space flight. The story is set principally on the planet Mars, which has been settled by humans and is used essentially as a research establishment. It has been surveyed but not fully explored on the ground. This artwork is my vision of the Clarke's novel. Made with Bryce 4 and postproduced in Photoshop. The spaceship is from my "Spaceforce 1" mesh collection. You can find it in my Renderosity shop.

Wonderful interpretation of Clarkes publication. I think this still holds the test of time, I had to smile when I first opened up. I would like to see another version with a lot of atmospherics going on, poss a sand storm, I think that would heighten the mood. Sweet render for sure!!

Great interpretation of a great book. I have to agree with the classic stamp on this image. An image of a future that never was, and should have been. Good work!
