Description
This is a commissioned artwork for a book cover.
The book "L'Anno 3000" (The Year 3000) by Paolo Mantegazza was published in 1897 and was the first science fiction novel ever published in Italy.
I've put the entire book cover, because I've made the artwork and the graphic layout too.
Al rendered in Poser 7, sky in Bryce and color correction in Photoshop.
The original file is 2567x3636

Sweet render my friend, you've captured that retro look perfectly!

Ah, the good old days of science fiction. Granted, L'Anno 3000 is older than most of the science fiction I've read - and to be honest, I don't recall ever having read it (has it been translated?). Modern science fiction has a lot to offer, but there's just something about the old stuff that's hard to describe.

Very cool; it reminds me of Flash Gordon and Futurama. I love the retro-future and this is a very well made image :)

The Steam-punk building and retro ships fit well together, I guess this would have been seen as very modern back in the 1800's ! Kool book cover art ! ~Cheers~

Great retro style space ships. Very well done.

Very nice! Reminds me of some of the early 20th century depictions of the year 2000 and makes me wonder how off base our renders of the coming centuries will be...

Very sharp work. Good looking picture!

I like how A.D. 3000 looks more like A.D. 1950... Keep up the outstanding work!

Very nice retro sci-fi looking piece. (Even though "retro" would be before 3000. ) :)

A nice and "retro" scene. Interesting point of view. In any case a wonderful job.

Gorgeous retro style..very much in the vein of the old Flash Gordon serials. Beautiful work!
