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.

I have to hand it to you. This is a great concept and render. Although I'm not familiar with the model, I'm a big fan classic sci-fi and model making. I'm most impressed...

EXCELLENT as always. I have this kit in my un-made kit store room waiting to be built - one day.

Duo, this is one of my all time favorite models. I never had the chance to build it. I always wanted to. I like your render of it. Another fact not noted, the model was designed by Matt Jeffreries. The designer of the starship Enterprise. Preeder how much do you want to sell your model for?

I had the original AMT kit of it, with the short story folder and the chrome accents. It was one of those kit I felt no need whatsoever to paint (thank Ghu, as I was a lousy kit painter!). I was surprised to discover a decade later that Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were fans of the ship and gabve it a straaing role as the starship MacArthur in their novel THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE. Here's a website that seems the most complete for info on the kit, the fictional ship, and later incarnations-- http://www.projectrho.com/SSC/index.html

I had this model hanging from fishing line in a corner of my room when I was a kid! I used to love watching it glow in the dark at bed time. It was right near my Farrah Faucett and velvet neon Bruce Lee posters. You've got to tell me where I can get this model, please!

Love that ship. Got the re-released kit on order from Round 2 models. Like what you've done with the 60s-style backdrop!
