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 was thinking Chesley Bonestell. Shades of the 1950s! Really wild retro space scene. You did good!
Biffowitz

Really sharp looking modeling work, this definitely looks like something out of the old pulp scifi magazines. Excellent work!

You've captured the "Ministry of Space" (a fabulously written and illustrated graphic novel) style perfectly!! This image also reminds me of the work of Chesley Bonestell and the great sci-fi cover artists of the 40's, 50's and 60's. This is a marvelous render and my new favorite of your images so far this year. BRAVO!!!

The lighting in this is great,as is the modelling!My only crit would be that the planet texture seems a little pixellated,but that's only a very minor crit...excellent work as usual!!

I grew up with visions of this flooding my imagination... real rockets, real spaceflight, real adventure....classic reminder of visions long forgotten...

They don't make 'em like they used to ... WRONG! This is great, agree with the others with the comparison to Bonestell. Would be fantastic to see it descending towards some of those jagged-edge lunar mountains (that don't actually exist, but who cares)
corleonis
I have to agree with the others, you captured the retro style here perfectly - a big thumbs up from me!
