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.

Marvelous! I've toyed with the idea of doing book covers--not real one's mind you--and so this image really strikes a chord with me. And on top of it all, I've read the novel and I rather like this treatment of its "look." Marvelous work!

great image setup real pitty about the bad texturing of the helmet, the texture is warped etc etc.. looks like its has no UV just texture zones..

Its a joy to see, I dunno if u were aware of it , but to me the character outfit seems a '70s props, this fits perfectly with the time the novel went out. BRAVO

One of my all time favorite novels. Nice rendering of the cover. Haldeman's other work is great as well.
