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.

Excellent work, I'd love to see your take on other Hugo awarded books like 'Downbelow Station' or 'Rendezvous with Rama'

Great cover art, funny enough I've got that suit along with all the others from that range. Never used them though.

fantastic series!!

I loved that book! It was a strong influence on me as a young man. This cover certainly does the book justice. I think Bob Heinlein would be impressed. Bravo!

Fantastic work. A book cover like that would definitely peak my interest.

A good book, but I prefer "Starship Troopers". I'm surprised to see someone still working with M3, other than as a lo-res background figure. Very nice picture. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful setup here and an awesome background! My only real criticism is the suit itself. Heinlein's text describes the centerpiece suit as having distinctive headlights and directional antennae sprouting from its crown. While not entirely necessary in a cover(artistic license), it would be nice to have the outside imagery match the inside text.
