Description
As illustrator usually I creates artworks for book covers or magazines on demand - as you can see on my website - but I long toyed with the idea to create illustrations of classic science fiction novels to put on the royalty free market, as usual for my spare production.
Here's the cover (the twelfth of my "classic sci-fi series" - take a look to the other ones in my Renderosity galley) of "Starship Troopers", by Robert A. Heinlein, first published in 1959.
This time I've add also the book title layout to the image because it give more the feeling of a published book cover art.
Rendered in Poser 7, postwork with Photoshop 7 and Dynamic-Photo HDR.
The original file is 2000x3014 pixels.

Excellent work. Heinlein is one of my favourite Sci-Fi authors. You've captured the feel of the original book covers here. Spot on!

Another of my favorite books by one of my favorite sf authors! The book was so much better than the movies, and this cover really does that book justice. Excellent work, Luca. I can see why you are a pro. Bravo!

Heinlein took all kinds of flak for this story. Wish I could have met the man, 'cause I love this book. Thank you for sharing.

"There are a dozen different ways of delivering destruction in impersonal wholesale, via ships or missiles of one sort or another, catastrophes so widespread, so unselective that the war is over because that nation or planet has ceased to exist. What we do is entirely different. We make war as personal as a punch in the nose. We can be selective, applying precisely the required amount of pressure at the specified point at a designated time. We've never been told to go down and kill or capture all left-handed redheads in a particular area, but if they tell us to, we can. We will. "We are the boys who will go to a particular place, at H-hour, occupy a designated terrain, stand on it, dig the enemy out of their holes, force them then and there to surrender or die. We're the bloody Infantry, the Doughboy, the Duckfoot, the Foot Soldier who goes where the enemy is and takes them on in person. We've been doing it, with changes in weapons but very little change in our trade, at least since the time five thousand years ago when the Foot Sloggers of Sargon the Great forced the Sumerians to cry "Uncle". . .!"
