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.

Im digging this one big time can you tell us a little bout the creative process used in this one? Bravo! to you for this outstanding work of art

@ Steeleyes101 - The answer is: some tens of layers of textures and old writings superimposed in Photoshop with different transparency and different methods of superimposing (such as "overlay", "color" and so on) with a process of olistic trials and errors, until the picture looks fine to me... :)

Cool! Great Mythos image. Can't remember if the Book of Eibon came from Clark Ashton Smith or Robert E. Howard. Smith, I think.
