Description

I was thinking about when I first became interested in science fiction and science fantasy which took me back to my early years when I read Asimov's Foundation trilogy - then I remebered the first time I saw the work of Chris Foss on a book cover. This is my attempt. I think most of the models are from Daz but I'm not sure.

Nice work. Reminds me of the 60's pulp SF titles. The best stuff! :)

Thank you. Asimov and Foss left a huge impression on me. To see more of my artwork have a look at www.artiststephenholden.com.

The upper two-thirds of this render certainly could have been mistaken for a Chris Foss painting. Not sure about the cityscape below, though. (Which is NOT to say it's not good in its own right.) Foss certainly was a brilliant artist and I think this is an excellent emulation of his work!
