Distant view of a Moon Lander approaching a large crater.

I promised elsewhere I'd try an image with a small subject instead of filling the frame with moy model.

This is the result!

How it began and how it ended, variations of a theme. I'm very pleased with how these turned out. Pretty much all #Lightwave3d with a little colur tweaking in Photoshop. #ScifiArt

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Harper Goff's Nautilus design

My interest in Submarines started with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Harper Goff's Nautilus design.

Commander William R. Anderson

On August 3, 1958, the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, became the first vessel to reach the North Pole by travelling beneath the Arctic ice cap.

Watching/reading Ice Station Zebra set me up to read this again

Molten exoplanet surrounded by rocky debris. Digital illustration

Speculative illustration depicting life on an alien world with two suns.

Digital illustration of an icy exoplanet fragmenting under the UV flux from its star.

Illustrations done for press releases over the years. Sadly I get these commissions less and less often as AI takes over the world. I worry about my future in this industry. 😟

ICE STATION ZEBRA movie poster Rock Hudson Ernest Borgnine Patrick McGoohan Jim Brown

The visual effect of the fictional nuclear-powered submarine Tigerfish (SSN-509) underwater scenes used a model of a Skate-class nuclear submarine.

Reading ICE STATION ZEBRA by Alistair MacLean
I also enjoyed the film. I enjoyed it a lot. Casting was good & I really enjoyed Patrick McGoohan, who dominated the screen.

The under-ice visuals were very good, while the aircraft visuals were iffy at best.
