My favourute old scifi painter from '80 is Chris Foss.
This is a remake one of his paints.

There goes endi, using his pollen method again…you really have to tell us how you got that fine grained dust.
About the image itself, is it really Blender? It looks so…original 
Somehow reminds me of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Keep it up. Can you make a harvester? 
Oooo… :o
lovely. I’ve always liked that artist!

I write a small “make of” message in my “back of a building” topic. I use same methods on this picture.

I think, Chris Foss one of the best scifi painter. Please read his bio, and look the dates!!!
oh ya … nice work …
I am still struggling to make something, but still not able to achieve my goal. I can see in this image somethign that I really want to learn. In fact, more than one thing!!!
keep it up!
Very, very nice. Only some of details of the hull could be modelled, not made just using a plain texture.
Endre, That’s so good, I knew the guy without knowing his name. Anyway, your work is on par, beyond doubt.

Ooooh… how pretty., exspecially the sand effect is awesome.
:o :o
very nicly done picture (can’t say i recognize the painter, but thats all changing)
my only question is how did you do the fine dust in the picture?

Great 
Nice Picture, i had a Chris Foss book given to me in the Eighties,
Great Stuff, who was that famous English Sci-Fi artist who used to be in the RAF ? he was even better.
Wow, that is just a beautiful peice of rendering you did there endi!!! I’ve also been seeing some other really cool art work comming from your direction, keep it up man you’re really good!!!

Blend on, and blend well!!!
A damned good job, IMHO!

That must be Jim Burns. He paints more organic (rounded spaceships) while Chris Foss follows the hard (space opera) way of painting machines.
