Refueling on BBV-9by *Deepblu742

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Sci-Fi

Another 70's sci-fi inspired piece.

A brief stop among the basalt temples scattered around the barren flatland. The sparse topography makes an ideal spaceport for non-VTOL ships that require a large landing area.

Tidbits: The vehicles are rovers seen in 2009's MOON movie. The spaceliner/freighter is actually a heavily tweaked XB-70 Valkyrie, a prototype bomber of the US Air Force during the pre-ICBM cold war years. It's landing gears are from a B-1 bomber, elongated of course.

Very nice!!! The XB-70 looks larger than a normal XB-70.

Thanks! Just a bit eh? Had to upscale the blueprints for the rigors of interstellar space travel.

As a spaceship, I think it's better looking than the Millennium Falcon.

Right on! Makes me sad I'm not decent enough in 3d to do a mesh for others to enjoy.

Thanks, I'm inspired by his work as well. I'm wondering if I should pick up his only book Mass.

*TK769 Nov 15, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

If you love his work its a must book to have. I have a copy and the prints are lavish. By the way that link i sent you has prints and originals available.

Regards,

M

Really, think I should pick it up then. Thx, I'd really cherish an original or decent print of his but it's not in the budget right now, someday though.
