Digital Sci-Fi Art

Description

Visions of future worlds have always exercised a powerful fascination. From the pulp artists of the 1930s, through the airbrush artists of the 1970s and 1980s, to today's CGI animators, science fiction has always provided the artist with a blank canvas on which their imagination could run wild. Today, as more artists enter the digital arena, these alien vistas, towering cityscapes, vast spacecraft and strange lifeforms are becoming breathtakingly realistic.
