... more of my crusade to bring back romance and emotion to aerospace illustration!
... Aerospace, Defense and Science; illustration work of JamesVaughan.
.... ooo! rocketships!
... I really despise the soulless CAD illustrations which are in current use by scientific publications and aerospace corporations. As a kid I vividly remember being inspired by the wonderful lush paintings of such illustrators as Robert McCall. The above is from a NASA CAD which I extensively reworked in Photoshop and Corel Painter.
... BEST VIEW = right click - open in new window or tab
... Solar Farm
... this is one of the first projects where I worked entirely from stock and constructed images. The aerial view is actually built from a Google Earth image!
... USS Akron - 1931 - encyclopdedia
... as a child I really loved, and was heavily influenced, by all of the wonderful illustrated
history and science books.
... Einstein - EVA
... back in the day every kid knew that EVA stood for "Extra-Vehicular Activity". Here's Albert all suited up and ready to take a stroll in outer-space.
"How ya doin' Al?"
"Yah- vat? Oh- yah very goot!"
... I think we need a little '2001' soundtrack here.
... Einstein - NASA portrait.
... finally am happy with the skin color on this. Nothing harder than converting a black and white image into believable, contemporary, color! (then modifying it for the over-saturation of the Internet)
