1975 Boris Vallejo cover to William Tenn’s "Of Men and Monsters"
A scantily clad man with a spear stands besides a nude, prone woman who is being picked up by a long tentacle arm coming from a giant preying mantis-like monster towering above them.

Kabukitrek by Masao Okazaki
On his DeviantArt page, Masao Okazaki writes: "Another work done for a fan art contest on Trek BBS (I won). This time we were asked to draw Trek in the style of another artist. I chose Sharaku, the mysterious wood-block artist. This was draw in Freehand with a little finishing in a pixel editor." (2012) https://www.deviantart.com/masazaki/art/Kabukitrek-277875495

MONUMENT (1992)

Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32" x 20"



After Isaac Asimov passed away in 1992, I was asked to provide cover art for a posthumous tribute in "Asimov's Science Fiction" magazine. 1/4
A shiny robot sits upon a stack of books. The ground beneath is rendered like the metal covered surface of the planet Trantor. Wearing a white cloak with hood up, the robot casually drapes one arm over a bent knee. In the other hand, it holds a bowl with a flicker of flame extending off it. Behind the robot stands Isaac Asimov with iconic mutton chops and glasses smiling for the audience. A mechanical keyboard is propped at his side. An inverted glass pyramid floats next to him. A spiral galaxy unwinds at an angle in the background sky. Notably that sky contains not just the dots of stars but the tiny swirls of other galaxies. Low in the sky, the corona of a star in total eclipse flares.

On 13 February 1990, from a distance of 6.4 billion km, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft turned around and photographed our homeworld.

About halfway up on the right side is a tiny speck of light, about one pixel across.

"That's home. That's us.

A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

—Carl Sagan
A shot of deep space, streaked by stray light beams inside the camera. In the middle of the right-hand sunbeam is a pale blue dot.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

The artwork of #OutRun by Akira Watanabe used on the cover of the #SegaGenesis/#MegaDrive, #SegaGameGear, #SegaMarkIII, #MSX2, and #NEC #PCEngine releases. Still a bit cropped on the right side. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.
OutRun clean artwork by Akira Watanabe used on the cover of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Sega Mark III, MSX2, and NEC PC Engine releases. Image depicts the iconic red Ferrari Testarossa speeding up along the road leaving trails of smoke from the exhaust pipes and tires. There's a guy driving with a blonde woman on the passenger seat. Further ahead there's a blue Porsche and a VW Beetle on the right side. A beach can be seen on the left side while a mountain range stand on the right, extending into the horizon. There are also palms trees on both sides of the winding road.

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends.

This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.
