As mentioned, very nice illustration in the tradition of Foss, who happen to be my big inspiration aswell (and Peter Elson and Angus Mckie for that matter).

Foss's work has always been a huge source of inspiration for me Mikael, and hopefully this
shows in my current 3D fractal work?! 
Elson and McKie are extremely influential too, as are Peter Jones, Tony Masters and Jim Burns.
Thanks for commenting mate!

I can see you copy the style of a very famous Sci-Fi artist. Great work.

Thanks! You got it - I've been an admirer of Chris Foss's work since I first read E.E.'Doc' Smith's 'Lensman' series back in the '70's - when SF artworks were actually paintings in the real sense of the word!
