I don't watch TV and movies but I do know the For All Mankind show exists and is an alternate history.Alexei Leonov on the moon, the starting point of For All Mankind
Think of the consequences of the Soviet Union winning the space race. Humanity would associate the terms communism and high technology. The Vietnam War would not have been necessary to balance the loss of prestige. It would not have been necessary to create the environmental movement, to downplay the importance of Western technological superiority. The Israeli air force would continue to use Mirages.Manchu again. Alexei Leonov on the moon, the starting point of For All Mankind.
And speaking of backstory,A pair of covers with an interesting backstory, in 1980/81 Analog Magazine ran a four part serial entitled 'Shuttle Down' by G. Harry Stein (Pen name: Lee Correy)
This is cover for french Alternate History comic series called Jour-JManchu again. Alexei Leonov on the moon, the starting point of For All Mankind.
he makes cover for Books or Comics and Illustration for magazinesA Martian base by Manchu. I'm not aware of the book it appeared on or in, if any.
Cool. I'm guessing the 'W' looking thing is their national insignia, maybe a unit marking, but I'd wager a national insignia.like Il était une fois… l'Espace (Once Upon a Time... Space) the animate tv series from 1983

Interestingly, the gun carried by the alien appears to be the same design as used by the 'Bushman' mecha from the 'Dougram' anime (attached image is a photo of a model . . .).The cover by Duane O. Meyer's for 'Alien Rites' (1995) by Lynn S. Hightower, the last in a four book science fiction police procedural series that was I suspect partly inspired by the 1988 film 'Alien Nation'...
The W is logo of militaristic and fascist confédération of Cassiopée, situated in constellation Cassiopeia, who resemble a WCool. I'm guessing the 'W' looking thing is their national insignia, maybe a unit marking, but I'd wager a national insignia.
Like I mention they are militaristic and fascist, so they paint their ship like this, to make them more menacing...I prefer my futuristic spacecraft designs without shark-mouths or painted on animal faces...
my version of Perry Rhodan cover for Issue 489Self done cover for some of my fan fiction based on the sci-fi game Traveller
Could you please point out which elements qualify this as a science fiction illustration? Adding e.g. an FTL ship in the background might help.Self done cover for some of my fan fiction based on the sci-fi game Traveller

They didn't have Gandalf to provide tactical advice.Why are they shooting at the metal bits and not the unprotected flesh?
Because the needs of the artist outweigh the needs of the astronauts.Why are they shooting at the metal bits and not the unprotected flesh?
Astronauts obviously need more combat training courses.
When did the Nazis invent a laser version of the MP 40 that middle person is holding...? Because, that is one secret weapon I didn't know about!Heres one from a series of polish-german graphic novels,The Gods from Outer Space,published back in the late 70s-early 80s.These were based on erich von danikens Chariots of the Gods "theories".
If those aren't X-Wing fuselages nothing is.The Vincent DiFate cover art on the February 1978 issue of Analog Magazine
Well, there's nothing quite like Hayao Miyazaki for sci-fi mixed with retro art...Machu again, for William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's The Difference Engine.
Now that is cool!And, not to be outdone, someone actually recreated that glider-jet for real...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...If those aren't X-Wing fuselages nothing is.

Well 'Star Wars' had only come out the year before and that film had quite the cultural impact and a wide cultural shadow...Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
