Tumblr favorite #992: Tube guy, tube girl, and space man

“Okay, so for our cover this month we need a blonde in a slinky gown, a space hero with a ray gun, lots of scientific-looking stuff, two naked people in tubes, and lots of planets in the background indicating an outer space setting. Oh, and don’t forget to leave room on the cover for us to plug our material. Do you think you can pull that off for us, Wallace?”

Of course he could. He was fucking Wally Wood, man. Original post here.

S T A R __ R E P U B L I C by =DeeJay-Alien  It’s about retrofuturistic republic, kinda USSR in 2112…)))
But not so much about this republic… It’s about my thoughts and emotions for now, wrapped in Dieselpunk-Art-Deco style.
About something personal.

INFLUENCES
Of course.

:bulletred: Sure, Art Deco style and the epoch of 1920-30-40-50s… Stalin’s Empire Style, National-Classicism, American Art Deco…

:bulletred: 60-70s USSR with our Gagarin, Space propaganda posters and retrofuturistic cartoons about space. (:

:bulletred: Sure, Leiji matsumoto’s Space Battleship Yamato and Interstella 5555.

:bulletred: Art Nouveau and Mucha’s women.

:bulletred: Quote “tomorrow that never was” (c) #RaypunkWonders… I hope they won’t beat me for writing their quote in my artwork… XD
