Description
I have had a vacation and needed something to slowly get back into the groove. I continued where I had left off, with the unlikely gang of space heroes and I named them “Astro Guard”, because:
A. I needed two words with the same numbers of letter as “Retro Spect”
B. because it sounded like an old TV-show...
C.my gang is a flirt with “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Masters of the Universe- ish, so it felt like an ok name.
(I also googled it and there is actually a hurricane fabric protection called “astroguard.”... who knew?)
My Astro Guard members are:
Iron Star, the resurrected reincarnation of Ewan Colt Bailey (or just an hallucination while he was dying in space in 2007)
Iron Star: made with G2M, M6, G6, G2M face and body morphs. Vascular and Aging HD morphs.
Barbarian outfit made in MD2 and hexagon.
Boots made in Hexagon
Ray gun and dagger made in Hexagon
Character rendered in Poser
The weapon, Judgment and the sister creation, Sentence, were a menacing plague of their galaxy for years, until Judgment got badly damaged and left for dead. She was repaired by the very beings she had been ordered to destroy, and vowed from that day to help the ones in need. To help Iron Star to acclimatize in the beginning she temporary altered her appearance to “Brigitte. She have been known to change into this character from time to time, since Judgment still is considered a feared character.
Judgment: made with poser 6 Jessi and Hexagon
Clothes made in MD2 and Hexagon
Character rendered in Vue
Autotron One, was a prototype automaton created by Inada-Belt to aid Ewan Colt Bailey on his mission to a hypothetical planet in the outer rims of our solar system. It maintained the ships functions and guarded Ewan while he was kept in a preserving state. After Ewan Cold Bailey died, Autotron One got rescued by A.G:E and given an upgrade, making it a self conscious entity.
Autotron One: made in Hexagon, rigged in Poser.

Very nice poster. Looks like the cover from one of the old "Starblazer" comics from the 80's.

There needs to be more near-retro sci-fi like this.

I love it!

omg, I so want to see this movie NOW! Seriously, Bjorn. Everything is always so wonderful. And I agree with your comment about the Masters of the Universe/Guardians 'mashup'. I think your art very much captures that grand epic look as I've said so many times. The DC comic title Mystery in Space comes to mind with your style. I love looking at this full-sized...there's so much awesome detail and I could never get bored with Ewan.

Thank you, Glen! You are always so kind. We used to rent videos at our local gas station when I was a child, but I think I enjoyed looking at the covers more than watching the actual movies.

Oh, and I love the name Astro Guard. It just seems so fitting. Kind of like Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica. It rolls right off the tongue.

Another amazing piece, Bjorn. I love how your artwork immediately throws you into the beauty of retro sci-fi. The colours are totally en pointe, yet again. It's the science fiction I grew up with, and love the warm familiarity of nostalgia your work produces. Have to say though, Judgement is my favorite character. And secret wish: Iron Star will run into the Machineheads. It's also so facinating to see how much work went into each of your pieces. Very impressive.

Oh, haha, these guys? If I do I promise to dedicate that image to you Thank you so much, Ruh, for your kind words I grew up watching old sci-fi, posters and book covers. There is something very comforting to return to the limitless imagination of that era. It feels like I am back in my room, playing and dreaming.
