Star Republic. Long for Tomorrow that never was

_{Please fullview for more details!

I've thought up this pic some months ago. First it was Space Battleship Yamato fanart, as you can see on sketches.
Then, when I've started to color them, I've realized that I'm drawing my OCs (Ecstaziy and Ella), not Lord Dessler and Starsha. 0_o

That's the first drawing for my new idea. 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.

Sure, Art Deco style and the epoch of 1920-30-40-50s... Stalin's Empire Style, National-Classicism, American Art Deco...

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

Sure, Leiji matsumoto's Space Battleship Yamato and Interstella 5555.

Art Nouveau and Mucha's women.

Quote "tomorrow that never was" (c) #RaypunkWonders... I hope they won't beat me for writing their quote in my artwork... XD

STOCK AND REFS

are they star-cross lovers?

=DeeJay-Alien Jan 2, 2013 Student Interface Designer

Hmm... Maybe...)))
I think it's kinda retrofuturistic thoughts like: "What if USSR was tomorrow".)))

~Aellostriker2 Jan 2, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

interesting

~laydeepunch Dec 28, 2012

HUGELY reminds me of the art style used in an animation about three Kossacks. I grew up with this sort of thing- the 70s animated films especially. Fucking awesome stuff!

=DeeJay-Alien Jan 2, 2013 Student Interface Designer

Thank you very much.

Oh, yes, they're cool movies, I enjoy them. I've grown up watching them too.)

~laydeepunch Jan 2, 2013

I really miss the old animated folk tales- they were so super beautiful!

~bluessaurus Oct 31, 2012

That's beautiful.
