MONTHLY HEADER #64: Philippe Bouchet
Incredibly detailed illustrations from the French illustrator Manchu. Philippe has a new book from Delcourt/SerieB editions titled "MANCHU Starships" some time this month. I will post a link when the info becomes available. All of these illustrations are traditional acrylic on 450g weight paper, 50x65cm. Check out part TWO... Thanks Philippe!

Bravo Manchu. You know, you are may favourite SF illustrator. Long live Manchu!
really nice work mate . reminds me of the 70´s and 80´s sf paintings *thumbsup*
Wow ! Those artworks are fantastic !
Peter Elson lives!
Very much reminiscent of the SCI-FI artwork I used to see when I was little, brings back alot of fond memories. Great stuff.
Very impressive.
Another great reason why I follow this website! Fantastic!
Space Opera illustration ne plus ultra.
WOW...What a start to the month! Old-school space opera epicness all over the place!
Brain-hurtingly awesome.
Manchu did production design for the old animated TV series "Il éatit une fois… l'espace" ("Once upon a time…Space"), which is the only time we've got Chris Foss-like spaceships on TV ever, I believe.
See http://vuillard.free.fr/space/space.html
Examples: the passenger cruise ship Cosmopolitain:

Or the baddies' Nautilus class warships:

Great!
I love them. Especially the nun mama ship tractor beaming the baby ship.
Terrific art - and how wonderful to see work produced in traditional media, such a nice change from digital !
Reminds me of the great illustrators of my youth, Chris Moore, Peter Elson, and that bloke Foss,of the many rivets spaceships - ha !
A GREAT website too, I visit often !
open-mouthed staring kinda stuff, so much greatness. each picture is a beauty, and tells an interesting story.
also thumbs up for high-res!
Amazing stuff,
pity it took bloody ages to view this page because of the 18mb of swf files.
Sure everyones got broadband connections now, but theres no need to take the piss.
That is very beautiful state of imagination. Hats off to you!!
Quite good designs manchu,have you seen the camouflage used on ships called razzle dazzle, to create a visual hazard, the american ship USS Charles S. Sperry (DD-697) being most effective.

Could you design a home page design for WHARFBAY .com
Simply amazing art!
French of Manchu here !
He's now working with a galery selling replicas of most of his paintings on photograph paper with a breath-taking quality.
The Galery is called Bureau 21, and here is their facebook album of the Manchu's paintings replicas they sell :
