drawing from reality is sometimes actually good. often following tropes is bad, it's good to back to source, aka real life machines and soldiersit's how we got terrans from starcraft (i think) who look like modern day astronauts surviving in galaxy full of incomprehensible monstersright is just regurgitation of jetsons.

I think a certain amount of thought, justification, and realism is needed for sci-fi, but only enough to ensure it doesn't ruin people's suspension-of-disbelief.Rule of Cool is far more important.
>>7222629I agree. I appreciate that many artists want to bring a certain realism to their interpretations of fantasy or science fiction worlds (even when they depict things that are literally impossible according to our understanding of science), but I think overdoing it leads to things that are visually boring and repetitive. You know, the typical content you find in ArtStation and most modern movies and video games. Creating something visually arresting, iconic and meaningful is more important. I doubt that future generations will look back on many of our current designs with nostalgia.
>>7222539Terrans draw a ton from the aesthetic of Alien and Aliens though. Environments, vehicles, terminology, the truckers-in-space vibe, etc.

This recent Done-For-Fun comic is a blend of fantasy and pockets of high tech.
