PORTFOLIO - Sci-Fi Designs 2025

A current sampling of some of my original designs and graphics. I grew up with the Gerry Anderson TV series and these continue to inspire me. The incredible futuristic hardware seen in those shows was designed by Derek Meddings and Mike Trim.
I have been working as a Producer in Animation and now I am furthering my interest in creating artwork.
There is more work to see on Artstation as well as my website; www.matteline.com
I have a YouTube channel Matteline1967
The some of graphics are available via www.redbubble.com

DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION SHIP
The large wheel is constantly rotating generating centrifugal force or ‘artificial gravity’. The ship does not do planetary landings so the delicate design is sufficient for space travel.

HYPERION
A recent painting of a ship I designed when I was a teenager in the 1980s!
I had to make a large scale model and my modelling skills at the time were limited, hence the slab sided design aesthetic.
