Old fantasy image depicting a kid in a space suit building sandcastles on the moon












10















I'm looking for an old image seen in the 80s. It looks like it could have been drawn by Boris Vallejo or Julie Bell, but as far as I know they are not the authors. Since they've drawn countless heroic fantasy pics and covers, etc you can imagine the style.



It did depict a kid (a girl I think) in a space suit, doing sandcastles (with a plastic bucket) on the moon.
Since this happened 35 years ago, I could be mistaken with the style, but I saw it at the same time as other Vallejo pics, on a slide show for the Amiga or Atari ST.



Does anyone know this one?

  • that was amazingly quick! thanks Mark! Thinking of it: is that the only one image like this? in my (very possibly flawed) memory, the girl was seen from the side and holding the bucket in the hands. Could someone else have copied that concept? or is my memory playing a trick on me (it was 320x200 pic back then too)

Berlina muro

Image
La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
