Zeta II Reticuli

This is Semi Fan art of the Zeta 2 Reticuli star system in ALIEN (1979 - Ridley Scott/Dan O'Bannon).

it is my source of inspiration for doing space-digital art, and also is part influence for my own design of my "elaborate planet" (the gas giant - which was also influenced by Jupiter)

i decided to do a complete homage and pay tribute to my source of inspiration by making a version of my art the same as the scene found in ALIEN 1979 of the establishing shot of the Zeta 2 Reticulu Star System when the Nostromo is flying into its atmosphere to land on Acheron / LV-426.

Credit also goes Directly to Dennis Lowe, the artist of the original work done in alien of the planets, credit goes to him for the layout and composition of the planets, as well as the influence of the look of the planets.
