Do you notice the double-image in this picture?

Above the text is an image, what is drawn by artist Patrick Reilly. The image is about the fictional shipwreck in some planet, what is far away from the Earth. This image hides also the double-effect because this kind of picture or object in the picture also looks like some kind of cannon. So when we are thinking about the art and drawings, there is something, what makes the image inside the artists head, and when we are thinking about sci-fi art, there are many times very militaristic things in those pictures. In the last text, what I wrote is a picture above it. When we are thinking about that propaganda poster, there are many interesting details, what I was not mentioned. Link to that picture is here: https://imginationsasnthoughts.blogspot.com/2018/12/somebody-is-watching-theme-in-sci-fi-art.html

The person who stands on the left side seems, that this action would not be done voluntary, and the other man seems to show the things of the space station and the spaceship at the front of it for the other person by using force. The spacecraft looks like a nuclear weapon, where is the chemical laser in the middle of it, and then the acetylene lamps would start to pump energy to that device.

At the top will be the tank, what is filled with Lithium, and when the laser will hit it, or to the small bite of plutonium, would it start the fusion reaction. This kind of base could also be the underwater position, and it can locate at the near of the Novaja Zemlja. When we are thinking about this kind of paintings or the bases, what they would portray, the similar technology, what is developed for space stations would also be used in the special underwater structures.

The extraordinary people, who are making extraordinary things, need an extraordinary workspace. In fact if the thing is about the underwater developing center, would that atom bomb used for terminating those scientists and engineers, who are working in the station, what would be used to create the most interesting military technology, would be controlled by using that kind of threat. The window actually seems like equipped with similar explosives what are used in the fighter-aircraft. And they can be exploded if somebody would try to rebel against the government. There are rumors, that this kind of bases actually exists, and the persons, who are working in there are specially secured, what means, that their skins might be sterilized.

"Somebody is watching" theme in sci-fi art

The thing in sci-fi art is that somehow there would be something, what is hidden from the public. Or what is hiding in the space or another planet, and those creatures are always strange or hidden. Sometimes I have thought sill things while looking at the photographs, what is taken from the spacewalk, and I must ask one question, how the men in the control room really know who is in the picture.

Those pictures, where the astronauts are hiding behind the black masks, what are protecting them against the radiation, what comes from the sun, have given the reason for writing very weird stories about this kind of things. In those stories astronauts are facing something, that is very frightening and unknown to the people.

Once I read a book, where astronauts operated secretly with humanoids and the story was fascinating.  The idea was that the control of the spaceflight was used the choreography, where alien was opposite of the human in the space suit, what was similar, with the suit, what was used by humans. The idea was, that there was no difference between man and alien when they were in the space suits.

The idea of the space art and sci-fi books are similar to books, what are written about submarines. The men in the closed space with no change to escape is fascinated the writers from Jules Verne to Stanislaw Lem, and this idea of the lonely ship lonely in the space is very interesting. It would give the writer freedom for writing the things, what would feel to be in the spacecraft over the hostile planet. The set is similar to the Jules Verne's Captain Nemo-books, where captain Nemo is under the polar ice with his submarine "Nautilus", and this submarine is losing the oxygen.

The idea is that behind the steel core is the crew, fighting against the enemy, what is coming from outer space. In those fictional space journeys, the spaceship is portrayed as an independent state. There is no way to send the message to the base, what is very far away, and that's why those crew members must be very independent because the help would not be expected when they are in trouble. And that thing makes sci-fi books very interesting. And of course, sci-fi books are containing many things, what fascinates people, and they make an influence for the sci-fi drawings and paintings.
