Modelled in Cinema 4D, post-production in Photoshop.
The cargo shuttle/freighter design is influenced (of course) by Gerry Anderson designs and the Sikorsky Sky Crane. The blue-and-white striped colour scheme is a direct steal from the Chris Foss cover for "The Early Assimov, Vol 1"
Most of the textures throughout the image are mine - the chevrons, ship number and crate textures are Total Textures (but dirtied a little more!).

Two astronaut-miners (I can't write that without thinking of the Galaxy Quest joke!) receive a supply drop from a cargo shuttle.

Bit of a cheat this one: I've had the cargo shuttle/freighter semi-finished for over a year, looking for an image. The astronauts are from my 'Artifact' illustration and the rocks I purchased from Renderosity store over a decade ago...
Reading an article about asteroid mining suggested this image, and it was largely a case of assembly, a little bit of texturing.
Hope you like it!
