Lousy book covers do feature a lot of impractical spacewear as did pulp magazine covers. For some reason pop culture female spacewear looks as impractical as shorts and halter tops for outdoorwear in snake and tick country.
(The new US Space Force uniforms are practical for everyday wear and utility in a working environment but are catching a lot of Star trek jokes.)
Oh, yeah, I know. Any student of history/military history would recognize those, but still…the Rodenberry Empire has a greater reach than “mere” learning. 😉
Where do these people/”designers” keep getting the fake ass CGI people? I’m a full time graphic designer, I wouldn’t have a clue where to get terrible stock people. I get the cut and paste outfits and hair (bad photoshop), but the….base models?
Another practical space opera outfit.

Well, it’s hard NOT to make ST jokes about it, isn’t it? I nearly choked checking them out–at first, I thought it was a send-up.
Funny thing is the diagonal tunic buttons go back to 19th century if not earlier.

Well, dear, yes, yes it does.
P.P.S:
Plus, missing, one black pendant. ???

Set these websites on fire and I save the internet, got it. Thanks!
AFAIK, they are lousy 3-D pseudo-humans. Although, to be fair, I have seen some pseudo-humans that were so good…I wasn’t sure. Truly.
I think when a 3D render artist becomes so skilled their creations look good, they are out of the price range of a lot of indie/self-pub authors.
