Chapter 1: The Stars My Destination - poster
Summary:
Space Battles! Time Travel! Action! Drama!
Notes:
In her briefing for potential artists, mad_maudlin said: "I have an ironclad kink for the cheesy cover art of pulp sci-fi from the fifites and sixties". I hope this first artwork goes a little way in that direction. It's a marvellous story and it was huge fun to illustrate.
Digital artwork created in photoshop. Many thanks to mashimero, my art beta.

Chapter 2: Warp Drive from the Arboretum
Summary:
...out the arboretum's windows, the starfield shifted as the Atlantis broke orbit. "Oh," Rodney said. "Here we go—"
Mars, the drydock, the starfield—everything disappeared into a scintillating whorl of warp drive. They were underway.
Notes:
I couldn't resist illustrating this scene from the story. The combination of foliage inside a space ship going into warp drive made for interesting contrasts. Thanks to mad_maudlin for writing such a great story - it was fun doing the art.
