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.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Notes:
I did a second artwork for mad_maudlin's story as well. Click on "next Chapter" to see it.
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.
