Here’s somewhat of a departure (pun intended – “All aboard!”). This has more emphasis on a mechanical figure rather than the human figure. The picture was pretty bland without the lighting and atmospheric effects; painting in the headlight and fog proved pretty fast and gives it a rather ominous feel, I think. (Horror book cover, perhaps? It will be interesting to see what book or magazine this one eventually finds a home on.)

So far, no takers. But that’s to be expected since it hasn’t been released into the book cover illustration wilds yet.
