Space surfing… Book Cover Illustration
filed in Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork on Feb.16, 2010
Space surfing… Riding the wake of energy released from a ship dropping out of hyperspace… Doubtful physics, but fun to think about what such a surf board might look and how it would need to have its own (here invisible) bubble of gravity and atmosphere. I went ahead and gave it the ability to conform somewhat to the rider as well (hey, it’s my idea, I’ll make it the way I want).
This is a possible illustration for my book Wrong Side In — which I’m getting ready to re-write (for about the 8th time) with a few new chapters to present another character — who is shown here. I think this is likely the 8th cover I’ve created for this book as well; nothing ever seems to be quite finished with this writing project.
