Book cover artwork - Deep Space 4 by book illustrator Duncan Long

Another “book cover illustration exercise” done last weekend for entertainment — and hopefully to either inspire the commission of a book cover illustration or even to serve as a book illustration should it match an author’s vision of a story in search of artwork. Or maybe some concept art or a character design. At any rate, such exercises are seldom wasted time since they often attract customers as well as help hone my painting skills.

And they keep me from playing in the street.

Once again, a beautiful photo from “BobbiStock” provided the reference for this space lady.
