Book Cover Illustrations

Robots are always fascinating to view — and to paint. And they can be key to setting the stage for a science fiction novel or magazine story.

Over the last year, I’ve been perfecting my skills at creating these creatures and have had the pleasure of seeing some of my efforts appear in print.

One cool thing about robots is the wide variety of configurations they can have. Just about any “part” from legs to head is optional with these critters. And they can be “skinned” with a mirror finish (or rusting exterior), be part human cyborgs, be cute or terrifying — all depending on the story and the mood that’s needed.

Here are a few more examples of the work I’ve been doing over the last few months:

If you need a robot, cyborg, or android for your science fiction tale, I’m hoping you’ll let me create it for you. You can see more of my artwork at Duncan Long’s Book Illustration Gallery.
