Recent
& Unusual SF & Fantasy Here are some recent non-astronomical commissions, both private and for book/cover use, from 2001–2008.
| 'The Sands of Titan' by Richard A. Lovett was published on the June 2007 cover of Analog magazine. It tells the story of an astronaut stranded on Titan, alone ~ except for his 'female' AI companion, Brittney. |
|
‘Brittney's Labyrinth’ This is a sequel to 'The Sands of Titan', and will be published on Analog just a year later, in June 2008. Here the scene changes, first to Saturn's moon Iapetus (the scene shown here), and then to a 'shepherd moon' within the rings of Saturn, which is an interior illustration. The author says that he used Hardy's original 'skinsuit' design in this second story, to make the astronauts look 'insectile'! |
