“Yogo Sunset”
This image was designed to capture the sweeping grandeur that I’m striving to put into the SF novel it inspired. It is supposed to be exotic, alien and yet familiar. The main character, Karyss pictured at the center, is the sort of person that can ride through daunting hardship with a smile.
Digital, Photoshop, 2012. For Pan-Spectrum Analyzer website.
Karyss watches a procession of spacecraft going about their business at an alien spaceport.
Hegemonic Marine
Digital, Photoshop, 2001.
This sketch belies my Traveller RPG and Warhammer 40,000 roots. The Vilani Imperial space marines wore deep maroon powered armour and I suppose the idea rubbed off on me.
