As an assignment for an illustration class we were to design a book cover for any sci-fi or mystery novel that we wanted. I decided to make something up. My first choice was “Annihilation of the Arachnoids”, what’s not to like mechanical spiders, stuff blowing up, bad ass. After sketching around a bit I decided that the arachnoid idea was too big for the time frame of this project so I changed my book title to “Planet of the Dead”. I figured that was kinda sci-fi, horror sounding.
Here is the Sketch.
Here is the final piece.
Heh, it’s not this harsh of a green color. Who knows what happened.
