In the late 90's, I did a series of game book covers for Iron Crown Enterprise's series 'Silent Death' This was one of the last covers in the series, done in 1998. They were always spaceships, usually in battle, as I did few figure drawings in this period. Acrylic on masonite, size approx 13 x 22 inches

David's Sling

John wanted the cover expanded as a wraparound as the other 2 books of this series, and so the original art (on the right half) was digitally blended with all-new art (left half). On the upper left, the Paratime Police keep watch with their electric eye. Gouache on masonite/Photoshop 6 w/Wacom tablet.
