Tat Wood Comments: Always put the lid on your marker pens when not using them. Otherwise, you just dry them out and inhale fumes.

The fog of war.

Didn’t quite make the deadline, huh?

Amazing attention to detail to that alien tree branch.

Enough with the “unfinished” business. This is obviously a Star Wars tie-in set on Hoth. Yes, John Brunner was that prescient.

I’m not crazy about the balance of the composition, but I do kind of like the style of this one despite the stark, incompleteness of it. At any rate, I did enjoy looking up some of Thole’s other artwork. (And not just the ones in need of a Space Sheeping.)

Don’t spend all your limited time detailing the background if you’re going to hit the deadline and/or run out of paint.
I wonder if the Overlords of War even appear on this cover, or if they were supposed to be warring and overlording in that blank space down right. Along with the rest of the damsel’s dress.
I’d make an “anatomical problems” reference to the dude’s extra-long leg, but I’m not sure how much of that’s him and how much is tree branch.

@ARY: Brings in the punters. Nobody in the US would have heard of Klein/Gilles, so it needed a big English-language name.
