Crap you got the southern judge, he hates windows.Click for full image

Sarah Comments: I love everything about this. The floating COM-PU-TOR in the witness chair. The fact that in the FU-TAR we still have traditional, human-run courts. The mobbed-up, dark-glasses wearing judge. The spider web.

I wish every computer looked like that! Many thanks to Sarah!

Dragon crystal!

9 Comments »

Wait... wait say that again. How much oxygen do we have.. and how long to dragons live?
Click for full river of lava!

Art direction: A huge lake of lava flowing down from a pointed ice mountain, and a dragon chasing some guys encased in a magic crystal of ice as they meander down the lava. Wait… there’s something missing isn’t there… Got it! Have a white ice eagle chase them too. But is it their companion or tormentor?

Thanks to Stu!

Outis Comments: A valiant attempt to describe an actual scene from the book. Yes, that’a foxlike alien with humanlike hands, then a different one with a beak, plus two perplexed looking humans. An ordinary day in the Humanx Commonwealth.
