I wanted to give you a peek at the cover art process on this one. For my books I like to commission original art that tries to capture the feel of that particular story. For Derelict 3, I'm working with a new artist and wanted to share some layout images (the four black and white images) showing different elements that will be included in the final cover. The color images are concept art for the final version of the USS Franklin that will be featured in book 3 (he has a long fight ahead of him to get from a drifting half-mad core to a heavy battleship).
