Some sketches.

When this was in production, I tapped a very talented artist, Rikke, to collaborate with me on this. Unfortunately, for various reasons, it fell through. However, she was a big part in shaping the characters and direction compared to this story's predecessor. Here's a few bits of art that she produced.



The initial design of Ellie. Before she had a name, even. Note the use of her nanotech clothes to create the fishbowl helmet, and the introduction of the rocket high heels. A fantastic science fiction idea.


Here's some basic sketches of the main characters in the story. Clockwise starting from the upper left: Keith Quon, Erik Lundgren, Elena Kalas, the ARC unit (name varied between Snaps or something else witty), three sketches of Oscar Spencer, and Jim Codding.


Just a quick sketch of Ellie and Erik enjoying some of Jim's pizza.
