Over the years, fans have asked why I depicted Fitz wielding a sword on the cover. As you can see, his weapon was accurate to the text in the original concepts.

Patricia A. McKillip is a terrific writer, very inspiring. My cover concepts for her novel The Changeling Sea, taken together, were some of the best I'd done up to that point. Choosing among them was extremely difficult.

There's no substitute for studying the real thing.

Once there, the family took a side trip to the beaches in South Wales.

When I got back to the studio, I repainted the water and then sent it in.

This was the first cover in the Dragonriders of Pern series to feature the fire lizards and I really enjoyed painting them.

When I finished, I had a vague sense of unease and didn't sent it in to the publisher before leaving for the World SF Convention in Brighton, England.

Up until this point in my End of Nature series, I had portrayed the people who represent humanity in general as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature was providing for them.
