Orphanarium
cover illustration for Shane Cartledges "Orphanarium"
"Here is us. We are here in the Orphanarium. Think: a city in a massive box, vacuum-sealed tight. No one is allowed outside. Here, people are born out of the air or made like computers and put together. Daff is me and Dil is you and together we are twins pulled from the same vacuum of space. Cyberia is our friend android and she has a window in her head, a sphere like a crystal mind monitor. Our pet is called Killy, a cyborg dog who was born out of the air like you and me, but has since been built up with robot parts so she can live longer."

Awesome! The concept of a city in a box where nobody can get in and out <3. The execution is pretty well done as well, I like to see all the tingy lights in this picture.
Love your imagination Hauke ^_^.
hey scrawly ! once again thank you so much !! :) in this case imagination was fueled by Rose O´Keefe from eraserhead press. she just gave me the name of the book and a very short description of what she and the author wanted to see on the cover : a floating futuristic "orphanarium". when doing the bizarro covers i never read the book before i paint.
You're really such a nice and conscientious person <3.
I love your stuff, so so so so so much, Hauke <3
Gorgeous idea, with a terrific illustration ! The step by step is amazing, as usual, and the little story that goes along with it is really evocative <3
I love it <3
