Of Thanes and Starships is an elaborate artwork I drew covering topics covered in my book, "Star Chosen," which is even more elaborate (all 360 pages of it).
The digital painting here includes Tara Thane, a teenage entrepreneur who is one of the main Star Chosen characters, along with her father, Tharquinn Thane. Also featured in this piece are flying cars, a floating city, and the bright green shapeshifting starship that plays a significant role in this futuristic, allegorical tale.
Star Chosen is a allegorical sci-fi novel I wrote and illustrated with over 126 drawings over the course of 20 years, off and on. Read the newest version of this book at
