children's science fiction book novel illustration of Esme Zur written by Lyn Estabrook

Cover illustration for the children's science fiction novel Esme Zur, written by Lyn Estabrook. Lyn's request was quite special. She was desperate to find the key colours of her novel in the illustration. It's a very nice challenge because purple, blue and gold are not colours I usually use in my designs. My skills as a colourist were a great help in achieving a wonderful colour palette. On the cover, the young android Esme seems lost in the middle of a canyon. The compass she holds in her hand should guide her to a secret temple where her father is locked up.
