Pioneers On Unium: Cover Design-Chapter 7

Pioneers On Unium, Softcover, and E-Book are now available through LifeRich Publishing. This is my first published Science Fiction Adventure novel and is in the very early stages of a promotional startup. As of this writing, the only artist working on this project is me, and I am not an artist. If anyone out there likes to draw and would like to have your art exposed to a Sword & Planet audience, feel free to have at it.

Included below is a description for artists of a scene in chapter seven of Pioneers On Unium that was considered as a book cover idea. If you are interested in having some fun with some fresh material, give this book's description a draw and share your artistic vision with us on one, or all four, Pioneers On Unium, Facebook pages.


You are sure to make some new fans.

I own all rights to Pioneers On Unium. Anyone in promotions, children's books, comics, calendars, clothing, games, artists, etc,. interested in new fresh content and subject matter I am easy to work with. We all know it is more productive to advance as a team than as an individual.

Artist Outline For Scene From Chapter Seven

Character Appearance
  • A 24-year-old, about 6' 2", muscular white man.
  • Long brown chestnut hair about the middle of the back length is held in place by a leather headband.
  • Shirtless with long-legged buckskin breeches with fringe down the two outer sides.
  • Feet covered in calf-high moccasins with fringe circling the top.

Action Scene
  • The character is tied to two saplings at the base of a gigantic tree.
  • The man is tied in such a manner that he is in the middle of the two saplings on his knees.
  • Two pieces of grass rope bind one arm to each sapling, with a minimum amount of slack for movement but not enough so he could untie himself.
  • Springing through the air toward the bound man is a waist-high dog-like creature, with bear-like claws and a shaggy brown coat filled with black spots

Story Theme
  • The man is suffering from a poisonous spider bite and is completely delusional.
  • When the dog-like creature springs for him instead of retreating in fear, the fever-crazed man launches himself towards the lunging creature, having his teeth as his only weapon and the throat of the beast as his goal.

Description Of Surroundings
  • The incident takes place in good light, but early in the morning.
  • In the background, there is a small smoldering campfire and the man's bow and quiver of arrows, spear, hand ax, canteen, and a leather pouch (all handmade) lay in a pile a few feet away from the campfire.
  • Encircling the small campsite is sharpened stakes drove into the ground, slanting towards the forest.
  • The undergrowth of the area is not dense, but it is colorful.
  • There are no mountains or streams within sight.
  • If you are drawing a cover, the top of the picture must be done in a fashion to allow room for the title, and author's name, to appear without interfering with the main art. See the example provided below.
