I was introduced to the sci-fi author, Nick Braker through a design friend. The idea he wanted to get across in his newest series was to showcase a barren alien tundra juxtaposed with a colorful scene of the main character taking a soul into his body. Carl Sagan’s quote “The cosmos is also within us, we’re made of star stuff,” came to mind when trying to illustrate the metaphysical idea of taking in a soul and that’s how I came up with the design.
