Mock covers I designed and partially illustrated +AI

Actually all of these were for The Caves of Steel, I just decided to pop another title on for the heck of it. If it were The Naked Sun, the Spacer worlds wouldn’t so densely populated, and they'd be wearing more foreign clothing.

Imagine getting really into the Robots series by Isaac Asimov, following the story of human detective Elijah Baley and his robot partner R. Daneel Olivaw.

Title: The Caves of Steel (1954) Author: Isaac Asimov Vote: 8/10 A really good book in which a robot and a policeman who distrusts robots have to work together to solve a murder case. Interesting premise that allows us to talk about the role of progress and technology. To give strength to the book there is also the investigative side which is the real fulcrum of the story and not just an excuse to talk about other topics. The clues are there and if a person is good he can solve the mystery even on his own.

My sister explaining Caves of Steel to my friends: I love it. I love the characters and their relationships, R. Sammy did nothing ever, the dynamic between Elijah, Daneel and Jessie is wonderful; somehing something The Bible

Me explaining Caves of Steel to my friends: I love it. There's a robot protagonist and him having a dick is a relevant plot point. Read all the Robot Saga pls

Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. To me, it always seemed that the solution had to be wisdom. You did not refuse to look at danger, rather you learned how to handle it safely.

Why did no one tell me this mfer did literally every iconic fantasy and scifi cover ever?!?!

I was talking to a friend about fantasy book covers and discovered that this guy, Michael Whelan, did All Of Them. Okay, okay, not literally all of them, but about half of the iconic covers in fantasy/sci-fi? You can thank this guy for them. Here's just a few:

^The cover for A Memory of Light (Wheel of Time #14) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

(Note that the original covers for the other books in the Wheel of Time series were done by Darrell K. Sweet, who passed away before he finished his illustration for A Memory of Light.)

^The cover for The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive #1) by Brandon Sanderson

^The cover for Foundation (Foundation #1) by Isaac Asimov

^The cover for The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower #7) by Stephen King

^The cover for The Weird of the White Wolf (Elric of Melniboné #3) by Michael Moorcock

^The cover for The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov

^The cover for The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow and Thorn #1) by Tad Williams. This was the cover that got the conversation started.

I'm flabbergasted to learn that so many covers that I knew and love were done by the same guy!

Asimov in 1953: "The world will be too crowded at 8 billion people, everyone will have to live in giant towers! No single family homes!"

Meanwhile, it's 2024, the world is at 7.88 billion, and not only are robots not taking police jobs, but I bought a house last year.

#my art #asimov robots #isaac asimov #elijah baley #daneel olivaw #the caves of steel #the naked sun #robots of dawn #welcome to the DOG WORLD....... #they don't really have any specific breeds but i think elijah would be more of a mutt than anything #tried to make daneel more wolf-like because of the spacers being like super buff and strong and handsome and everything #and wolves are adjacent to that i think. #in the dog world. #i also kind of forgot daneel was ginger when i was orginally designing him so SORRY! he's blond now #i don't think it really matters though because he's a dog #i literally never listen to character descriptions idgaf #im kind of rambling #i dont know how to draw shoes #ALSO I HAVENT FINISHED READING ROBOTS OF DAWN YET......... i shld probably do that

If The Robots Series were a DE style game, Lije would take morale damage (and possibly die) when he accuses Daneel of being a human and Daneel literally peels off his skin to show he is not.
