Description
W. Blake Heitzman's, The Robot's Daughter, presented a challenge from the initial planning stage; my and Blake's first live chat on the contact page on my website.
There were so many potentially cool visuals to use to represent the book, it was difficult deciding what would most effectively appeal to the most people in the sci-fi audience while still representing the overall mood and storyline.
In the end, Blake and I decide to choose a key, turning-point scene, that didn't also mimic what the title implies, allowing the title to offer a separate clue than the visual does ...
More hints for the buck, so to speak.
We also wanted to have a female-reader-friendly cover.
Sci-fi is predominantly a male genre. We knew anything about robots and spaceships would attract the guys, but we wanted something to catch the female eyes, as well. What better than a half-naked, modern day South-West Native American in jeans, boots, and cowboy hat alongside his furry, shape-shifting spirit-companion?
The biggest challenge? The lighting. Nighttime scenes are tricky to begin with, but nighttime scenes with a glowing spaceship that lights the environment is even trickier. The trick? LOTS of drafts and cussing ... lol.
I guess it's only fair I share the blurb now, huh?
~
From distant regions of the galaxy to the offices of the world's most advanced corporation a war rages between good and evil, but for the robot's daughter the horror comes from within.

this is wonderful work
I think that you did it and that Sabre Tooth Tiger adds a whole new adventure!
A very strange render. (But what can we expect, this is a sci-fi cover, isn't it? :) ) I'd presume that creature to the right is meant to glow in the dark?
Technically great work. Like the nighttime ambience and the violet glow coming from the vehicle. Think it would be even better if the man's figure could be more visible, though. Show some of his muscles! (Oh, wait, that might make the cover too male-oriented again... :P )
Yes. It's a sci-fi render, so strange is sort of a prerequisite. And yes, the ghost cat beside him is meant to glow. And although more muscles is never a bad thing, since the only real light source is the shuttle and the glowing cat, I thought too much ambient light may make it look too bright for a night scene with lighting that would logically silhouette him to a degree. Yes?
