The cover from an obscure cult classic of 90s sci-fi, wherein an androgyne from a society of dinosaur-like people discovers some worrisome truths about what powers their Sufficiently Advanced Technology.
This is actually book 3 of Malachite"s "Octahedron Sequence", though not advertised as such on the cover. Malachite (generally thought to be a pseudonym, though nobody has any idea who for) vanished without a trace after the publication of the fourth book of what that volume"s concluding Author"s Note said had begun to look more like a hexology than the trilogy it was originally solicited as.
(Commission for Green.)

The more I look at this, the more I appreciate all the little details in the background, the textures... Very nice.
Thanks! I'm glad to have those noticed, I was kind of asking myself "what would James Gurney do here" in multiple places in this one...
Very nice! I'm curious, was the Octahedron Sequence and actual series, or is it part of the commission?
It’s just some stuff I made up after impulsively putting some text on the nearly-complete image. :)
I'm really enjoying the oldschool paperback vibe and the science fiction lore, it definitely puts me in a mood to read some good ol' pulp.
