Book cover smackdown!

My friend Lou Anders sent me two links to a pretty fun concept on sfsignal.com. It's what they call "Book cover smackdown!". like some sort of a cover fight - point your favorite, with comments added. It's interesting and the feedbacks are valuable and different than elsewhere too. You can go check it here:

A good way to introduce the cover i did for HAZE last year. erm. At least i think it was last year... and also, i really zapped this one since i did it while doing my migration from Dallas to Seattle. It's a book cover for the Star Trek universe. I'm not particularly good at strictly respecting such a renowned IP when it comes to detailing and style. But the good thing was that the typical star trek elements were really quite invisible.
