Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

This is my final brief for OUIL603, producing a cover illustration and three inner illustrations for Philip K Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

I've begun re-reading it and, as I did with War Horse, am taking notes of points in the novel which are interesting and may be worth illustrating:
  • Ch.1, pg.13 - Sheep control panel
  • Ch.2, pg.18 - J.R.'s living room (with a window outside visible)
  • Ch.2, pg.24 - J.R. holding an empathy box
  • Ch.3, pg.25 - Rick walking down animal row
  • Ch.3, pg.27 - Rick looking at Nexus data files
  • Ch.4, pg.34 - Landing on Rosen Association rooftop/seeing the owl
  • Ch.5, pg.40 - Rick testing Rachel Rosen
  • Ch.8, pg.68 - Rick about to leave
  • Ch.8, pg.68 - Entering Polokov's apartment
  • Ch.8, pg.73 - Polokov's head explodes
  • Ch.9, pg.78 - Luba Luft's room
  • Ch.11, pg.101 - With Luba in the museum
  • Ch.11, pg.109 - Rick is given VK test
  • Ch.13, pg.117 - Roy and Irmgard appear
  • Ch.14, pg.121 - Roy's metal frame
  • Ch.15, pg.127 - Animal row again
  • Ch.15, pg.129 - Roy and Iran on elevator "...Together they moved nearer to god"
  • Ch.16, pg. 141 - Rachel Rosen
  • Ch.17, pg. 153 - Sitting in a car with Rachel while she smokes
  • Ch. 18, pg. 161 - J.R. in tomb world
  • Ch. 22, pg. 178 - Rick holding toad (draw from above?)
An interesting thing that Ben mentioned was how sci-fi takes inspiration from surrealism as well, so consider how my work can honour this.
