Electric Sheep - cover design complete

I never made the transparencies for The Versions of Us cover that I did but I do really want to make this one. I asked in digital print though, and apparently if you print on acetate in colour it turns out translucent. This initially put me off, but I checked to see what the musculature would look like laid out translucent over the android and it looks alright:

So I might just go for it because it would be nice to have. 

The book without the dust jacket and the dust jacket on its own. The same format of mock up used for The Versions of Us. The blueprint notes are bits of info taken from the book about the functions and features of the Nexus-6 type androids

I think that this makes for a really interesting portfolio piece - I haven't been able to get around to doing interior illustrations which is a bit disappointing, but I'll try and do an appropriate range for product distribution to beef this up a bit. I think it's also good that it stands out a bit more in the portfolio as a different sort of illustration to what else is in there.
