ENSIGN FLANDRY (1978)
Acrylic on illustration board - 26” x 16”

Dominic Flandry debuted in print way back in 1966, a decade before I worked on ACE reprints of the series. Early in my career, I was often paired with established authors like Poul Anderson. 1/4

A man in silver spacesuit with bubble helmet peers out off the deck of a traditional wooden sailing ship. He's ruggedly handsome with tousled golden hair, chiseled high cheekbones, and sharp panhandle sideburns. He holds a laser rifle pointed up and at the ready while his knee knifes forward over the rail. He appears poised for action. Next to him stands a lithe alien woman with long raven hair falling over russet, black-striped fur. She holds a long, slender sword at waist height, sliding her offhand up the curving blade. Yellow highlights bristle around her eye in wide outline. In profile, the ring takes the shape of an eagles head with beak descending down over her cheek. She is unclothed except for boots and a belt crossed over her chest. Gold ornament and jewels, however, drape her chest. Other aliens of her race rush to the edge of the ship, the first wielding a trident and snarling to expose pointed teeth.
