218-fires-of-nuala-dixon – This narrative science fiction illustration depicts a grand, futuristic celebration on an extraterrestrial world. On the left, a massive, brutalist stone structure features arched openings that reveal a crowded ballroom shimmering under cascading golden light installations. In the foreground, a blonde woman in an elegant white gown stands on a terrace holding a glass, overlooking a reflecting pool and a blazing fire pit, while a dramatic pink-to-blue twilight sky is filled with three large, detailed crescent moons rising over distant mountains. cover for novel by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel, acrylic and gouache, 1988
