223-final-circuit-dixon – This dramatic science fiction illustration depicts a massive wheel-shaped space station undergoing a catastrophic structural failure in deep space. One side of the station's large habitat ring is violently exploding into a jagged mass of tearing metal, illuminated by a brilliant orange and red blast radius. A small, wedge-shaped scout ship or escape pod is seen fleeing the disaster near the station's central command spire, while a peaceful blue planet and a turbulent, colorful background nebula provide a stark cosmic backdrop to the destruction. cover for novel by Melinda Snodgrass, acrylic and gouache, 1987.
