275-parallel-universe-dixon – This striking science fiction illustration presents a bisected cosmic view representing two contrasting alternate realities divided down the center by a jagged energy tear. On the left side, a healthy, blue-and-white Earth-like planet orbits under a brilliant yellow sun nestled within a vibrant, star-filled nebula. The right side mirrors the same planetary position, but depicts a hostile parallel universe featuring a scorched, crimson planet with geometric, technology-scarred ruins beneath a dying red giant star and a dark, blood-red void. Unused sketch for cover of Asimov novel "The Gods Themselves", acrylic and gouache, 1990
