For those science fiction and fantasy authors who have trouble keeping an image in their minds illustrations are critical. It makes consistently describing characters and buildings much easier. Of course not all authors are artistically inclined. One recourse is to commission works from working artists. This author prefers to provide the artists with primitive base sketches for her to bring alive. that is how the cover art for "Dying Embers" came to be. At the moment I am working on developing a sci-fi world where this spherical robot (I came up with it before a certain cute little bot debuted by the way) is tasked with carrying water to and from the great terraforming platforms. The design is based on water barrels used currently in Africa and is designed for pure efficiency. The WC-field is run by an AI whose sole directive is to get from point A to point B without losing water.
