Work Text:
I loved the chance to do art for a classic BSG78 story. Starbuck/Apollo is one of my first ships, and I think it is beautifully done in this story. I wanted to do a "family" picture for the cover, and have always loved that picture of Apollo with his arm around Starbuck. Finding a shot of Boxey was also pretty easy. For El, I wanted to choose a waif-like young actress, and Elle Fanning fit the bill (and was brought to mind by the name similarity). Little touches I had fun adding are the Colonial Warrior insignia as a colophon, using the BSG font (of course), and making a barcode from "smallfandombang".
