Ragamuffin cover art
August 30th 2006 at 10:56 am
Irene Gallo has posted an interview with Todd Lockwood (the talented man who did Crystal Rain’s cover art) and the progression from thumbnail sketch all the way to final cover for Ragamuffin. You certainly want to check this out.
I’m being so spoiled by Tor in regards to cover art. I’m a real lucky guy.

Very cool. I like it.
Best,
Mark Terry

I like it. Personally, I think the Crystal Rain cover is better, but this one rocks too.
3. Steve Buchheit on Aug 30th, 2006 at 12:22 pm
Very cool. Yep, Tobias, you sure are in good fortune when it comes to cover art. Whichever god of publishing is responsible, I suggest making obeisance in plenty this year.
Plus, I love the quote, “What are you working on now?
A six pack of Amber Bock.”
4. Chris on Aug 30th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
I must say, that is so cool.
5. Paul Abbamondi on Aug 30th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
Wow, Tobias! Very awesome cover.
6. John D. on Aug 30th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
Sweet!
7. Shawn Scarber on Aug 30th, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Wow! That’s a great cover. Very cinematic. I’ve even set it as the background of my desktop. T-shirts and posters are now required.
8. Steve Nagy on Aug 30th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
I especially like the detail you can see in the enlarged image. Good perspectives.
Nice cover.
9. Jaime on Aug 30th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
That cover totally rocks. I love it.
10. Mdean on Aug 30th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Holy sh*t! I’m like super pumped to read this. You got a sista on the cover busting shots. I love it.
11. Shara on Aug 30th, 2006 at 7:43 pm
That’s wild!
12. David Louis Edelman on Aug 30th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
I say this in all sincerity, Toby: HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
13. Kate MacLeod on Aug 31st, 2006 at 9:58 am
That’s one sweet cover! I love the blue, very eye-catching.
14. Tony on Aug 31st, 2006 at 11:33 am
Wow, extremely dynamic artwork. Really good stuff.
15. Jon on Aug 31st, 2006 at 11:37 am
That is trippy. Congrats, man!
16. Elijah on Aug 31st, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Well, I just finished reading “Crystal Rain” last night (in a 150 page marathon), and now I’m definitely hooked. The cover art here just sweetens the deal and makes the wait that much harder.
17. Jose on Aug 31st, 2006 at 1:59 pm
Very nice piece, cheers Tobias.
18. geoffrey philp on Sep 1st, 2006 at 7:00 am
Congratulations, Tobias.
Great cover. Intergalatic badman. I love it!
19. Vera Nazarian on Sep 2nd, 2006 at 6:13 am
Oh, WOW, Toby, I love it, it’s gorgeous!!!
20. Tonya L on Sep 2nd, 2006 at 11:10 am
I saw “you got a sista on the cover” and fled over to check it out.
It *IS* cinematic. I kept thinking of Alien4…
Niiice…!
21. Tobias Buckell on Sep 2nd, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Thank you all, so much, I’m so psyched about it, it’s awesome!
22. Ray Dotson on Sep 3rd, 2006 at 10:16 am
This is exactly the kind of cover that’s been making me pick up books since I was a kid. Too cool.
23. brad on Sep 3rd, 2006 at 8:24 pm
Jeez, the cover is going to look great. I really love the second to last picture of the woman holding the machine gun. Can you give us a hint at who she is?
