One of my favorite artist blogs is the Gurney Journey, by artist James Gurney. He's currently holding a challenge he calls Art by Committee. He posts a random selection of a science fiction novel and asks any willing artists to interpret it visually. This week's challenge is to illustrate this scene.

This week's prompt is, "His left eye was swollen shut."

"Their voices were high pitched and piercing, yet human." This was the ABC Challenge this week. I immediately thought of the BeeGees, and worked them into the current Andar epic.

This week's prompt is, “The man spasmed against the snow. 'Gods, no! No! No sorcery'—'Hold him,' I said calmly, as he tried to leap up and run."

I had to cheat a little to make the scene fit my story.
