The real Saberoo

Bruce has been hard at work creating an actual Ice-saberoo for the cover of the upcoming novel The Milk Run. He graciously conceded to reading the first six chapters of the book so he could see it in context. You will remember my original version looked like an angry mouse:

 











Well, Bruce's rendering is vastly superior.
Bruce got every element right where mine look like a kindergartener's scribbles.

He got the "old-fashioned can opener" teeth right on. He got its bejeweled optical sensors, not really eyes, right on. He got the posture and attack position right. He even captured the essence of its infra-red sensors on its head and made them look very organic.

But most of all, he made it look fierce. That's what I want. A 7-foot tall predator, a cross between a saber-toothed tiger and a kangaroo that walks like a T-rex.

I can't wait until you meet him!
