CHANUR’S BREAKOUT (1991)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” X 22”

An opportunity to paint C.J. Cherryh’s catlike Hani was always welcome. I was fortunate to have done several covers for this popular series, yet for CHANUR’S LEGACY I came up with more new concepts than ever before. 1/5

@rebane2001 One can hope. Until then we have The #Chanur novels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chanur_novels

Who remembers the #Chanur series of #scifi #books? Cat people and a hapless kidnapped human? The dastardly kif? Leslie Fish wrote a #filk song about it? Been re-reading them lately. The cover art is certainly...of the period. :KD

C J Cherryh, #Cyteen. Also the #Chanur books, Serpent's Reach, Downbelow Station, Foreigner, Alliance Rising, Cuckoo's Egg. (All of her Alliance-Union books are in the same universe, just...not obviously so.) Some of her books have been translated and you'll be able to find French-language versions, others have not.

The #Chanur Saga. Things in this sector of space are going reasonably well, six species dominate, four O2 breathers and two/three (if you count the Chi) methane breathers coexist with some stress. At the beginning of the saga House Chanur encounters an alien while docked at a station, ethics trap the familial crew into a situation with rather large implications.
Seriously solid #SciFi here. The books shown capture a five book series and the individual books are much cheaper to buy, just an #fyi
