Here’s a commission that I just completed for a patreon by the name of Adam Forrest.

Adam wanted me to illustrate a scene from the Adrian Tchaikovsky series Children of Time, or more specifically children of Ruin. It’s the scene where the crew are investigating a mysterious signal coming from a derelict space station, they run into an old environment suit which springs to life and goes for them, it’s puppeteered by an alien life form made up of black goo. I payed close attention to how the scene was described in the children of ruin, sticking as close to the text as I could, but innovating where there were gaps.

All of the designs are my own, as I couldn’t find any art online of what I was tasked with drawing online. If there are any fans of the Children of Time series here, let me know what you think.

Thank you so much to Adam for commissioning me to bring this scene to life for you, I appreciate the work 🙏🏻

Even without reading the description I recognised immediately that scene!! It reads very well, great job:)

Wow just read this book recently....amazing capture of the vibe of that terror scene....wish I saw more bio spiders and the humans....hopefully more Children of Time covers or such....have you read the books? They are unique and well done and great scifi, keeps me guessing, amazing stories.

Oh no way, I’m really happy to hear that I managed to capture the moment in that way. Thank you, Lukak!

What a coincidence! Thank you very much, I’m glad that you think that I captured the moment, Sean. I’m open to doing more Children of Time art if people would like to commission me to do so. I haven’t actually, I have only read the relevant passages to produce this piece, but I think I will add it to my to read list now because what I have read was very good.

Thank you, Nicolas! 🙏🏻 I did a lot of digging to find out how he is described in the book.

I made a lot of really undignified noises when I saw you'd done an illustration for one of the Children of Time books! This captures the mood perfectly (and is appropriately terrifying too)!
