Fernando Crôtte's latest update for Mission 51

May 28, 2016

Wow!! Mission 51 just keeps getting better and better!!

I am thrilled to announce another artistic collaboration!

Chris Pyke is a fabulous artist from the UK, who has agreed to render his superb line art for Mission 51. His study of the written material is meticulous. His choice of moment, framing, angle of presentation, and especially the integrity with the story, are simply amazing!

The first piece from Chris is a moment from the chapter called The Crash. Here is the image and an excerpt:


From The Crash:

Finally they reached the top of a ridge, very close to their destination. Through the binoculars they could see a depression at the top of the next ridge, where the last of the dust continued to fall. There were large rocks to the west of the depression, obviously part of the shattered mountain top. But whatever caused it did not stop there. From their vantage point, they could see down into the lower lands of the valley further to the west. Juan pointed out to Juanito a long, dark streak in the land, heading northwest, in the direction of whatever it was they saw flash by overhead. In the far distance, they could see a rising tower of black, billowing smoke. They looked at each other, worried and wildly curious at the same time. Juanito pointed, “Vámos, Papi. Yá!”

Awesome!!

Thank you, Chris Pyke, and welcome to the Mission 51 creative team!
