Astrocats meet the Stowaway

A mock cover for a children’s graphic novel concept.

Cats in Space!

I wanted the cover of “Astrocats Meet the Stowaway” to feel mysterious and a little scary. This story would involve the Astrocats exploring the spaceship after it malfunctions, and they discover they are not alone.

I set the perspective at a Dutch angle with a slight fisheye effect and kept the characters backlit to add to the creepy feeling. The stowaway’s eyes are visible to the audience but the cats haven’t seen them yet.

I wanted the title text to be in perspective with the ground plane, in the elevator light.
