Hello all! The Professor Odd Season Three Kickstarter launched last week, and every day since May 1st I’ve been featuring a cover illustration from the book. These have been a long time in the making, and I’m excited to share them with you at last!
Today I am finally revealing the full cover art for Professor Odd: The Complete Season Three. Here it is:
Beyond the bounds of the universe, in the formless, endless nowhere between worlds, there is a place that is somewhere. An anomaly of something in the nothing. It is part ship, part house, and it can create portals to almost anywhere. Its inhabitants call it the Oddity.
Professor Odd: The Complete Season Three
A strange woman lives in the Oddity. Her name is Professor Odd, and she is a seasoned multiversal explorer. Her best friend lives there too. Her name is Elo, and she looks like a golden wolf—except she can stand on her hind legs and speak like a human. There is also Alister, a former university student who fled his home world when the sinister Canary Company marked him for elimination. And until recently there was Dave, the ten-armed, one-eyed, bright green tentacle monster with impressive knowledge of the multiverse. But in the fight for control of the Canary Company Dave vanished, leaving only an enigmatic message in psychoactive slime.
Now the Professor, Elo and Alister are on a mission to find their missing friend. But in an “almost infinite” multiverse filled with hidden variables, incorrigibly curious aliens and surprisingly significant bees, nothing is for certain and everything is more than it first appears—even the one place they all thought they knew inside and out: the Oddity itself.
Original art is… not for sale. But! Deluxe giclée prints are currently available through the Kickstarter campaign, and as of this posting there is one (1) limited edition signed giclée still available.
Created with colored pencils on 18″x24″ illustration paper from September to November of 2022, here’s glimpse of the progression:
But wait—it gets bigger.
Because this is a wraparound cover for a hardback dust jacket, I also needed art for the flaps. So over Christmas I did a couple extra pieces, and then stitched it all together in Pixelmator. So here is the complete cover for The Complete Season Three (hint: best viewed on a desktop monitor with as wide a browser window as possible):
