Illustration Artist Statement

 

This Illustration is representing the external and internal conflict the

character Lyman Rohdel is experiencing in my story The Last Translator.  In the story, Lyman is frozen in present time and wakes up in the future to find that aliens have destroyed Earth and he is the last human alive.  Lyman then meets an alien nation that's fighting against the same aliens that had destroyed Earth, and Lyman has the opportunity to avenge his home planet.  In my illustration, I am showing Earth looming over Lyman.  Lyman has the opportunity to avenge his home planet, and he is wondering if he is physically and mentally capable of the task before him.
