A full-body, pin-up girl portrait of a space fairy in a flowing, lemon-drop yellow and gold, flecked, metallic dress, inspired by the Women's Forward Tunic ensembles, adorns the center of a heavy metal comic book cover. The subject's hair flows like the Milky Way behind her and is woven with crystals that resemble sparkling stars. Her delicate, porcelain skin glows as if kissed by the luminescence of celestial bodies. The color scheme is composed of radiant blues and blacks that seem to emanate an eerie glow, reminiscent of a galaxy at dusk. In the background, a gradient of turquoise and indigo hues signify the deep expanse of space, seamlessly blending into an embroidered pattern of constellation maps on the fairy's gown. Across the lower third of the painting, large, illustrative typography in metallic silver font announces the title of the comic book: "Moonlit Missile," while the artist's signature in crimson red is confined to one of the above corners. Drawing inspiration from the fashion designs of 1960s-era space age advertising and the fantastical, timid and exposed nature of manga and mecha anime, this piece is a blend of manga, retro-futurism, Women's Progress, Western show killer and mystical submissions of award-winning science writer Joyce Brand.
