A high-quality, melodramatic 1980s romance novel book cover illustration
painted in a classic oil style. The central figure is a rugged, hyper-muscular
reimagining of Hank Hill, depicted as a stoic warrior-lover. He features a
chiseled jawline, glistening ripped abs, and subtle chest scars, while still
wearing his iconic square-rimmed glasses. He is clad in a shredded, sleeveless
button-down work shirt and tattered denim jeans, effortlessly hoisting a heavy
Strickland Propane tank onto his left shoulder like a heroic weapon.
Clinging passionately to his leg is Peggy Hill, portrayed as a swooning heroine.
She wears a torn, vintage blue dress and gazes up at Hank with an expression of
intense adoration and longing. The setting is a dramatic, rocky cliff edge in a
vast American Southwest desert canyon (resembling Arlen's outskirts) during a
fiery golden hour sunset. The sky is a swirl of deep oranges, purples, and
dramatic clouds.
The lighting is soft, warm, and painterly, evoking the style of Fabio romance
covers. Elegant, embossed gold serif typography at the top reads "PROPANE
PASSION." A smaller, dramatic caption floats in the middle left reading: "She
wanted the heat... but he gave her the meat."
