Gethen
The first illustration from my series Worlds. Gethen, the planet on which the story of The Left Hand of Darkness (Ursula K. Le Guin) takes place, has been a great inspiration to me. Aside from the book making a great impact on me, the internal visualisation of the world of Gethen reverberated in my work ever since I read about it. I've made countless sketches trying to get that 'something' that's been stuck in my mind ever since, and I've realised that it will never happen, and so, I decided to start the Worlds series.
Other illustrations in this series are:
Arrakis - Dune, Frank Herbert, 1965
Regis III - The Invincible, Stanisław Lem, 1964
Fomalhaut II - Rocannon's World, Ursula Le Guin, 1966

Other works which are not exactly in the Worlds series, but have played an important development role. Recurring arctic theme is linked directly to Gethen.
