As I continue to bring my forthcoming novel, Planet of Eden, to life, I’m experimenting with various forms of art that will play an important role in enhancing and marketing the book. One of the latest creations comes from my friend Ron Warne, who’s a famous cartoonist. Ron and I have worked together on a few other projects, so I knew his cartooning style and appreciated his fun approach to creating characters.

At first, Ron was hesitant to apply his craft to what I initially described as a serious publishing project, being concerned that his light style would be a strange fit. But I convinced him that I needed all sorts of different artwork, including cartoons, and that I knew he could produce what was in my imagination. Ron agreed to give it a try, and the image on this page is one example of what he produced.

Here, we have another interpretation of Eah, one of the main characters in Planet of Eden. As I described in a previous blog post, Eah is an alien-human who has the ability to change her skin color at will. Her base color is either iridescent white or black, and she has bright green eyes and black knee-length hair with specks of blue throughout.

Eah and her people live on a planet called Hourou, located in the distant Tadpole Galaxy. Their home world is a true paradise; imagine the Garden of Eden spread across an entire planet. Like Adam and Eve, they live a near-perfect existence in a pure and flawless environment. Because of this, just like Creation’s first couple, they have no need for clothing. Women like Eah, however, do use their long hair for a covering when they catch a chill or are emotionally agitated.

There is a beautiful uncovered version of this art, too, but I’ve chosen not to post it out of respect for the different sensitivities of my followers and readers. That said, body image and body acceptance are two of the many themes you will encounter in Planet of Eden. Like the main characters from Earth who are accidentally taken to the planet Hourou, you will see a different society where the human body is respected, honored, and appreciated as the pinnacle of God’s good creation. The story will challenge you to compare how we view bodies in our culture with how they could and should be viewed from a higher and healthier perspective.

Are you ready for a fun ride to the Planet of Eden and more forms of Eden art? Me, too. So, I’d better get back to my final edits.

Thanks for reading, following, supporting, and…well…just being an incredible you!
