Glad, Gritty Sonny Radd

Glad, Gritty Sonny Radd started as a portrait sketch of a courageous, gritty, leading man and hero who narrowly survived the Faith War, only to be faced with even greater challenges. This is chronicled as part of my new sci-fi novel, "Star Chosen." Also prominently depicted in this drawing is the Ezekiel City, a shape-shifting starship.
