I crudely traced the outline of the "authentic" pixel Dreadnought and applied a simple gradient to it. I think it looks very good. The great part is that it can be retro and modern at the same time.

Alvarin, that was an excellent idea! The "outline only" approach is definitely the best candidate I have so far.

Here's the rough version of what I thought the cover should look like. I'm still in the process of figuring out if the Dreadnought needs some filtering.

I toyed around with your image and also the original pixel art. I thought that the original unmodified pixel art image actually looked great on the cover page, BUT... I'm afraid that using pixel art would have once and for all categorized this whole project as a "game-related spin-off for ultra-geek...

Thanks, it's at least something to work with. I couldn't open the file with Photoshop though and saving it as a png left it with some pesky white borders.

I'm talking about the icon of the Ur-Quan Masters exe, with the Dreadnought. Spoiler alert! I need it for the cover page of Eterna...

I appreciate your thoughts, Alvarin. I can only assure you that the same person has written all the parts. There might be a different feeling simply because there was so much time between writing parts II and III. I wrote almost all of part III this summer while part II was finished in August 2015 i...

Had same problem with several items there already

You should try some Israeli book store then. They should be able to order it if they don't show it on their catalog.
