Sherba – Arakian Trakker Hound (1989)

Sherba – Arakian Trakker Hound (Aug 1989). Poster paint on plain paper.

If memory serves me, I think “Sherba – Arakian Trakker Hound” (Aug 1989) was inspired by reading Frank Herbert’s “Dune”. Somewhere in the novel, there was something about tracker hounds being set upon Paul Atreides (please correct me if I’m wrong about this).

UPDATE: Submitted this post for Illustration Friday, “Monster” topic (25 Mar 2006). Yeah, I realise it might be a cop-out ‘cos this piece was done some time ago… Let’s see if I get any comments.

What you are thinking of is from God Emperor of Dune, the D-wolves. In Children of Dune, Paul Atreides’s children are tracked and attacked by laza tigers. This is accoridng to my husband who is a big fan of the series. I only read the first two, they are full of cool images, I like the one you chose.

Yes, this is a real creeper, with a hint of a grin on his face.

Creepy. Nice job!

Thanks for all the comments! Didn’t expect any 🙂
Kaya — I’ll take your husband’s word for it. I’m not really a fan of the Dune series beyond the first book. He might be right. I read a few of the Dune sequels and it must’ve stayed in my memory.
