Summary: Four Torchwood pulp fiction novel covers. Various characters.

I had so much fun making these. They're all existing pulp novel covers with real titles and taglines; I just changed the art. Torchwood + pulp seems a foregone conclusion, to me. Before I started I had just intended to be clever with using relevant titles, but after just the first (I, Robot) I realised that they had the potential not just to make a clever reference, but make a whole new story. I mean, yes, I have done art analysis up the wazoo, so I knew this already, but I am so delighted at how much can be construed from such a simple set of words and visual tropes.

In summary: I am totally making more fanart. I adore it.

I love them so much!!! Y R TALINTD.

:D TYVM!!

These are awesome!

Thank you!!

You are such a weirdo. In a good way.

Or just in a scary way.

I'll take both compliments, thanks!

The are so cool! It's hard to pick a favourite. I love the coffee rings on Shameless Game, especially, but I do think Hart-the-Robot is awesome.

Yay! Ino, I want to READ THESE BOOKS! <3

Wow! These are fantastic!

These are great!

Thanks!

I especially love Shameless Game!

That TW promo shot was pretty sexy on its own! :D

OMG THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.

Cheers :D

*loves*

May I download and incorporate into altered art for friends? Or shall I just admire from a distance? Either is good.

If it would be useful to grab these ones and chop and change, go ahead! It might be more rewarding to peruse originals, though?

Here are my source sites:

Judge a book... by its cover, Vintage Octopus Pulp Covers!, Pulp SF covers that channel pure ID.

Thanks for asking <3

Lol Dude, this is really awesome.
Really, really awesome!

Cheers! Glad you like :)

:D Thank you!!

Oh, my. I *love* these. Linked to you on Twitter, which I hope is okay (I have a small and nice readership).

Link away!

Thank you!

Oh man, these are fantastic. Well done!

Thank you so much! :D

These are fabulous, great!!

Thank you!

is it acceptable to download these and use them as computer desktop?

Certainly! Help yourself :D

Those are so cool.

I loff these! I don't know TW, but I loff these!

:D Thank you! I suppose there's an extra layer to it if you get the elbow-nudge references in there, but yay! You loff my art!!

Here via your self-rec post, and WOW. These are amazing. In particular, the I, Robot cover gives me chills; what a fantastic counterpoint to Asimov's three laws. Just brilliant.

I absolutely love these! Especially The X-Machine. The art for that one is so striking. Thank you for self-reccing so I could have a chance to see them!

Thanks so much!
