Titanic's Last Departure I

On 14 April 2250 the luxury interstellar passenger liner Titanic departed from its orbit around Van de Kamp gas giant orbiting the Barnard's Star, back towards the Earth. A couple of minutes after jumping to the FTL speed she hit an uncharted ice asteroid. The energy shield saved the ship from an instant annihilation but it exploded 20 minutes after the accident, killing the majority of the passanger and the crew. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the spaceship did not carry enough rescue pods for everyone aboard.

Six years after the accident, Earth received a digital radio pattern, containing a series of various holograms from the ship. The images were taken during the cruise, some of them only moments before the tragic departure, probably by a news-droid.

I need an illustration to be used on a book cover. A woman, mid-20s, cute, the girl next door type, green eyes, sandy brown hair two inches past her shoulders wearing a short-sleeve crimson work jumpsuit. She has a tattoo "5785644-ITN" running up the outside of her right forearm. The view would be a profile of her looking out a window on a spaceship at a star cluster or spiral galaxy with the tattoo visible. I do have the job posted on another site and have sent an inquiry as to how to post it here. However, I saw your work and wanted to see if you would be interest. I will own all rights to the work, but the artist will be credited for the illustration. If you are interested let me send me a note along with fee, number revisions included, the file format(s) and resolution the illustration will be delivered in, and your timeline for completion. Thanks, cbrummer7@gmail.com

I LOVE the Titanic! My future "sequel" of 'Titanic' would take place a hundred years from the original disaster, in the year 2112!
