She suggested a painting of King Tut’s mask against a field of stars, but I didn’t like that idea because I was afraid it would lead the viewers to think it was some sort of time-travel story. I persuaded her to let me try to adapt my original idea to the new requirements, and that is how the present illustration came about. 7/8
