Chrysalis 4 by Clyde Caldwell (1979)

Painted in 1979 by Clyde Caldwell, "Chrysalis 4" served as the paperback cover illustration for the science fiction anthology Chrysalis 4, edited by Roy Torgeson and published by Zebra Books/Kensington Publishing Corp. Representing Caldwell's early freelance illustration work prior to joining TSR, the mixed-media acrylic and airbrush painting showcases a futuristic, manta-winged scout vessel cruising across a surreal alien world past a broken, horned humanoid monument emerging from strange waters beneath a cosmic, multi-mooned sky.
