My fantasy illustrations in 1976 weren't all from Corelli. I enjoyed and depicted the works of many other fantasists especially Michael Moorcock and Jack Vance. These characters are from THE DRAGON MASTERS by Jack Vance. In this book, set far in a desolate future of perpetual war, intelligent dinosaurs genetically engineer men into super-soldiers, while humans perpetrate the same genetic twists on the reptilian adversary. Each one of these has been created for a single purpose, from fighting to tracking to demolition.
