Alan, no, there's no challenge. This is the cover. The monitor will be on the front and the pair on the back. That's why the area above the monitors is empty - for the title. The image is also a bit too big, to allow for cropping during the printing, something like 1-2 centimetres. And the image is intentionally misleading. The arachnid is not opening their doors. They are observing it from a planetoid in the orbit above the arachnids' planet. :-) But I do agree that the face is too bland, so beside working on an expression, I'm going to use the handheld idea, too. I owe you a beer. Of course, I'm going to further work on the lights. BTW, her hair is killing me - I put Blend transparency on it and the render time soars from 5 minutes to an hour and a half, even without antialiasing, like this. The current image is 1240 by 950. I dread the final render which has to be four times as big.
