Chris Achilléos

[5] His work has appeared in Heavy Metal and Radio Times magazines, on book covers (including series based on the Conan the Barbarian character, TV's Doctor Who[6] and Star Trek,[7] as well as the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series),[8] and in collections of his own work.He has also participated in various film projects including Heavy Metal and Willow as a conceptual artist,[6] (his iconic poster image commissioned in 1980 featuring Taarna and her birdlike steed are still featured on the DVD release)[9] and created a proposed poster for Blade Runner.[10] Achilléos created the controversial cover for Whitesnake's 1979 album, Lovehunter, which showed a naked woman straddling a giant serpent.[12] However, he designed an album cover and artwork in 2003 with Gary Hughes' rock opera Once and Future King Part I.[13] His influence was also felt in the Kate Bush video for "Babooshka", in which the character's costume resembles the cover portrait he did of the heroine of the 1978 novel Raven - Swordsmistress of Chaos.
