I've been imagining red Martians looking more similar to green martians because I would like if they looked more alien

Thuvia and her banths

Dejah is a princess so she has alot of gold and her body paint is blue to represent her kingdom

Michael Whelan's cover for Edgar Rice Burroughs' Thuvia, Maid of Mars, the fourth novel in the Barsoom series.

Whelan stated that he originally did not paint any clothes on Thuvia, keeping with Barsoomian tradition. Someone at Del Rey/Ballantine Books (the publisher that commissioned these covers) objected to the nudity. So Whelan used a quick daub of transparent gauche to cover her up. Whelan said the gauche would be easy to remove, if he were inclined to do so, without damaging the rest of the painting.

I like the one where Tars Tarkas is holding up his sword is framed as if the artist is trying to hide the Plant-Man's junk, despite Plant-Men not HAVING any.

Length: 859 words Classification: MSR Rating: General Audiences Spoilers: all things Favorite line: The wind smells like that, too, but also like earth, marble, and moss; like all the things it's blown past tonight, pale monuments and green lawns and maybe somewhere a smiling golden God with wide-open eyes.

Michael Whelan “Thuvia, Maid of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1979) Source (Whelan’s Bluesky)

“Detailed pencil study of Thuvia and the 8-legged Martian lion in the pose of the cover painting. In the upper right margin is a delicate line drawing of her face in profile as she turns to look over her shoulder.”

“I had to be careful with Thuvia, as everyone on Barsoom goes nude, and yet full-frontal nudity was unacceptable for the cover. By turning her away from the viewer, I thought I had this problem solved, but Lester Del Rey had me add the G-string. The rest of the painting is in acrylics, but I did that G-string in gouache in case I ever get the urge to wipe it off.”
