I had the cover immediately in mind when I read the challenge. The idea with the viruses came to me only when reading the story. But to do that, I first had to design a virus. So it took hours of research on the Internet. I looked at many known viruses and created a new virus from them. Then I read all the chapters again and made notes on the virus development and the course of the whole pandemic. I like to read myself how artists create their fan art and why they did this or that. It gives me a much deeper insight into the art and the history. With my fan art, I also thought about everything for a long time and every single detail is connected to the story. That's what I wanted to share.
