On the back of a saddled Martian bird, John Carter flies above a barren red landscape with the horizon tilted at a steep angle. His arms are spread wide as he grips reins in one hand and a rapier in the other. Dejah Thoris has a worried expression as she holds him around his waist. The bird twists with its eyes and beak pointing in a different direction than rider, giving a disorienting change in motion. Behind flies Tars Tarkas on his own winged mount. An elegant city with high reaching spires and onion-shaped peaks sits in the distance framed by a huge moon. Another smaller moon hangs bright in the gray blue sky.

A silhouette of a baby rendered in hazy blues is laid over the planet Jupiter with only a sliver of stormy surface showing against starry space. An obelisk filled with stars is positioned over both—transparent where it overlays the baby's eyes and nose. A long slender spaceship with spherical nose section dominates the foreground. Pointed away from the planet and positioned within reach of Starchild's clasped hands, the ship resembles a baby rattle.

An alien in silver spacesuit and fishbowl helmet cradles the naked body of a human male. Large oblong eyes, red with slitted pupils, weigh heavy. Despite it's alien features, including lumpy green skin, short facial tentacles and a lack of lower jaw, it's expression evokes care and grief. A starfield can be seen in a large viewport just behind it. The stars surrounding a spherical black body shimmer red.

A woman in a blue denim jumpsuit stands in front of a view of space as seen through a gold trimmed porthole. The central zipper of her outfit is drawn down to her waist exposing bare skin. Her short cropped, sandy blonde hair has a slight curl. Her eyes reflect vibrant blue set in a gaze directly forward. The silhouette of a planet can be seen in the round viewport behind her. A star emerges from behind the planet and flares above her right shoulder. A moon with bright crescent highlight hangs over her left shoulder.
