Narrative Illustration book

For my Narrative Illustration I have chosen to illustrate Frank Herbert's Dune for it has been one of the most well thought out Science Fiction stories I've ever read and brought my interest into Sci Fi and Fantasy. I chose this to illustrate a few from the book in my style and make the characters into whatever I wish them to look in, but as long as these illustrations relate to the book that is most important thing for the module.

About the story:
Dune is a series that takes place in the distant future where an interstellar empire ruled by Great Houses and depend on a desert planet Arrakis which is also known as 'Dune' with the most valuable substance in the known universe; Spice. The Spice melange, which is vital for space travel for the Imperium. The book focuses on a young Atreides Heir whose family was sent to Arrakis by the Emperor until they were attacked by their hated enemies, House Harkonnen to claim the spice themselves and possibly ascend to the Golden Throne.

What everyone knows about Arrakis/Dune is it's inhabited by a society of nomadic humans called the Fremen and the giant sandworms. The humans on the planet somehow able to survive on the harsh deserts and coexist with the worms. Everything on the planet has spice in it: the food, water, deserts, the air and even in worms. The planet becomes a battlefield between the natives to take back their homes from the Harkonnens until the Emperor made his journey to the planet to deal with the situation. Paul, now calling himself Muad'Dib launches an attack on them and defeated his enemies, thus proclaiming himself as the new Emperor of the known universe.

Characters:

• Paul Atreides: Paul is the heir to the House Atreides whose family had moved from their homeworld to the planet Arrakis starts having these visions that soon become clear about his destiny and the connections to Dune and then begins a revolution against the Harkonnen regime on Dune, becoming a messiah to the people as "Muad'Dib" who would liberate the natives to freedom. 

• Baron Harkonnen: A cruel tyrant who is the Baron of Hous Harkonnen

• Fremen: The Fremen are a nomadic tribe that have these blue eyes after breathing in the spice, those who are born on the planet only get them when they reached puperty or at a young age. 

• Spacing Guild: The guild is the most reliable organization for the Empire to travel and expand their territories in the known universeconsist of those who have higher sense to travel through spice with the help of the spice that mutates them, extending their lifespans, thought and power. The Navigators turn into less human after thousands of years of exposing themselves to the Spice.

• Chani: a Fremen born on Dune and love interest of Paul/Muad'Dib.
• Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam: ABene Gesserit  who runs an organization for women to use their powers. She trained Jessica Atreides who became the concubine of Leto Atreides and gave birth to Paul instead of having a daughter. She is secretly Jessica's mother and joined a conspiracy to kill Paul and the end to the House Atreides.

Plans to illustrate the story:

Having chose Dune to illustrate I would first read most of the book to illustrate, get a clear idea on what Im gonna draw, know what the characters look and make them different in my own design so I would show I did research on the novel.
