My sketch for the sun (yeah, this a pre-Copernican cosmology where we were still at the center and they thought the sun was a planet).
And the final. It was originally going to be yellower, but I ended up putting in the ocean... Some of them will be more straightforward images of planets (like Jupiter), while others like this will more Narnia-themed snowglobes, showing events and symbols from one of the books.I highly recommend Planet Narnia; I read/skimmed it for research and it is fascinating. For really.

What is your final verdict on Planet Narnia? Are you "convinced" by his argument?
Acutally, I should go back and ask a few other questions first. Have you always been a big reader of Narnia, and did you have your own ideas/interpretations first? Now what do you think of Michael Ward's?
Let me praise your illustrations again here; thanks!
I haven't been able to fathom how some people haven't been convinced.
Anyway, the sun counts as a planet because it is a wandering "star" (i.e., celestial body) as opposed to the fixed stars. All the planets (the word means "wanderer") are stars.
