The drawing shows one of Saara Mar's aircars (with an older stripe style), with Saara in the driver's seat. She drifts above a part ofher own planet called The Eaten Lands, a large badlands similar to those in South Dakota. (The name comes from a colourful origin story in which the rocks were partly eaten by giants.) It may not be obvious, but it's a 360 degree view -- look at the reflection in the silver spaceship's side. Note too there are two suns - a close binary.

I didn't want my planet doing loop the loops or having a "year" that changed constantly, so what I did was posit the two mid F spectrotype suns to be nearly contact stars. Their life expectancy might be a little low, but they are also fairly young, and what's a few hundred million years less to a mere civilization that might only last thousands? The proximity of the two suns is why they appear so close together -- they'd tend to have a uniform lumnosity as well, since they don't often eclipse. And there'd be a fairly uniform duration of days and nights, differing only by minutes either way.
