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 tall spires and onion-shaped peaks sits in the distance framed by a huge moon. Another smaller moon hangs bright in the gray blue sky.

Figure detail from JOHN CARTER OF MARS featuring Tars Tarkas riding on the back of a saddled Martian bird. He is a green Martian with four arms, anatomically one torso stacked on another. He holds the reins with his lower hand and a long rapier above it. Behind him, an elegant city with tall spires and onion shaped peaks sits on the titled horizon with a full moon behind it.

Figure detail from JOHN CARTER OF MARS featuring John Carter and Dejah Thoris on the back of a saddled Martian bird. He is pale in comparison to the red tone of her skin. Her hand reaches around resting suggestively on his hip. He wears only a loincloth, belt with decorative filigree, and a harness that crosses his chest in an X with a large crest reminiscent of an eagle with wings and tail plumage spread.

Figure study from JOHN CARTER OF MARS featuring the hero flying on the back of a Martian bird. His cape flaps freely in the wind because Deja Thoris is absent. He holds the reins in one hand and a long rapier in the other. In the upper right of the paper, there are two faces sketched, one looser than the other.
