Very inspiring cover...Aside from the awesome creature design (you can really feel a sense of the size and weight of the beast), the tag at the bottom right, "Heavy Planet Design" makes me want to read this for research purposes. Excellent.
That is a great beastie, isn't it? The thing is they don't list the artist's name anywhere. It looks like Darrell K. Sweet's style, but I don't know if he ever did covers for Analog.
Where's my head? The cover is by John Schoenherr who did several of the internal illustrations too. He's credited right there on the isfdb page I linked to.
