The red spear-of-the-dragon style head-band Sweet had given Perrin previously and Mat here is apparently one of the mistakes Harriet has asked Sweet to correct on the cover (if they go with that cover - they're apparently not sure yet they're gonna go with this painting/scene at all). This should have been Mat's classic hat. Another acknowledged mistake is apparently depicting Jain on the right as much younger than he is. The triangle on the door is also drawn upside down from Olver's instructions. The Tower shouldn't be in the woods either, Mat and Perrin both saw it in the middle of a field.
I know Sanderson has said that authors usually don't have much input when it comes to cover art, but seriously if they have to go back and ask Sweet to scrap this, it really makes me wonder why the authors don't have more input on what the cover looks like in the first place.

Still pretty b(l)a(n)d. I guess Noal Charin is on the right, standing at the door.

It looks like Donatello and Raphael are watching some dude draw in the forest.

Why does Matt look like a fatheaded oaf with a headband? And apparently Naol uses Just For Men *NM*
