IMO, the more it looks like D&D, the better to attribute the art to other fantasy settings. Bookwyrm Send a noteboard - 11/08/2010 04:54:35 PM
I don't like to pigeon-hole fantasy art to one specific fantasy world/setting. I like to imagine it can be for other settings, like the world of Belgariad (David Eddings), Lord of the Isles (David Drake), hell, even Shannara.

As for Semi, I can see the dusky colorings of her face match the tones on her hands, even through the shadowy veil. That's no easy feat, as you can see the veil is of a different shade altogether.

And for Rand's pose, it seems pretty spot on to me. I just reread chapter 27 of KoD, and nowhere did it describe the ball of flame as multicolored. And Rand told Min to stay behind him as he got off his horse, so her placement could be correct. At least the artist got the correct hand wielding the Dragon Scepter raised towards the attack.
BOHICA - Go ahead, ask me what it means.

A lot of continuity errors... - 11/08/2010 02:34:48 AM 930 Views
Ummm, didn't Min grow out her hair during her stay in the White Tower? unless she cut it afterwards. - 11/08/2010 06:46:46 AM 939 Views

The smoke around Semi could represent the Mirror of Mists being dissolved by Caddy/Ny's ter'angreal. *NM* - 11/08/2010 07:24:15 PM 426 Views

I don't like it. My least favorite of the e-book covers *NM* - 11/08/2010 06:56:20 AM 289 Views
For being an action shot, all the characters look awfully stiff. - 11/08/2010 08:48:36 PM 642 Views
Not my favorite new cover, but still better than the original. *NM* - 12/08/2010 07:36:41 PM 339 Views
