Re: Sanderson says Sweet finished a concept, but not the entire illustration. DomA Send a noteboard - 07/12/2011 08:17:11 PM
From Brandon's blog:

As a side note, people are wondering about the last Wheel of Time cover. Mr. Sweet did finish a concept, which I have seen, but did not finish the entire illustration. No decision has been made yet whether another artist will take this concept and do a final piece according to it, or if the book cover will be scrapped and a new concept done. I will let you know.


Yeah, it sounds like Harriet or Brandon had settle on an early idea for a scene they had Sweet propose concepts for, perhaps as I guessed this was for a scene RJ wrote or that Sanderson sent a synopsis or description of to give Sweet a headstart since he was sick and all (that would have been perfectly possible for a concept similar to TOM's for instance, there was zero chance that the scene already written by RJ for a long awaited event would change much or that the players involved would change).

Nothing yet about the passing of Darrel K Sweet? TaskmasterJack - 06/12/2011 12:45:36 AM 1896 Views
Sad to hear it. AMOL won't be the same without his art gracing the cover *NM* mogi67 - 06/12/2011 01:52:40 AM 373 Views
Yes, AMOL won't be the same. I guess we'll have to find someone else to do the cover beetnemesis - 06/12/2011 01:56:29 PM 774 Views
I'm wondering if he's got MOST of it done, if they'll just have someone finish. LadyLorraine - 06/12/2011 04:21:09 PM 825 Views
And the new artist will find the task too daunting and split it into THREE covers! *NM* Cannoli - 06/12/2011 04:52:38 PM 349 Views
lol. actually, I don't think I'd mind that. I would frame them and put them on the wall all together *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/12/2011 05:41:28 PM 427 Views
I think I was too subtle. I really, really dislike the WoT covers beetnemesis - 06/12/2011 07:10:25 PM 733 Views
Not really "errors" just "wtf is going on, who are these people, what does this have to do with WoT? *NM* Marshall - 06/12/2011 07:57:16 PM 325 Views
no, i read you I was just curious in general if they would have someone "finish" them instead. *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/12/2011 02:34:54 AM 288 Views
I don't think he has even started DomA - 07/12/2011 12:03:43 PM 875 Views
fair enough, thanks *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/12/2011 02:22:43 PM 308 Views

Whoops, I was thinking LE Modesitt and wondering why this was here. Cannoli - 06/12/2011 04:15:07 AM 787 Views

I generally found a book with a Sweet cover worth reading. Ghavrel - 06/12/2011 09:37:27 PM 653 Views
Yeah, I remember back in the day thinking a new WoT book was out when I saw Modesitt's covers.. TaskmasterJack - 07/12/2011 12:25:50 AM 913 Views
Is it wrong of me to to think "I hope he didn't already do the cover art for AMoL?" *NM* Dark Knight - 06/12/2011 07:07:15 PM 335 Views
It's certainly too bad he died, but I can't say I'll miss his...er..."distinctive" cover art ßelals Girl - 06/12/2011 07:30:02 PM 763 Views
Framing? *NM* Cannoli - 06/12/2011 10:33:14 PM 296 Views
RIP Darrel. Tor should put whatever Sweet had done so far on the cover of AMOL. Narg - 07/12/2011 06:15:51 AM 676 Views
