Interesting... although I wonder- are the illustrations her fault? beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 09:15:45 PM
I remember that RJ and Harriet talked about how excited they were to get what's-his-name to do the covers. And most fans generally agree that the cover art is... sub-par, at best.

And then there are all the illustrations in the Big White Book, most of which are grossly inaccurate. I mean, if you're doing a picture of a character, wouldn't you think to write down what color her hair was?


So, I'm thinking that Harriet and the dear departed RJ have absolutely terrible taste in illustrators. Sanderson doesn't even like them- he's sort of hinted that he's not a big fan, but it wouldn't be right for him to criticize them as he once would have as a fan.

Let's hope she gets a better illustrator than the one they used for the BWB, is all I can say.
I amuse myself.

Please no, not a movie, anything but that. ANYTHING. *NM* AliasRY - 04/09/2009 09:39:23 AM 438 Views
There have been talks about licensing WoT content for an RPG or MMO. Hopefully not the latter... *NM* Zalis - 04/09/2009 03:14:48 AM 493 Views
I acctually think WOT would suit being turned into a MMO... I would love that. *NM* Milla - 04/09/2009 09:23:58 AM 569 Views
It would. I just don't think enough people would play it to make it good Deadsy - 04/09/2009 02:28:54 PM 971 Views
Kindle? Knightscape - 04/09/2009 08:33:07 AM 875 Views
That would make me happy. A big reason I haven't gotten one is 'cause WoT isn't on it *NM* Deadsy - 04/09/2009 02:29:21 PM 439 Views
