Fatal Revenant US cover.

Interesting. I see Palencar went for one of his apparent favourites: "person up against tree".

Ah, I see the cover is now public.

And now I can finally publically say...I hate it. Heh.

Yeah, I know some of you like this guy's work, but I can't stand it.

Plus, like Murrin said, all of his work looks the same.

I mean, come on, that's the same picture as this one:

Boo for Palencar.

Oh well. At least the old dude in the picture isn't showing his ass.-jay

...yeah I think SRD and half of the Watchers said, "Hey look it's Gandalf!" at Elohimfest...

As much as I do appreciate the artistry - we got hosed on this cover.

I want to know what SRD thinks about it.

dudes. its the best cover yet

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2007 6:41 pm**

This one's hot.

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2007 6:44 pm**

Yeah, Jay, it's basically the same image.

I like it.
Have no idea who it is suppose to be, but the style is nice.
For fans who sill buy the book regardless, it means little.
For those who have not yet read him, it might bring a few around to take a look.

Whoever he is, he looks like he could be holding the staff of law...

Spoiler

Perhaps it is Anele?

There are no heels on the staff.

It's better than I expected, but I wish I knew who it was supposed to be. Is it Covenant? It is Anele? Is it a Forestal? Is that a half-hand? Is the staff supposed to be the Staff of Law? If it is, it is wrong? If it isn't, why isn't it? haha

Oh well. Perhaps we'll get SRD's input on it soon.

It's not Gandalf, it's SARUMAN!!!!

Hmmmm... So I think it's one of the best covers SRD's had. It's different, it's eye catching (lighter colours!), and well so he (...who ever "he" is on the cover...

) does look like a LOTR clone but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It "does it" for me!!!

But my ultimate gripe is...where's the butt!?!?!??! (And I'm with you dlb. That pic is HOT).

Nah, I don't like it. And yeah Sea, that's who I thought it was at first. Luckily, I'll get the UK edition. Anybody know what that cover art looks like?

Forestal that Linden meets sometime in the past.

Expecting a cover art artists to get things correct is asking a hell of a lot.

I concede the point, though. Still, it is, atleast, the right kind of wood colour for the Staff of Law.

Maybe not.

Spoiler

It could be the person or personna that affects TC that are discussed in other threads?
