I don't like any of the pics.
It cheapens the imagination, imho.
Even if it's accurate it's too cluttered and has too many levels.
This one and the one below it just look dumb:
But I fully admit it's better than anything I could do!

Okay, here's some more pics, this time from Realms of Fantasy by Malcolm Edwards and Robert Holdstock:
Andelain
Coercri
Foul's Creche
Kevins' Watch
Coercri is spliced because the bloody drawing is on 2 pages; Andelain and Foul's Creche were also 2 pages, but luckily they were also on the back of the dustjacket, which is what I scanned.

I appreciate the artist's effort, so I don't want to be too hard on him (besides, I'm starved for any kind of Chronicles artwork). But...yes, Mhoram and Satansfist do look odd. And is that some kind of albino Ranyhyn behind the Giant-Raver?
I also have that Realms of Fantasy book that dAN scanned the pics from. Very cool book. The accompanying essay on Donaldson is also informative. In fact, I think that piece was where I first learned that SRD had a possible Covenant story kicking around after the Second Chronicles.
The book also has wonderful art and essays on Middle-Earth, Earthsea, Gormenghast, Urth (for all you Gene Wolfe fans), and other realms. If you see this book in a used bookstore, grab it!

A quick look through LM'sV suggests Drinny was brown, not white. After Mhoram whistles and waits, "he saw a dull brown movement making its way toward him out of the mountains." Unless he was too much in the shadows to be anything but brown or gray.

Doesn't the steps on Kevin's Watch go around the pillar?
Just always the way i pictured it in my head, as more of steep stairs instead of a ladder. Must have been something I read to put that there in my mind, or I've always been crazy.
Yeah I thought it was extremely steep and winding with more rough-hewn stairs (though not around the pillar.) I also pictured a larger top. Then again it's been a few years since I read the description of it in Lord Foul's Bane.Buckarama wrote:Peven wrote:uh, no, i don't think so. what gave you that idea?Buckarama wrote:Since we are being picky

When you have a column that is 1000 feet high, how could the stairs not wrap around? the graphic doesnt make any sense, it looks more like a ladder there. I always thought they wrapped.. I looked at LFB's description, it doesnt seem to say.
