The cover for the "A Crown of Swords" ebook...
« on: April 08, 2010, 06:20:22 PM »
...may be my favorite one, so far.  And that's saying something considering how much I love the one for "The Shadow Rising", "The Fires of Heaven" and "Lord of Chaos". 

I love Lan and Nynaeve, and the moment pictured is such an important one to their story, not to mention important to Nynaeve, personally. 

I really hope that Tor makes a calendar or something for all the artwork for the ebooks.

I like this one too! 
Lan in this picture looks surprisingly like how I picture him in my head.  Although, I think of him as a little bit 'thicker' in the face.  Nice though...really nice!

I love this kind of art!

My favorite new cover is still The Great Hunt. :) But the new one is pretty cool too.
I could have been a contender.
If there is a 50/50 chance you'll get right there is a 90% chance you get it wrong.

From Tor.com, here's a magical mystical web-type thingy *waves hand vaguely* that shows the artist's process in creating the final product. 

*hopes this works*

That worked for me...awesome!

Although, I have to admit that Nyneave (in my head) isn't that pretty.  Nyneave is a very pretty woman...but, this girl looks too nice to have a temper like Nyneave's.  :-)

I don't know...

The way the artist added the arch to her eyebrow in about the third frame... that speaks volumes to me... that even semi-conscious, half-drowned, she is still contemplating her options or her fate or whatever.  A tiny detail, but it really resonated with me as evidence of her strong will.
