GotM I'll give you. That was a truly horrendous cover. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 09:41:07 PM
After GotM they got a new artist (Toddwood), and he does fantastic stuff. He's a genius with color, and he's been painting full, and vibrant, scenes for the books.

I'm extremely dissapointed that they're using the UK covers in the US now. They're better that GotM's US cover, but that's about the best I can say for them. Utterly generic and unremarkable in every way comes to mind.

Ultimately they're just covers, but as a fantasy art junkie I really enjoyed Todd Lockwood's stuff.


EDIT: Here's some of the covers:

Toll the Hounds: http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/new_art/05/toll.shtml

Reaper's Gale: http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/new_art/04/reaper.shtml

Memories of Ice: http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/new_art/01/memories_of_ice.shtml

And my favorite, House of Chains: http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/new_art/02/house_chains.shtml
