From Brandon's blog:
As a side note, people are wondering about the last Wheel of Time cover. Mr. Sweet did finish a concept, which I have seen, but did not finish the entire illustration. No decision has been made yet whether another artist will take this concept and do a final piece according to it, or if the book cover will be scrapped and a new concept done. I will let you know.

Yeah, it sounds like Harriet or Brandon had settle on an early idea for a scene they had Sweet propose concepts for, perhaps as I guessed this was for a scene RJ wrote or that Sanderson sent a synopsis or description of to give Sweet a headstart since he was sick and all (that would have been perfectly possible for a concept similar to TOM's for instance, there was zero chance that the scene already written by RJ for a long awaited event would change much or that the players involved would change).
Nothing yet about the passing of Darrel K Sweet?

Sad to hear it. AMOL won't be the same without his art gracing the cover *NM*

Yes, AMOL won't be the same. I guess we'll have to find someone else to do the cover

I'm wondering if he's got MOST of it done, if they'll just have someone finish.

And the new artist will find the task too daunting and split it into THREE covers! *NM*

I think I was too subtle. I really, really dislike the WoT covers

Whoops, I was thinking LE Modesitt and wondering why this was here.

Yeah, I remember back in the day thinking a new WoT book was out when I saw Modesitt's covers..

Is it wrong of me to to think "I hope he didn't already do the cover art for AMoL?" *NM*

It's certainly too bad he died, but I can't say I'll miss his...er..."distinctive" cover art

RIP Darrel. Tor should put whatever Sweet had done so far on the cover of AMOL.
