Cover Art

[Leatherleaf]

Does anybody else find that nearly the entire series' cover art sucks?! Almost none of the characters appear as they should and in most of them, Rand looks like he's 40-something. It's so frustrating...the UK at least gets some nice simple cover art. Although I've seen the ebook covers, and I really like them! But gah, I know this is becoming a rant, but the book covers are terrible. I think I'm going to make my own covers and re-bind my set. Again, sorry for my rant, but I have to know if anyone else is as frustrated by these bad covers...

 

Also, I must say to the artist that I'm sorry, but please...no more...

lol...true...

 

I thought time was passing like 3 or 4 years from some of the pictures....

but to find out the whole series is like 2 years.... o.0

 

P.S. I think somebody posted a similar thread...

it seems many people do not care for most of the cover art.

Like another poster mentioned, there was a number of past threads that expressed the similar opinions.

If you are not able to find any of them, there may be a chance that those threads were culled.

 

To me the US covers are good enough; most seem accurate to the scenes they depict.

And I generally prefer covers that are noticeably different from each other.

 

Edit::  Some time back I did a poll on about how the voters rank the us covers:

i'm almost think of maybe being semi-okay with the rest of the art except the sizes of the people. they all look like midgets, especially Winters heart. the aiel don't even reach up to the horses backs.
