Cover for ToM that didn't quite make it

[doseyclwn]

I thought this was hilarious!

[soccerscott]

That one def should have been the one on production line. I especially enjoyed the helmet.

[waffle]

the helmet is simply fabulous

[Crael123]

BAHAHAHA one of the funniest things i have ever seen

[Xader]

Obviously, the title is fake, but what scares me is that I have no trouble believing that to be an original D.K. Sweet cover...

[decocards]

Ha ha. The proportions on the people in the covers is so bad it's laughable.

 

I really hope they release the whole series with the ebook covers some day.

This cover has been around for about 5-6 years at least and always seems to pop up when the new book(s) come out >_> Never really that it was that funny myself :x

[LordOfChaos]

Oh God, I remember this image.

[Corlock]

Obviously he's riding Bela.

Uhhhh, no.

 

I am the creator* of this cover, and I did it as a gift/joke for Jennifer Liang. She thought it was funny, so I really don't care if anybody else thinks it is funny or not. She of course posted it all over the internet and now my poor server is threatened to be crushed daily under the load of people that come to look at it, and those that are hotlinking it all over the intertubes. *eyes doseyclwn balefully* I don't remember the exact date I did it, but it was sometime either right before TGS came out or right after, because we were considering auctioning posters of it at JordanCon (SeanCon, that year ) for the charity auction.

 

 

*This means I did all the photoshopping that resulted in this. The original art IS all Darrell's-- the background is from a Lord of the Rings illustration, and the guy with the fancy feathers is from a completely different book cover he did (which I don't remember the name of).

 

Regards,

 

 

PS-- I love the new WoT icon set, if my liberal usage of them didn't make that obvious.

[Lynchgrinch]

ohhhh......PWNED SO HARD!

In relation to Wheel of Time, the mountain is supposed to represent Dragonmount?

And the guy Moridin?

 

 

Lord of the Rings, Orodruin (Mount Doom) seems most accurate for the mountain.

Edit:: Guy with the fancy feathers, I seem to recall a wizard with a feathered hat in Tolkien's Roverandom. Maybe the guy is him.

[T00thbrush]

I laughed out loud at that cover. Great work!

[Jblaylock]

AND HE'S PISSED

My copy of that later book has a different cover.
