Offical Wheel of Time Artist

[Frost Wynters]

I hate the Wheel of Time covers, and think they looked liked garbage. I dont know why Tor ever thought Sweet's work was good to begin with. That aside, what author(s) do you think would compliment Jordan's works the best?

[Kadere]

What authors do I think would? I guess Brandon Sanderson, and probably Tad Williams.

 

If you're asking about illustrators, I'd go with Michael Whelan, Alan Lee, John Howe, Tom Lockwood, or Bob Eggleton.

 

Personally I think DKS was the perfect artist for this series, he was the reason I picked up the books, and I'll greatly miss his cover on AMoL if we in fact don't get it.

Aw crap :(

I would like DKS unfinished cover to be the one we get on the book. Even better if it is black&white. It would be fair. And it would fit with the title "A Memory of Light".

The only Wot cover which I identify as a real crap is TGS.

But I still vote for DKS's TEOTW cover to be the best in fantasy ever. The look of it made me buy the book at a time when I could hardly spend any money for books and when I was so disappointed from the deterioration of the fantasy as a genre and I really thought I would never buy a fantasy novel again. But I just couldn't resist the urge to buy this large book with the marvelous cover. And that's why I can forgive all next bad DKS covers.

Michael Whelan would be a good one. The artist who did the eBook cover for Fires of Heaven.

 

His stuff is more realistic than someone like Sweet, who can exaggerate things a little bit. Sweet is more suited for something like Xanth or more fantastical books. I never really liked his WoT covers either, but I respect the man as an artist.

Dan Dos Santos illustrated the FoH ebook cover. But Whelan is reportedly illustrating the ebook version of A Memory of Light.

i really want sweets cover for aMoL as well even if it isnt quite finished. i always thought he got the whole medievil thing going. And i agree with Germs his cover on TDR made me pick it up. I use the coversd as wallpapers on my compters.

 

And i HUNT for the illustrated books which arnt released here in OZ. The americans get the books i want...

I like the plain black covers with coloured Wheel symbol and text; I hope they don't change it now.

I'll swap you Uncle!

You can have the early books, they're falling apart!

For me the best artist I've seen associated with WOT is Seamus Gallagher. http://seamassketches.blogspot.com/
