I don't know the legal ins-and-outs of publishing, but I would think that the unfinished art for the last book would be very appropriate. Darrell passed away before he could finish the last painting, Robert passed away before finishing the last book. It would be visual representation of how incredibly important the final book is. Let the final book have the final artwork.
"The author and the painter passed on before this was published, but it was finished and released to millions of adoring fans."
By the way. I think that Brandon is doing an incredible job of finishing the book. He really knows his craft.
P.S. I greatly respect James Rigney and do not intend ANY disrespect toward him or Darrell. "Kiserai ti Wansho" Glory to the builders.
