Bad Cover Art
3 Sep
I’ve been hunting for a publisher for a few months and I always have to look at the cover art of the books they’ve already printed. Not to be a jerk about it, but this one made me swear off the publisher just because I fear what they’re artist would do to my novel.
From the art perspective we already have a poorly done 3-d mesh of a woman. Her hair is being blown by some random physics engine. Her feet are not proportionate to her body and if you look closely you can see that her calf is really inside her thigh.
It’s bad enough the horrible name of vampire is being smudged by these little love story soap operas. But now we cant even manage to make them look halfway decent. Perhaps a figure drawing class is in order. And some sort of fashion class because that outfit is so last season.
Why are they staring at me?
The Natural is a great book that is usually blessed with good covers. But this cover just leaves me wondering what the heck the artist intended.
This is the British cover.
There’s way too much going on in this cover art. It gives me a headache just looking at it.
I’m sure the book explains this scene. But even so, that jet blast is awkwardly placed.
