Should I redo the book 5 cover?

I'm not a huge fan of the book 5 cover. I'm thinking of redoing it. Thoughts?

I don't like it because it is a major spoiler.

2021-10-25 15:29:33 +0000 UTCJust went to look it up and... yeah. It really doesn't fit with the rest of your covers and frankly, looks pretty cheap compared to your earlier covers.

2021-10-25 02:55:39 +0000 UTCI think you should be happy with it which means change it then? I also agree some other comments saying it looks low res and ngl kinda gives me the vibe of a B studio RPG pc game from the late 80s

2021-10-24 23:56:40 +0000 UTCI don’t really have an opinion on the blocking of the cover (ie. what it shows), however I immediately noticed that it looked grainy and low fidelity. Like less detailed than the other ones, and looked like it went through compression some how. Than and I’m not as much of a fan of the actual art style compared to the earlier ones.

2021-10-24 21:12:49 +0000 UTCGive me credit - I listened! I try not to do things impulsively, so I waited, thought on it, saw more reactions, thought about it some more, and ended up here

2021-10-24 21:09:52 +0000 UTCThe current cover looks like a diablo 2 screen shot. I think I said as much on the post where it was revealed

2021-10-24 20:59:54 +0000 UTCYhe my reaction to the cover art post was "interesting image so where is the cover?"

2021-10-24 20:40:13 +0000 UTCI was sad when the series covers moved away from being Elain posed against a relevant background.

2021-10-24 19:35:21 +0000 UTCIf I’m brutally honest i never liked it as the cover art, didn’t give the same feeling as the others.

2021-10-24 19:21:09 +0000 UTCwhat was the cover again ? ha yeah the one with the dragon and the eggs, it just isn't coherent with the other covers, stylewise.

2021-10-24 19:00:02 +0000 UTCYeah I'm not a fan of it. I'm struggling what should be on the cover. Maybe Elaine in her dwarven armor?

2021-10-24 18:49:08 +0000 UTCI think it spoils the book a little bit too much. I really liked the previous 4 covers, which provided clues or hints as to what was happening, such as teasing the change to radiance in book 3. This is just literally Elaine sneaking around a dragon, which doesn't really fit the theme. That being said, if you think it's better to move away from the single-character portrait-style covers, that's your own decision. I can only say that the book 5 cover doesn't mesh with the previous 4.

2021-10-24 18:45:41 +0000 UTCNo matter the story. Bigger boobies is always a good idea.

2021-10-24 18:40:26 +0000 UTCI like it as a piece of art but not as the cover of the book
Adrian Gorgey
2021-10-24 18:39:07 +0000 UTCDefinitely YES! All others are dark, but with nice glowy accents. This one is only dark, it's hard to really see the dragon.

2021-10-24 18:38:40 +0000 UTCRegardless of if I like it (not the biggest fan), you should be totally happy with it!
