Cover Artist #2 Voting
Added 2022-02-26 17:03:19 +0000 UTCTake a look at this hypothetical cover for TWC6 (name redacted, sorry):
They also made an alternate version with pencil stylings for the papers:
The artist used the previous covers as references and the goal is to match styles. Please leave an anonymous vote below, but you're welcome to leave comments as well. I hope to work with one of these two artists, but will go back to the drawing board if necessary.

I like the fact that these maps are clearly indicating troup movements the other artist's cover has a more normal fantasy map...

2022-02-27 06:06:26 +0000 UTCThe compass and the tactical map look amazing. The stone is a bit creepy to me though. If that is the objective though then this is great. If that is the objective I would like to see a little bit more contrast between the stone and the blood.

2022-02-27 01:17:06 +0000 UTCThis is a great style, but to my eyes, it differs more from the previous books than the alternative.

2022-02-26 20:55:59 +0000 UTCTbh I would like to see the removal of them marking a map. Instead i would love little wooden markers representing units. Feels much more in line with the setting and doesn't ruin a perfectly good map.

2022-02-26 19:26:50 +0000 UTCThe blood coming from the stone looks off to me somehow when I look closely at it. It just doesn't seem like a fluid. I like the compass though, it's a very interesting design.

2022-02-26 19:24:53 +0000 UTCDefinitely not the pencil style it makes it much harder to see the lines.

2022-02-26 18:14:45 +0000 UTCPersonally I prefer either the non-pencil version, or perhaps a version where the middle ground is struck -- pencil lines for the red (added, temporary) elements, but leave the contour/topographical lines solid (since they would presumably be the base layer of the map, which is usually the static portion in battle maps). Great regardless!
