Mistborn cover art
« on: September 08, 2005, 09:27:06 AM »
I've got a copy of the sketch looks cool but a tad comicbookish, and sorry I can't post it here.  However I can post the name of the artist but I don't have it so I'm making this post to bug EUOL to link to the artist's website so you have an idea of what we're talking about.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I saw it over the weekend. I think it was cool; I just wanted to see more of Vin's face.

His main character is named Vin? Will Vin Diesel play him in the movie?

He's already in--he's coming tonight and playing a gnomish bard. I hear he really gets into character, so get ready for some singing.

So what's the artist's name?  I really want to see some of what to expect for Mistborn's cover art.

Jon Foster is the name.  He's very good with action scenes, less impressive with faces.

If this is the guy... I like.  I might have preferred that he do Elantris and Martinieri do Mistborn but I really like his style either way.

Is this the guy?
