What would YOU like to see on the warbreaker cover?
« on: September 07, 2008, 03:50:11 AM »
So I'm planning on making a cover image for Warbreaker. I'm still unsure on what I am actually going to do for it though. So far I am thinking of either; Vasher with his awakened clothing, something to do with Lightsong -the true hero of the story- or something a bit more abstract such as Austere's eyes with rainbow coloured irises.

What are your thoughts? What would you  like to see on the cover of this great story when it is published next year?

I would like to see a young lady (or Vasher in drag) with her dress spread out on the floor, looking over her shoulder with just a hint of a colorful ribbon of breath escaping her lips. She doesn't really need to have a backdrop, so you could just leave it black but to really draw attention, maybe put a sword laying on her lap/dress. For dramatic effect, her hair could be blowing like she had a fan aimed at her.

Hasn't the cover already been decided? I'm sure I saw a time lapsed video of the artist creating it. I thought it was Vivenna with some Breath coming out of her mouth, or something like that.

Korda is making his own cover. Not the official cover. VegasDev's joke was funny though.

It would be cool to have my cover be the official one but yeah this is mostly just for a folio piece and good practice for when I finally decide to start the fantasy art book im planning on doing

Sadly, I have to admit that I didn't read the other replies before mine until you pointed out VegasDev's joke. I'm sure I would have recognized the description.

Ok...terribly sorry because I know that this is borderline unforgivable to rez a thread this old...but I just had to throw in my suggestion (even if the OP or other responders don't frequent anymore).

I think the cover should have one of the massive D'Denir statues, with Vasher hidden a bit in the shadows, his awakened clothing giving the hint of being animated.

Ok, so I know its a little hard to show animation in a still-frame piece...but that is why I am an aspiring writer and not an aspiring artist, Kolo?

(Sigh) when a thread has just been rezzed you could at least reply to the post that rezzed it, and not correct someone's english that has been there for almost a month...

Did you just reply to me instead of the RP (rezzing poster)?   :o

Ok, I am not even going to get into this. I have seen the threads where you went on a week-long arguing binge with miyabi over something pretty ridiculous.

I love the idea that chunky suggested.  I might add having a couple more of the characters doing something as well since Vasher isn't a promanant character for the first half of the book.  Still, I really like the idea, and I'd love to see it done.

First of all, helping a native English speaker learn English is never ridiculous.

Second.  He made a wish/request as to a word in Engish that might be used instead of the Japanese question participle "ne".  I asked if "no?" would remedy his wish. I was not correcting his English, as it wasn't English to begin with.  I was trying to provide an appropriate answer to his random parenthetical and if that is not good for you then *shrug* don't bother with it?
