Slap the title on it and that would have made a fine book jacket for the final novel. It's a shame Sweet's art will not be used in some form.<br /><br />I'm sure Whelan will do a fine job though, and I'm interested to see his version.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191138179644187910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-69416259427375987792012-04-21T09:42:40.366+00:002012-04-21T09:42:40.366+00:00They seriously ought to use this.

And frankly, using an unfinished painting by a dead man would be a moving and fitting thing for a decades-long epic series that had to be completed by another author after the creator died.<br /><br /><br />Tor have no sense of beauty.Wastrelhttp://vacuouswastrel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-17056557344769374782012-04-21T05:20:31.185+00:002012-04-21T05:20:31.185+00:00It ain't perfect, but it looks better than som...It ain't perfect, but it looks better than some of his other finished covers.
