Do you mean fans are doing fantasy covers for if it were a book?
Indeed. They do it as a kind of tribute and the most famous long works tend to have multiple covers to choose from.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Cicatrix Cover - this is the one I was referring to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's just the one Cicatrix. In my head it's the Iolokus of the Jossverse, but I haven't been all up in reading fic in a while.

Yeah, but as an artist, what did you think of that cover I linked?

It's okay. Doesn't take my breath away -- I think just shifting the framing so the couple isn't so upper middle in the picture would have helped a lot. Also, a bit more ... subtlety, maybe? with the layering of the text and the proto-wings would help me like it more too.

Willow's hands in that cover freak me out a little bit.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Willow's hands in that cover freak me out a little bit.
I'm betting that illustration is copied from a real book cover, and modified. "Willow"s hands are distinctly larger than her hands should be, and more masculine.

Well, it's a photomanip. That's not going to be Juliet's body either. Doesn't have to be from a book cover -- could be from anywhere.
