Me: He shot it off with that ridiculously small “rifle.”
Personally, I never know what I’m supposed to make of this kind of “stencil person” on top of realistic images. In comics it would be a way to show these giants are ghosts or invisible.
Is this a way to show mystical power in lousy book covers? Or just a bit of short hand for authors to convey an intense hatred for their readers? I’d prefer that over thinking these people are really just that lazy.

Nathan: “Where’s his other foot?”
Me: Beside the one that’s showing: he’s leaning on the girl. When she steps away, he’ll fall back on his hinnie. Retribution. “I am not your leaning post.”

Given some of the dusters I’ve seen, he doesn’t need that second leg. That leather is stiff enough to hold him up.
I think transparent people on the cover is absolutely the way to go. Kinda makes up for the near-invisible author’s name and other stupid cover decisions.
