I suppose it’s fitting that the cover of a book about child sexual abuse should leave you creeped out and more than a little nauseous, so good job.

The more sensitive the subject, the more insulting the cover….

This looks like “doll” abuse, since there is not a single human on the cover. I, too, am creeped out.

That title is confusing. The byline or whatever it’s called should be smaller and not broken up like that. It looks like four separate story titles.

You’re incorrect. They’re all abusers. 🙂

My Mission to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

Does that extend to pseudo-humans?

Or are those figures on the cover actually anatomically accurate blow-up dolls with strategically placed warm-water reservoirs?

So I’ve been told. No personal experience here, you understand.

And anatomically accurate also includes the, um, back door and mouth, with companion warm-water reservoirs, for 3 times the fun!

Good grief. Good effin’ grief.

Okay, folks — I’m going to toss couple of links to show that not all 3D art sucks.

Let me add a few done with MSPaint while we’re at it:

Not as good as 3D, of course, it’s mspaint after all, but a good artist can make good art with any tool. It’s about how much skill and work you put into it, not the tools you use.

A while ago I was into web comics, two of which were 3D. The first one, http://tmi-comic.com , is very much like the cover here: bad pre-made adjusted models moved around like stick figures, looking stiff and fake. For the second one, http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com , the author paid a pro artist to create the models and scenes, after the author made extensive character design sketches and stuff. The result is a freaking work of art. Both web comics, both 3D, but totally incomparable in quality.

As long as we’re doing covers with creepy implications, how about this classic cover for a bodice-ripper which is *totally* not what it looks like:

What, you think they meant “sexy” to the girl on the cover? She’s too young even to *have* a bodice to rip, ya perverts!

The first glance at the title and cover implies shudder, eyew, yech. But the blurb states the nanny (not in the picture) found daddy sexy. 1999 book, still with a turn-off cover. Creepy cover needs a redo.
