What in the heck is that thing below the horse? Does he have dominion over that too, or is it some kind of novelty backpack?

Horses are notoriously difficult to draw. Horses standing in water, or near an out of sight but powerful smoke machine, so you don’t see their legs, are a common bad art trope. There is of course the option of learning, but heck, that’s hard.

I thought they were talking about the eagle-fox mutant conjoined at the shoulder. :/
But y’know besides that the drawing isn’t excruciating to look at, it just didn’t make a good cover.

Anyone else notice–there’s a face in that rock? Seriously. Lower left-hand side…kinda looks like an older baby with its head tilted to the left, sitting up in a…a…a rock stroller! The kind that you strap to your back, when wandering the wilds wit’ yo’ widdle wock babee.

This site is melting my brains.

OH, NATHAN! Nearly forgot: sweetums, can we have the “most recent posts…” box back, please? It helps me find the carnage, uh, sorry, constructive criticism levied by my peeps. Please?

I thought the rock looked like a goblin hiding its face in shame

The whole look if is of someone who has never seen a book cover, designing it by instructions she received over the phone. Why are those so common? How do people who have never seen a book, get to their heads to produce one, in the first place?

Nostalgia. They remember stories their great-grandmother told of home entertainment in the days before TV and the ‘net, when people would sit by the lamp with a thing called a “book”.

You can just see all the effort that went into this. They tried really really hard.

I know you are using the invisible */snark/* tag, but I can’t help but wonder if you aren’t turning into an olde soft-y, Waffles.
