The gloves are growing spikes. That’s going to be awkward when the “shim” (I can’t tell – can you?) has an itch…

This is almost nice. The design and coloring in the painting are very nice…though the actual rendering leaves something to be desired. And, as you point out, the glowing spikes are ill-conceived. (As may also be having the left-hand character squatting on clouds or whatever that’s supposed to be and whatever he is supposed to be doing.)

As is the positioning and color of the type. Regarding the former, this is an example of a problem a lot of book covers have: the author is so much in love with the art that they don’t want to cover up any of it with silly things like the title of the book or their name. Sometimes you can hardly blame the author when the artist didn’t bother to take into account the need to include a title, but in this case the artist did indeed leave plenty of room.

I think the dude on the left is sitting in the snow with is lower legs underneath him. Right above “Jean” is one of his knees and the other is over by the spine.

There are some nice things in this art–the background elements especially. The snow-sitting guy is also a much better figure than the woman(?). Those spiky gloves look like special fx from a hemorrhoid commercial. Goddess help her if she has to wipe her ass while she’s wearing those. Ouch!

Wow. This is really great acid. Look at the traces my hands are making! And they’re shooting off sparks, too. Bitchin…

Needs more gargoyles(?)! Or are those the Hatchlings we’re here to see?

The gloves look like a children’s game. The one where tiny metal shavings stand up to make a picture.

That would actually be pretty awesome. Hell! I’d buy a pair just for shits and giggles. I believe they are however, the latest gardening gloves for thistle lovers. Coming this spring from Martha Stewart Garden Collection.
