Well, now, wait, there, Nathan. What on earth is the ring thing, in the middle of her face? I originally thought, “well, okay, she has some type of delicate chain, connecting her…ear (?), to her (nose?)”, (not my cuppa, but I try not to be all judgy), but…that chain goes to a ring embedded in the cheek of her face. It’s bizarre. Just…fwiw.
You are, however, completely right in that had the right fonts and font sizing been used, it never would have been seen here. Those fonts just torpedo this sucker. Such a shame!
I think it IS just in her nose – but the right side is jewelled so more visible and the left side is a simple yellow line so gets lost over the similar colour of her cheek.
Compare with this:

Yup, I totally would have let that slide. (In fact, I wouldn’t have looked closely enough at the cover to notice.) I would let the website “Slightly Imperfect Book Covers” handle it. 🙂
Yes, dahlink, but I don’t hang out at “Slightly Imperfect Book Covers.” Only you have the pleasure of my acquaintance, and my, er, nose for those sorts of weird imperfections.
There’s something weird about her right hand. Maybe this is part of the culture of the art work, but from my perspective, it looks like he asked for her hand, so she unscrewed it at the elbow and gave it to him.
I took the image and tried getting the faces in a normal aspect ratio. A lot of the weirdness goes away at correct proportions. I hate it when acceptable art is squished or squashed into ugliness.
