Why, Mr. jacket designer-Adam Auerbach? Why? Besides it standing out way more than the art itself--the red color also makes it a little harder to see the small details such as Simon and some of the dragon's face. Everything else looks great. Amazing, actually. This art had the potential of outshining the original if it hadn't been for that sword by the jacket designer. I think it should have been on the backcover instead. Oh well, maybe the next ones will be better ✌️

Just saw the new deluxe hardcover of The Dragonbone Chair at my local bookstore.

The book does look good in person.

Other than the end pages with the original cover art, the front cover (photo #4) is plain with no added illustration.

The binding appear to be glued, but the book feels flexible enough when opened.

Cheers!

Man this one really flew by. I can't imagine how exciting it must've felt for those who read the original trilogy back in the day to return to Osten Ard. I have the luxury of binging the series! Loved the new characters but Jarnulf was a highlight as well as Conan-Cnaiur-Genghis-er I mean Unver... Trying to savor the experience but I'm also anxious to see where the story goes! I saw a post not too long ago claiming Empire of Grass borders on Grimdark, which has me very intrigued!

Gelflings from the Dark Crystal: of Resistance

Was a really big fan of the look of the Hodder & Stroughton hardcovers for Witchwood Crown and Empire of Grass but hated that book 3 and 4 didn't match, so I tried my hand at making a pair of matching dust jackets. They didn't come out perfect, little things like colors and alignment didn't match up exactly but overall I'm really happy with them.

Edit: If anyone wants the files to print for themselves, just shoot me a DM. I'm going to tweak them a bit later today to more closely match up with the originals and then I can share them to whoever is interested.
