MightyGodKing photoshops again… This time, only Star Trek novels! I think I finally understand why the Thrawn trilogy covers are so awful… Someone was looking at all those Next Generation books as a model.
Deathtroopers cover revealed
The official site has a Monday surprise for us: The cover art for Joe Schreiber’s Deathtroopers.
Pro art: Seeley’s Mindor cover, step-by-step
Tor’s Irene Gallo gets Dave Seeley to share his process for ‘Rogue Leader,’ the painting that became the cover for Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor.
Fate of the Jedi: Outcast cover, blurb
Speak of the Devil… It’s not what I expected at all. So bright! I like that it’s a new, very bold direction… I don’t like that it looks like a basic vector trace. Hrm. And why is Ben (yes, that’s Ben on the right) wearing Lando’s shirt? Dare we go there?
There’s also jacket text, under the cut. Continue reading “Fate of the Jedi: Outcast cover, blurb”
Blood Oath cover revealed!
Dave Seeley! Jedi! Hot chicks! (Leeloo? Is that you?) What more could one ask for in a Blood Oath cover? How about a summary? It contains some LOTF spoilers, so read it at the link or under the cut. Continue reading “Blood Oath cover revealed!”
EUbits: Essential Atlas falls back to July
Bad news, folks – The Essential Atlas release date has moved from February to July. Still confident we’ll see it… eventually. (Thanks for the heads-up, Zee Zee!)
- Fate of the Jedi: Sue Rostoni says the covers will be similar to the Rebel Force covers… I can’t say I find that encouraging, with the Rebel Force covers being the epitome of bland. But maybe not being able to directly copy movie-era stills will lend the format some oomph.
- The Old Republic: MMO game fighting will be “choreographed.” Like in West Side Story? Because that would be awesome.
Sue Rostoni talks Blood Oath cover
She’s back on the StarWars.com boards and had this to say about Dave Seeley’s cover for Elaine Cunnigham’s Blood Oath, including some hints at the book’s content:
We received the “final” cover art yesterday, but one of the other characters on the cover had to have her blaster changed — it looked too earth-bound, so we’re having it changed to a more Star Wars hold-out blaster style. Dave Seeley is painting the cover, and it looks awesome — At first glance it looks a bit like a romance novel cover, but don’t let that put you off. The cover features Zekk up front, with two women in the background… Hapan women… women you may remember from a previous LotF novel… oh, I just spilled my coffee — hang on a moment…
She answers a few questions on the next page, too.
