Excuse me while I squeeee for a while… Michael J Sullivan is one of my favourite fantasy authors, and he’s currently hosting a giveaway for advance printings of his new series. You can sign up at Goodreads and a couple of other places. Full details here.
But that’s not really what got me all excited. Take a look at this…
Isn’t that just the most amazing artwork? It’s by Andres Rocha.
One day, when I’m rich and famous (ha!), I’m going to get cover art for ‘The Plains of Kallanash’ that looks as awesome as this: the sweeping vista, with maybe the Ring of Bonnegar and the spires and domes of Kashinor. Sigh. One day…
It is quite gorgeous. I love the lighting and how it reflects on the water. Looks very realistic. Amazing what people can accomplish digitally.
Is it digital? I’m so ignorant about art, I can’t tell. I imagines the artist slaving over his easel. 🙂
