That is one smoking hot elfboy on the cover there. For nothing else, I'd buy this book. :)

That is our intrepid heroine, the remarkable and snarky October Daye.

Too bad, she'd be incredibly hot as a guy. How faithful are cover art depictions to the author's conception of characters, generally speaking?

Yeppers - in fact I think you have nearly* the complete anti-Baen cover. (BTW- who's publishing it?)

*the person IS female and IS young-looking. :)

A problem which can get even worse. Fortunately, DAW did not inflict this on

cadhla:

o/~Bova's name is on the cover of his book
Bova's name is on the cover of his book
It's in four big silver letters
But some artwork might be better
And the title isn't anywhere you look

A lot of artists are very inaccurate, although that's frequently not the fault of the artist -- when you're given a week to do a painting based on a book you've never read, you don't do too well. My particular artist did an awesome job, partially because he had time to read the book. :)

Matt Stover's first Caine book had an interesting front cover. The person on the cover looked JUST like Matt aged about 20 ... the artist had never met Matt.

They reviewed my book in Locus Magazine.
They reviewed my book in Locus Magazine,
But they way they synopsized it,
I barely recognized it...

I lived in fear of the bimbo for years.

Not to forget the FBT

There's an effing turtleoid in shades of blue
There's an effing turtleoid in shades of blue
It has riders rope en-wrapped
Yes the title's "Castle Kidnapped"
But it's got NO turtleoids of any hue.

Though I did make John DeChancie a sculpture of the thing after we discussed it to death in the SF echo on Fidonet. :)

There's a monster on the cover of the book 2x
He is big and he is hairy
Though the story's not that scary...

There's a laser on the cover of the book 2x
It's a philosophic story
But the cover must be gory...

There's a white guy on the cover of the book 2x
The heroine is black
But with art that cuts no slack...

Here lies the pitfall of the fully-clothed heroine.

It's a scary syndrome. I'm just glad Toby has clothes.

I once mistook some very actually accurate cover art of a book's female protagonist for an inaccurate piece of cover art of said book's main male character. Yes, he was an elf.
