And there we go... her hand fits perfectly on his ass... perfectly...Click for full image

BookWench’s Art Direction: Okay, so this just looks like two nipple-less people standing there exposing their inner wrists. How do we make it more “Faith of the Fallen”-y? Uhm, how about chucking a craftsman in there, admiring his nipple-less handiwork?

    Terry Goodkind, the only author to have a Venn Diagram as the second letter of his surname.

  2. Pat Says:

    Unfortunately the classic marble of Praxiteles usually known as “Yer Looking at Mi Bird, Knob?” has been lost for centuries.

  3. A.R.Yngve Says:

    A rare example of 21st-century Nazi sculpture.

    “No, its not a skirt, its a sarong, actually!”

    Nice prong, too.

  5. Adam Roberts Says:

    Terry Goodkind’s classic HATPIN OF THE GODS!

    That statue’s actually described in rapturous detail in the book itself! See it here: http://www.journalfen.net/users/white_serpent/13545.html

    “You can call me… Michelangelo! Not *the* Michelangelo, obviously… a Michelangelo…”

  9. Tat Wood Says:

    Thanks to Lilah for that rhapsodic description. ‘The man’s body displayed a proud masculinity. ‘. Obviously, they couldn’t depict that on a book-cover.

  10. Lilah Says:

    Maybe they couldn’t directly show his proud masculinity, but he is holding a fairly impressive rod. That can’t be unintentional.

  11. Jane Says:

    Tablecloths are all the rage for the fall fashion season.

  12. Jerk of all Trades Says:

    Yes, these crappy, derivative statues that are intended to represent the soul of humanity itself are sculpted in the form of persons of white northern European extraction. This is due to the many personal failings that the people who brought us this book painstakingly included in its creation.

  13. Book Wench Says:

    @ Lilah and Tat Wood – come on, admit it- “The man’s body displayed a proud masculinity” isn’t from this book, it’s from 50 Shades of Grey, isn’t it?

  14. Smith Says:

    Coulda been worse. Coulda been the statue of the woman displaying proud masculinity.

  15. Jaouad Says:

    The way he holds that staff, I suspect the man’s proud masculinity would be reflected quite clearly in it’s er… knob, if it weren’t for the Ting.

  16. Tat Wood Says:

    In that context, his right fist and her left one look more than usually interesting

  17. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    I call this masterpiece “For the love of masturbation”! Notice the hands, how they are perfectly shaped for physical stimulation…

  18. Alex Says:

    What a terrible book, too. It’s the one that made me abandon the series.
