More appropriate for A Circus of Hells?

Not that I’m bragging, of course, but if I were to wear that thong I think the mark of my gender would be a bit more prominent. Perhaps he’s had some kind of bodily trauma? That would explain his expression.

That star is well earned 🌟

“Enchained”… or just “chained” as everyone else says.
June 29th, 2017 at 12:38 pm
@THX: I’m afraid that enchained/chained is almost as popular as prideful/proud and pressurised/pressed. They are legion, and they want to suck out our brains and eyeballs.

Now, dswbt, this is the 21st century. Leave your outdated gender roles in the hyborian age. 😉

@DSWBT 6: It’s “impactful” that bothers me, how did that mess become a word?
Anyway, I won’t let it get to me too much, I’ll relax with this recording of Enchained Melody.

FYI, “enchained” is a perfectly legitimate word, and by no means a neologism (Middle English from French enchaîner, according to the OED). It just looks bloody illiterate.

He is also enearringed and entoesrearrangedifyoulookclosely.
May I also suggest ‘The face of determination’ as a tag.

So, in the eighties, in art school, were there no foot masters around? Was it the dark ages for bi-pedal anatomy? We’re feet deemed the work of the devil and banned in fantasy art by the church?

I knew I had seen that expression before…

@Bibliomancer—no, it’s just a left arm that bends ninety degrees backwards.

@THX-1138 #5 – This cover ensucks
June 29th, 2017 at 4:30 pm
I’m now trying to figure out just exactly how they hoisted Faux-Nan into that weird position. Did they attached the leg irons first or the wrist irons? Did they hoist him up with a crane, lean him forward and attach all the irons at once? Another thing, if he’s leaning forward, why is his medallion bouncing upwards? And why does he seem to have a camel toe? So many questions, so little import . . . .

“Note to science fiction fans who read this review: I am re-reading the series from the perspective of whether it qualified as a BDSM Romance.” Michael Dunellen review.

The warrior is enchained because he is full of gas and about to float away.

@ B.Chiclitz 13 – Great song! Is that by Alice Enchains?

Did Rodney Matthews do this cover? Fauxnan definitely looks like Elric’s been messing with Grecian 2000 and the whole thing gives off a whiff of Patchouli and Brown Dubbin. If it’s not him it’s someone who wants this to be mistaken for his work.

@Raoul—written by Encarol Enking. Covered most famously by the Enbeatles.
June 29th, 2017 at 6:52 pm
Fauxnan, our hero, has been captured by the dread Amazon women – basically, your average sexist pulp-fantasy plot.
On the plus side, this cover is so terrible that it gives us leave to mock it endlessly – like the dancing bikini-clad damsel who appears to be lacking a right thumb.
Good show!

They all seem to be ignoring each other – there’s no eye contact being made: perhaps they’ve had an argument about whose turn it is to walk the Puma?

The lady in pink…does she have a hole through her hair into her skull?
June 30th, 2017 at 2:22 am
O Ghu, I liked the romance novel cover more.
The warrior’s musculature is like no human ever, and he’s got nada in his tiny g-string. He’s sporting less than your average Ken doll. Possibly less than your average Barbie doll. Too many steroids? Pubic bone removed? Both?
Weird abs! Nobody has a navel! Nobody has feet! What’s with the lower back of the lady at far left? The skull dent of the lady in pink?
Can we get some tag regarding the mess of anatomy all over?
What’s the round thing he’s chained to? And how?
Does the big black cat only have 3 legs?
Are any of them aware of the others?
The more you look at this, the more enterrible it becomes.
OMG, same author wrote “Lady Blade, Lord Fighter” as seen on GSS.

Also, I would like to suggest a “plumber’s crack” tag.

The artist is, I think Peter Jones – he did quite a few UK fantasy/sf covers in the 70s
July 3rd, 2017 at 5:57 pm
Needs a “WTF” tag.

Cirque de Soleil’s latest show was NOT family-friendly.
