She never actually fights anyone, she just lifts the sword over her head and unsheathes it twenty times to tone her abs.

The contestant who placed third in the sword posturing contest was so embarrassed that they couldn’t even be bothered to turn up and pose with the winner and the guy who came second…

Couldn’t she find a pair of color coodinated boots? That just shows her lack of commitment to the buxom sword chick code.

Also known as “the gate of stabbing.” (Visitors will be stabbed.)

Eliminate that belly fat with this one weird trick …

Anyway, this one is far better:

“And make that pale blue background take up most of the cover! We don’t want the art, the title, or the blurb to take up valuable space that can be blue! Nobody wants to see thews, biceps, boobs, or weapons!”
@fred: The boots seem to match the belt. Same stabbed critter. Speaking of which, this needs the “booties” tag.
@Bruce: Maybe Iveriel is the deity of stabbing. GSS.
@Tor: Took me a second. I miss @anon’s anagrams, but your effort’s pretty good.
The art per se isn’t bad, just the other elements of the cover are.

@Tor: I’d have gone with “Lea Over Gift” – and now she’s going back to the shop to return it…

@GSS ex-noob: I guess the art department had a bunch of light blue paint they wanted to get rid of.

@GSSXN and Leak: It’s not an anagram. It’s mirror writing.
Me and Leonardo, y’know.

@Bruce: “Meanwhile, over at the Bridge of Bludgeoning…”
Also, the ’76 cover is just a warmup for this beauty:

@Emster: I see the cover has become much more horse-centric, with the humans reduced to the role of gate posts.
I blame My Little Pony.

The cover’s so generic I’ve already forgotten it just scrolling down here but I must say Ivrel’s a pretty damn good cough medication.

@Tor: granted, I didn’t know that it was distorted mirror writing – how else could the space have moved a position?
November 14th, 2023 at 3:55 pm
@Leak: Because in this universe, the laws of space are different.

@Emster: Egads. That horror seems to be a comic book adaptation? Looks like they had more of the leftover paint as @Bruce said.
@Leak: So is the ridiculously long sword the gift she’s returning, or is it Faux-nan? I’m thinking the sword — it’s almost as long as her leg and thus hard to maneuver. She’s going for store credit to get one that’s more her size, and not so obviously “This is a sword worth a lot of money”. Maybe she’ll have enough left over to buy Faux-nan a scabbard.
@Tor: Ah, on the other side of the gate.
Is Faux-nan just shaded badly, or is he a cat person?
