Chris D Comments: I quite like this cover. As far as following the plot, I suppose that the vacuum tube with the face in is meant to be one of the computers with a human brain. I also like that it was probably completed in just under a half hour.

Prince... awful

Art direction: Sorry? Oh, I was thinking that I’d like a really realistic drawing of a prince looking fellow on a big sci-fi chair, holding a nerd pouch and motioning towards some magic crystals. Don’t forget to put the ruby dice in there! After all, that is the name of the book!
