The Parafaith War

God this planet is hot. Shouldn't have worn the tinfoil suit.Click for larger image

Much cooler. Stripped down for action.Click for larger image

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday – A Pair of Parafaith Wars!

Kendall Art Direction: I said I want him studly, you can see his 12-pack through the form-fitting metal space suit! … Well, why else do you think it’s called form-fitting?!

You know what? For the audiobook, just ditch the spacesuit; just show us the 6-pack. … Yes, I said 6-pack; we can’t afford that 12-pack – it’s just an audiobook!

Well at least I don't need my suit to 'enhance' my body.Click for full image

Nix Comments: This book is reasonable-if-crappy (it’s a Modesitt, so it has Modesitt’s sole interchangeable plot) and the cover is a pretty good depiction of a scene from the book… but the cover is so badly done it distracted me from reading the book. I’m not even sure what’s wrong with it. Are those bobbleheads or are they actually almost in proportion and merely a horrible example of the dangers of having naturalistic heads and cartoon everything else? I don’t know.

Damn it, where the hell is that city? Why didn't we bring our glasses!?Click for full image

So I just read from the list on this sheet? Alright then, terrible fonts, realistic guys doing manly stuff and pulling awkward faces, and a futuristic city. Might I add something of my own? Why don’t we credit only the editors and none of the authors? …You’re promoting me to management?! OHHH yeaaah!

And I raise your stereotype with my light beam!Click for full image

Two words for you…. pirates vs kinky police officers. Well you know what I mean! Have the officers in long knee highs and holding a large batons. Have a large magic beam hitting a stereotypical pirate in the chest and him grimacing in pain. It’s almost too perfect.

Didn't you think to mention you could cast fireballs?
Art direction: I have two words for you: Magic Fireball! Have some leather clad guy holding an old school hunting rife casting it. Just make sure that the fireball is purple! Magic is purple…. right?

Thanks to CSA!
