The artist is certainly making a choice there.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really care for it either

[(Anonymous)]

That's an incredibly mainstream fandom opinion.

[chamonix]

I agree, anon. They put me off initially as well. Maybe it's because I had to endure being a woman in the early days of this fandom, but I've always hated these covers to the point where I actually felt embarrassed reading the books in public. They're garishly sexist and often have nothing to do with the descriptions from the books (Rincewind being portrayed as an elderly man, every single female character regardless of personality dressed in scraps of silk with their tits and ass pouring out, unless of course if they're over 40 in which case they're comically hideous). I guess they have a pulpy kitschy vibe, but to me it represents the worst era of fantasy and sci-fi, when the genre was dominated wall-to-wall by the thinly veiled masturbation fantasies of white middle aged men. Not sad to see Kirby go, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, mostly. Kirby's cover art was definitely a vibe, and it's not a terrible match for Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic, but Discworld quickly grew out of being a basic parody of fantasy that the covers suited. I think Paul Kidby's work is a much better fit.

[(Anonymous)]

No, that's fair.

The artist was more famous than the author, when those were first coming out, and he def. gave them an eye-catching signature style. But the art is... a choice.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, they are well-crafted, but I don't like the style. Also, it doesn't suit books at all

[(Anonymous)]

I never liked that art style, but they were infinitely preferable to both the Science Fiction Book Club covers, which were just bad, and the boring clip-art covers on the 2000s American reissues which looked like they were trying to be Serious Literature or something, which were the only other ones available in the US for a long time.

ooo that is ugggggly.

I don't know about this specific instance but oh my god disability rights are so important and they should be talked about.

And CPAP requirements? What a mess! My FIL's got recalled for causing cancer and the hoops he had to jump through to get a new one were absurd.

I don't watch Family Guy for years. But I do think the idea of Meg leaving and things work out for her is cathartic.

Everyone needs to take time away from always having to fight, just from time-to-time. A little bit of fantasy does you good, even if it is problematic.

Same, OP! There are very few artists I take a look at outside of the contest, but these guys were one of them.

You do you, OP.

That said, I'd love to know which fandoms you're in, since Character/OC is by far the most popular ship dynamic in every single one of mine. >.<
