Argent Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Sam Green, the artist whose style has become iconic for Brandon's books in the UK, has produced another piece of art, this one for Shadows of Self. While Wax looks appropriately dashing, I wonder who the man in the mirror is... Check it out on Gollancz's website.

Guest Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) The blue color makes me think Koloss, but that's likely just color theme rather than skin color. Edit: I know it's supposed to be Wax, but the cane and hat make me think "that's gotta be Wayne" Edited June 17, 2015 by LabRat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Gollancz covers definitely work for Mistborn, and this one is no exception. It's fine. It's the non-Mistborn Gollancz covers that are egregious... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Maybe the man in the mirror is Sazed? He looks scarily similar to how I picture him. Plus, one side of his face is covered by the mist while the other is somewhat skull-like Edited June 17, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljósmóður Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Gollancz covers definitely work for Mistborn, and this one is no exception. It's fine. It's the non-Mistborn Gollancz covers that are egregious... I suppose the whole "mist" thing is more Mistborn than anything else and so it is going to work best for that series. But, I actually really love all the UK covers I have and my OCD means that I appreciate the thematic approach to the covers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistdork Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Whenever I see these covers, I suddenly really really wish I could move to the UK! ...then I remember: nope, to poor, grad student nowz. *le sigh* Maybe the man in the mirror is Sazed? He looks scarily similar to how I picture him.Plus, one side of his face is covered by the mist while the other is somewhat skull-like I hope it's Sazed (I wouldn't mind if we got a...weird...Shard perspective bit, hehe), but it could be whoever the villain is too. Or someone else. Who knows. Edited June 18, 2015 by Nymp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamEternal Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) But didn't he have long hair? The man in the mirror seems bald EDIT: Nope, my mistake, he could have hair, the face is too zoomed in to kniw.

Oudeis Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Is that Wax? I don't recall Wax having a long, luxurious ponytail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The UK covers are really not illustrative. They're meant to create a mood rather than show particular characters. It seems to work for the UK market. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
