Angel and Faith #1

The cover for this issue is at SteveMorrisArt


The cover: both are good likenesses without being too photographic

oh my.. . sigh

I always have to ask this - is that a good sigh or a bad sigh? I think it's quite a good cover.

[rua1412.livejournal.com]

A bad one.
We have all different tastes so I respect your point of view, but for me, this isn't a great cover.

Because I have no eye for these things, I'm interested to find out what doesn't work there for you. I think Faith looks OK - Morris has certainly got her dimple right and the posture and body language both look very Faith-like.

Is it Angel?

[rua1412.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's Angel.
I'll try to explain my point of view, hoping my English will support me ^_^
First focus on Angel's face. It's great but he looks calm, almost serene you could say, then focus on his body. He is ready to fight right? Face and body don't match for me.
I hope it made sense LOL

I see what you mean - I guess I had seen it more as "at rest before battle" maybe but I can certainly see where you're coming from.

How about Faith? I think she has that real "Are we going to get into the fight or what?" look on her face.

I like Faith there. She is portrayed as we image her... ready for fight/looking forward for it and bored by staying there without nothing to kick. ^_^

Definitely a good match there! Did you see cover #2? if not, it is here (http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2011/04/angel-and-faith-2-cover-art.html). Much more dynamic poses, I thought.

[rua1412.livejournal.com]

I like this one a lot of better too!

Even though the likenesses are not as close, it feels much more like I imagine Faith and Angel in combat would.

Agree again ^_^
