Simplified Fantasy Cover Art
Friday, July 07, 2017
It is Friday afternoon, and I'm playing with simplify.thatsh.it - a website that creates 'random modern art by simplifying images to their core elements'. Basically, we're one step from Skynet, people.
Anyway, I've taken the liberty of simplifying some of my favourite SF/F covers. They're pretty remarkable.

Cover: Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself (As Ninefingers says, "You've got to be realism")
Cover: Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Sturm is a big lump!
Cover: Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Cover: Dune (I quite like it?)
Cover: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
(£10 says there's a special edition with this cover in our lifetimes)
Cover: The Way of Shadows. Pentagons are the new Hooded Men.
