I dunno, I don't mean to insult the artist who made them, but its just the concept of them I dont enjoy. I liked the original where there was a landscape with multiple cats, and then a few specfic cats that were focused on. I especially feel strongly about this regarding The New Prophecy's art. It was cool how every cover and the colors went along with the title. It gave off a special vibe, you know? Now its just like "SMACK!" theres a cat! w0w so cool, really transports me somewhere! :\ (sarcasm) Maybe it's just nostalgia and my inner space/adventure/nature loving self talking, but I feel like having close up pictures of cats looking hella digitally rendered instead of traditionally done with an older feel doesn't capture the intent of the books. I know, I know, dont judge a book by its cover but asdfghjkll //imjustramblingnowanditslike1amidkhowtoexplainhowifeel
I really agree. I have to build my collection back up from scratch after a fire destroyed my old house, and I was so disappointed not to see Graystripe/Stonefur on the cover of Forest of Secrets. Instead, I think it's Silverstream or Mistyfoot in close up??
THANK YOU, I'm so glad that someone else agrees. I'm so sorry to hear about your house and the fact that you have to rebuild your collection. My heart goes out to you <3
A friend of mine from out of state just visited and we became friends via our common warriors love. We visited Books-A-Million, saw the books there, and just went SAVAGE talking about the covers. We're both art majors so we had a lot to say lol. Its really hard to get fur textures digitally and that +the unflattering close-ups/angles just UGH. Even if they added some overlaying handmade textures it'd be better. And we completely agree with you! That, along with a few of the other covers, have cats on the front that don't even make sense! Whatweretheythinkging?!
((Side Note: if you're looking for the originals, try the books stores first. They might be selling the original copies cheap to get rid of them in order to push the re-prints. I never owned Fire and Ice, but managed to get the original print for $2 at Books-A-Million! Original series collection finally complete after like 7-8 years lolol))
