Title: TUC Jason Deem artwork (possible spoilers...?)
Post by: Hiro on July 20, 2017, 05:11:51 pm
Not sure if anyone mentioned this already somewhere, searching for Jason Deem or Overlook did not bring up anything relevant.
Overlook has tweeted, in anticipation of the looooong awaited US release, two of his preview images. I hope more will follow. Even these are majestic!

First one: https://twitter.com/overlookpress/status/887703770859274243 (https://twitter.com/overlookpress/status/887703770859274243)

Second one: https://twitter.com/overlookpress/status/888066066068512768 (https://twitter.com/overlookpress/status/888066066068512768)

[EDIT Madness: Added the pictures.]

Lol - despite them handicapping his work by commissioning him in the final weeks leading up to release...

But still amazing, Somnambulist. Thank you very much for your work.

Also, I'd prefer if people don't take guesses in this thread as to what these images portray until after NA release.

Nothing posted there yet but I'm sure Somnambulist will oblige us. I already mentioned to him I'd going to make another poster.

I always thought this work on DeviantArt was just... okay.   But these are impressive, especially the Golgotterath wall.
Title: Re: TUC Jason Deem artwork (possible spoilers...?)
Post by: Cüréthañ on July 23, 2017, 04:42:03 am
I love all Jason's stuff, but I agree these have something extra to them.

Perhaps it's because these works fill in the whole picture better ... like the subject and background are more uniform ... if that makes sense?

This one is great, I think it and the first one are my favourites (so far).

They just keep on coming...amazing stuff!
Title: Re: TUC Jason Deem artwork (possible spoilers...?)
Post by: Madness on July 25, 2017, 12:28:04 am
As I mentioned to Somnambulist, that sixth one is my favorite, even though I actively wanted to see his rendition of the first.

Number six just reminds me so much of Giger and Dune (or even Giger's drafts for Jodorowsky's Dune).

It's worth checking out Somnambulist's link to all six images (https://jdillustration.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/the-unholy-consult/) on his site.

TSA aside, I just love Somnambulist's work. These are great though, and this link (https://jdillustration.wordpress.com/tsa/) is the raw posters from TGO and TUC without the Overlook advertisement text.

These are even better than the TGO ones, which is hard to believe since those were already awesome.

Yeah re-release of the series with covers by Jason Deem seems to be the logical course to take.

It's not like releasing two box sets of two complete series with a definite set of covers by Somnambulist would make money or anything...

Hell, I even said to GJ yesterday, I think the majority of existing fans of the series would buy those, let alone all the new readers you'd get at bookstores and online if they can buy completed series with definite covers.

Smdh.

Ha, apparently I didn't make them emerald-y or burn-y enough to show up on the low-res images.  Here's a shot of the full-res face.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks, everyone.  Glad you all liked them.

Awesome work! I love this one-(#5). The cinderswords, like so many of Bakker's world building details, are enough to build a whole other story around!

I've been using TSA art as wallpapers for a long time. Great stuff, and with how detailed they are they look great blown up on larger scales.

Does Jason offer block-mounted prints anywhere?  Shipping might be prohibitive for me, but I'll happily pay him for permission to have it done locally or something.

Ah, have you met my good friend Wilshire?

First, I always direct those with your (our) particular affliction to collecting Bakker's books to these two threads: Collector's Editions (http://www.second-apocalypse.com/index.php?topic=1684.0) for some basic info about what you're looking for and where you might find them, and Custom Leather Bound (http://www.second-apocalypse.com/index.php?topic=1603.0) because I'm a vain person lol. Feel free to post any thoughts to those (or any) threads. IMO, the original artwork for PoN (artist is David Rankine) is far superior than any of the others.

Does Jason offer block-mounted prints anywhere?  Shipping might be prohibitive for me, but I'll happily pay him for permission to have it done locally or something.

Just contact Somnambulist :).

I'd love to see your 'snooty collection' sometime :) . Are you a collector of fancy books from the likes of Easton Press, Franklin Press, Subterranean Press, Centipede Press, Folio Society? (or, are there any names missing from that list I should know about?)

These are seriously amazing, the one if Siroyon with the standard outside Golgotterath would be my dream TUC cover.

I read that scene before I saw the art and thought it would be an amazing cover.

Lo and behold...

Dunno how I missed them until now but holy shit these are AMAZING. They perfectly capture my envisioning of Golgotterath in terms of mood, etc. Possibly the best and most evocative covers for the series I've seen thus far. Great work as always from Somnambulist.
