I have found 3 very fun cover art for the French edition of Prince of Nothing.  Not sure what's going on with the first cover -- is that supposed to be the Nonman?  Somehow I imagine him to be much bulkier than this.  Also uncertain about the second one: it can't be Kellhus since he's blonde.  It's not Achamian since the picture is of a warrior.  A bit too nicely dressed for Cnauir.  Proyas?  Love the third one.  Exactly what Esmenet should look like.  Gorgeous, sharp eyed, the background seemingly hints at Andianmine Heights after she has become empress...  Also: weird translation for the title of the third book -- not at all Thousandfold Thought.

Not these though. That third one is supposed to be Kellhus, I think, and it is fucking awesome, if completely unrelated to any description.

--- Quote from: Francis Buck ---Very cool. I'd think the second one must be Kellhus, even if he lacks the blond hair. No other character is really important enough to warrant being on the cover that would also fit that appearance? Proyas I suppose is the only other logical option, as you say, but that seems like an odd choice. And that third one is definitely awesome. It could be a Nonman, as there's almost no description of them in the first book from what I remember, other than that they're "inhuman" looking. Has a very Tolkien-esque vibe.

What Came Before:

--- Quote from: Truth Shines ---Hmmm.  Now that I think about it, I suspect the conversation between the publisher and the artist went something like this:

"What do you mean reading the book?  We don't have time for that!  Ok , for the first book, let's get 'em hooked.  So something really freaky and weird.  Valley of the uncanny and all that.  Second book, your standard medieval warrior, with a backdrop of some generic towers and shit -- probably that's what the title refers to, not that I've read it.  Third book, get some smoking hot chick on the cover.  You know the type: a little seductive, a little mysterious, a hint of danger, just a little skin but nothing too provocative -- the type the nerds go nuts over."
