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.]

Those are great, dude is talented!
-
Those look amazing!
-
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.
-
The first one is just awesome. I wanted either Som or Quint to do that scene. Love it.
-
Awesome.
I hope he posts them on deviantart. Its a much better place to view art :) .

Nothing posted there yet but I'm sure Somnambulist will oblige us. I already mentioned to him I'd going to make another poster.
-
That second one captured the moment just perfectly.
-
Awesome as usual.
-
Yeah... but they're late on today's teaser image.
Who is sleeping at the whee-
...
Oh, right. Overlook. Smdh...

Numero Tres (https://twitter.com/overlookpress/status/888428493683511298)!

¡Stupendo!
The textures, the mystery....wow.
-
Somnambulist seems to have chosen a theme regarding colour. I like it very much.
-
I always thought this work on DeviantArt was just... okay. But these are impressive, especially the Golgotterath wall.
-
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?

Yesterday's #4:

Updated Hiro's opening post to include the images :).

This one is great, I think it and the first one are my favourites (so far).
-
Number 6:

They just keep on coming...amazing stuff!
-
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.
-
Fantastic!

Yeeeaaahh. So great ;D.
-
Those look really sick. Who's the sorcerer in the red robes though?
-
An annoying nitpick from me skuthula is mentioned a few times to have Emerald burning eyes.
-
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.

That would be something amazing.
-
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.

I know I would definitely buy them, and I have a feeling most if not all people here would as well. ;)

Ha Nice one!! Glad it's my resolution at fault. I said to Madness on Skype i didn't even want to post about it as it's such a petty thing, however i couldn't help myself.
-
Those look really sick. Who's the sorcerer in the red robes though?
Red Ghoul
I believe one of the nonmen, yeah?

Ah I didn't see the filename and the nimil beneath the robes.
-
Filename tipped me off when I was looking at them at Somna's site ;)
-
What an amazing character.

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!

They are absolutely wonderful. The feel, the atmosphere, the textures, as if coming from some other time and place. Fantastic!
-
I'm using one of his images of Kelhus as my screen background.
-
They make great prints as posters if you're walls need some TSA swag ;) .
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.
-
Yeah, Somnambulist definitely finesses small details in there. Overlook's tweets do not as a medium do the art justice.
-
Yeah he even got the eyes right :D
-
Fucking. Sweet.
Now all we need is some signed, numbered editions to come out so I can add them to my snooty collection. And so I don't have to make them myself...Cause I shall, should it come to that.
-
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.

Just contact Somnambulist :).
EDIT: Thanks, littlegrice, fixed Wilshire's link.

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...
-
Yeah... Somnambulist covers, Quinthane illustrations... yeah...
-
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.
-
Teaser images. And you own one of TGO's, no :P?
-
Can I make a request? A female skin spy with a dress, wig, and lipstick... Plus ENORMOUS cock.
Asking for a friend.
-
Oh heck, if we're getting requests in, I just want artwork of Serwa fucking some motherfuckers up with the Gnosis.

Just artwork of Serwa sounds great to me. I really would be extremely grateful!

Awesome, thank you!
-
She seems to just be singing Wards there, though. I want to see her carving through the Horde to rescue Akka, Mim and Esme, or something similarly badass.
-
We're spamming this talented guy with requests now? More Ciphrang please!

Sometimes requests show up on the devianart page ;) . Can't hurt to ask.

Somnambulist knows that creating Earwa art soothes his soul. He can't help himself ;).
-
If we're doing requests, then I'd like to politely ask for some Thelli art, as there seems to be none around (which is a shame). :)
-
The Tall
-
Lmao.
-
Marvelous pictures. I would love to see Cnaiur by this great artist.
-
Is there any good Sranc artwork out there?
-
I think a picture book from these 2 artists is in order - I honestly think I understand the work better viewing these gems.

Great for Avatar pics alao

This thread reminds me of the loss of SpiralHorizon devientart.
Another dead place
