Does anyone know the name of the character on the cover (if, indeed, she has a name at all).

I was just struck by her similarity to Yo-landi Visser from Die Antwoord (or vice-versa).

...until this moment I never noticed it was a 'she'. Never noticed the cleavage. Just looked like an ugly albino creep. Now I'm going to have Marilyn Manson flashes when I look at it.

That's pretty hostile.

Negative charisma melanin-challenged intimidator?

Somehow I can't see hostility towards an illustration on the front of a book as that big of a deal.

Who's hostile? That is simply a fugly necromancer.

I must admit, when I first got CM, it took a while before I twigged that it was a female on the cover...

Anyhow, does she have a name or stats anywhere? I know the rasta dude from the front of Complete Arcane turned up in a few places...

I don't think shes ugly...but I do have an irrational impulse to pull out a handkerchief and wipe her chin.

Heh, I liked the Complete Arcane guy. Much better than the eerie-looking albino mage.

It's the same artist, as it happens.

Hmm. interesting.

If you look at the picture on the Artist's website, she has very red, almost glowing eyes. On the cover, on the other hand, they seem normal.

I like how the Complete Arcane's familiar matches the master, square chin-beard and all. Nice catch on the Complete Mage resemblance. My guess is that the artist very likely saw the picture, and thought "I can work with this...white mice on a female, just give her a staff, albinise her, yeah..."

Robes are comfy. I think we went over that in the Why Robes thread.

And a bad case of constipation. Someone quoted me on this in their signature, but here it is again(paraphrased):


If that constipated-looking baldie stares at you from across the room, gib him!
