When did they turn green?

[Tsotha-lanti]

There's quite a tendency in fantasy art to revert to archetypes; for example, look at Josh Kirby's Discworld book covers. Rincewind is described in the text as young but on the cover looks like Gandalf; Nanny Ogg is described as rotund but is drawn as a stereotyped (thin) crone-like witch. Its a well known fact in fantasy art that average-looking, sensibly dressed women in the text become gorgeous scantily clad women on the cover...

Is that the guy who thought Twoflower's "four eyes" were actually four eyes (rather than glasses), and drew accordingly? Those covers are freaking awful... it's like a Kaufman-like parody of fantasy art. It makes you wince and wonder if the guy is serious.
