If someone from Evergreen is monitoring this site, head over to deviant art, search "Honorverse" and you'll find his cover art easily enough.

Wonder what he would come up with?


As was mentioned elsewhere, during their presentation at HonorCon, Evergreen showed some artwork for various ideas for the Honorverse, and some art that was shown was Ghenkis'. Not saying that Ghenkis was actively creating art for them, but that they showed art that has already been seen at DA. I took it to mean that they were cinsidering ideas from all over, and would come up with something on their own with influences from many sources.

So, they *are* aware of Ghenkis' work.

That is a MALIGN attempt to clone a treecat, not Nimitz.

Sent Genkis the pic he commented:

Oh !

I don't like the new cover for tales of honor

the pink/purple version with a strange extra terrestrial creature instead of nimitz

When I make a small mistake or when I take some liberty with details, fans have a lot of reactions.

I wonder how they will react in front of this drawing...


I sent him links here he sent back "lol i m reassured (is it the good word ?' :D "

David Mattingly notes the same about us picky fans.

At this point it's probably just piling on and/or running up the score, but:

What is that mutant hellbeast, and what happened to the cuddly, lovable, deadly treecat?

Probably some saw 'the thing' and was made so ill by the sight that they clicked the wrong button in sheer panic. :-)

Why to I suspect the next book title will be Honor Among Exorcists? With that picture, I expect to see Nimitz's head spinning.

That thing looks like a cross between an alien, a lizard and someones nightmare. Hell I would rather have the demented beaver from the alternate (US) hard back cover of OBS. Heck even the Japanese cover looks better. If Stephanie had spotted that thing coming out of the greenhouse with a stash of purloined celery, she would've run into the house screaming "Dad ,dad get the shotgun".



I'm thinking of the scene from Aliens. "We evacuate the planet, then nuke it from orbit. It is the only way to be sure."
