This is the background art for the cover. Before I share the full cover, I wanted to give a peak at what artist Sean Bodley has done for the background.
You can find more of his work at https://seanbodley.com/ and support him at patreon.com/seanbodley .
I do like his work, but this one seems almost like it wasn’t finished or something, the details look odd and it just isn’t great compared
It’s actually not complete: it’s the background. The full image will debut in a day or so, I just wanted to build anticipation.
But that’s beside the point. The point is that saying you don’t like a piece of art is non-constructive criticism. I think it’s discouraging and unkind to artists to offer criticism that isn’t in some way constructive.
Since when is it not okay to criticize art?
I think criticism is great: when it’s constructive.
That’s when you say what you’d like to make the art better. To issue constructive criticism, all you have to do is say WHAT you don’t like, so that the artist can learn and – assuming they want to make art you like better next time – incorporate that feedback. That’s what constructive criticism means.
