It’s time for Fantasy Book Cover Cliches Gallery 3. Many elements contribute to a cliche cover: concept, composition, typeface, character art. Once you spot them, you can’t un-see them.
The cover classics just keep coming.
A Title of Things and More Things BIG font. Tiny warrior. Lots of white.
Fire everywhere. And the guy is still in silhouette.
Another wistful heroine, in a forest. In green. With green. And more green.
A girl with a dragon silhouette. Badly drawn and pasted together. Nothing fits.
Generic Urban Fantasy A leather-clad heroine, in a misty glow. Gothic and skyscrapers.
The dark rehash of a classic fairy tale. Refreshing twist or cynical cash-grab?
“The Never Done Saga.” Who are we thinking of? 🙂
You’ve got me looking at the taglines now!
“When nothing makes sense.” 🙂
these are really good. If I saw Shadows and Legacies on Amazon, I’d buy it.
Thank you. Maybe if I had the time, I’d write it.
Girl with the Dragon Silhouette. Can’t believe this style of cover is still going around. Just ugly.
