Great Wayne Renolds Art that Dragon would never use for a cover

Psychic Warrior said:
But the point is still valid in that Dragon doesn't seem to do anything but head/torso covers anymore.
Yes and no. While some of the paintings are only of the head/torso, if you look at full image inside, it's often a case of them cropping it very tight. So those WAR images could well have been "Dragon" covers, they just would have been cropped in a similar pattern.

When you get a chance I hope you can check out Dragon issues #326, #328, and #329 for covers that might be more along the lines of what you're asking for. One could even argue that the cover for #330 is a departure from conventional magazine wisdom. I'm not sure what Erik and Sean (our art director) have in mind, but I believe they want to experiment with running more pictures that tell a story, like those mentioned above. :) [\QUOTE]

326! How did I miss this one. Thats a fine example, but then the subsequent ones, while approaching the quality of 326, are marred by the giant type on the covers.

329 was interestingly different, but I'm also looking for more "action" on the cover after the matter of the Wayne Reynolds art cited above.

330 is a headshot, though an entertaining one.

328 is not much more than a torso shot.
 

According to those whiny Dragon editors, the reason they'll never do a cool Wayne Reynolds cover is because Dungeon keeps hiring him to do covers and he doesn't have time to do covers for that OTHER magazine. Personally, I don't really see that this is a problem. ;)

You say that like our cover artists are poor or something. I'd put it to you that, on the contrary, our cover artists are excellent. :)

Well, at least we did not put a robot head on our cover... (issue #115)...

Well... you did put a photograph of a flesh golem on page 15 of Dragon #330. And flesh golems are LIKE robots... only made of flesh. A fleshbot, if you will.

A fleshbot ehh...

Well, to this day I keep expecting Dungeon issue #115 to yell out "I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication"
