And more differences will show up on Page 23...
And the biggest of them is, of course, the pedestal:
Interior art:
|
Cover:
|
One would think either the artists themselves or at least the editors would be sure the artists are on the same page when it comes to continuity between the covers and the interiors. But apparently one would be wrong.
Of course, it might have been the case that Hector Gomez, who drew the covers for Book 2, was given only a brief notion of what the actual scene in the interior would entail because the scripts weren't finished when he drew his covers, whereas Jose Pimentel, who drew the interior art, worked from finished scripts. We've seen in the SG reports that many times the covers were done a few weeks or even longer before the interior art was done. But that's no excuse. For the sake of continuity, something Campiti trumpeted constantly, the cover artists should have been as aware of story points as the interior artists were. That's one reason why it might have been best if only one artist had been used for both covers and interiors, as was the case for Book 1 with E. Silas Smith.
