Shit book covers Anonymous Fri Apr 7 09:29:32 2017 No.9349574 [Reply] [Original]

Why do (((they))) do this? How can the publishers stomach using this shit on the cover of any book, let alone Ulysses?

Another horrible offender is whoever did the covers of the Wheel of Time series- shit-tier fantasy with somehow-shittier-tier cover art.

This one is actually good though. The funniest are the ones with people who have photoshopped everything. Like they got a body. Photoshopped a different head. Photoshopped the hair. Photoshopped a hat. Then photoshopped the head looking in an awkward angle.

It's not that bad.
But seriously, a photoshopped blue cat holding a gun and a cigarette and a bottle of Wodka, with a hat and a zipper mouth on a winged chair that's in an impossible angle on a horrible wood texture floor with a shitty photoshop fireplace with an even worse fire pasted in there. And you think that's okay?
