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 .

That’s kind of a crappy thing to say.

You could just say, “I really like his work.”

To me it seems like not so harsh ciritisism, perfectly okay.

My complaint isn’t that it’s harsh: it’s that it’s non constructive.

Good criticism offers encouragement to improve something. Just saying something is disappointing to you is really just discouraging.

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?
