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 .
Actual art criticism is a bit more nuanced and based on a fundamental grounding of understanding with the medium.
If you walk up to a Jackson Pollock painting and say ‘That’s bad’, literally no one interested in painting will call your statement art criticism.
I think it’s discouraging and unkind to artists to offer criticism that isn’t in some way constructive.
I think criticism is great: when it’s constructive.
That’s when you say what you’d like to make the art better. To issue constructive criticism, all you have to do is say WHAT you don’t like, so that the artist can learn and – assuming they want to make art you like better next time – incorporate that feedback. That’s what constructive criticism means.
