Drakeryn 04/29/17 11:06:26 PM #175:	Okay! This is mostly just a personal score, but it's interesting how much overlap we have. 1. Life is Strange: Limited Edition Nominator: Johnbobb http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/321679-life-is-strange-limited-edition-windows-front-cover.jpg I really like the composition here: the photo taped on notebook paper, the sketches on the sides (that run onto the photo in places), the hand-drawn title, the way it's all a bit ink-smudged and crumpled. Also the colors in the photo are really striking and brought out well by the more muted backdrop. 2. Scythe by Stonemaier Games Nominator: Simoun https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2323719.jpg So you've got this rural farming tribe whose land is being invaded by giant mechs. That's a great juxtaposition. Even better is the farmers' reaction. Most of them are like "whatever, this grain isn't going to harvest itself" and are straight up ignoring the mechs. Got more important things on their minds than a bunch of newfangled machines. And then there's one lady with a scythe (title drop!!) who looks like she's going to confront the invaders. What a boss. 3. Fables #122 Nominator: scarlet https://assets.wired.com/photos/w_869/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Fables122-Ruas.jpg I know a guy who was so absorbed in reading a book that he walked into a pole. Don't be that guy. Don't be this girl either. 4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Indonesian) Nominator: Raka https://sgimage.detik.net.id./user.php?user=media/visual/2017/03/02/c8eb0eca-a9fd-4050-b83d-1f9ba2ad65f0.jpg?a=1 This is like 100x better than the American cover art. Why couldn't we have gotten this cover. Compositionally it's not too interesting -- I tend not to like designs that are just "all the characters glommed together" -- but it's well-executed and I like the detail work on the feathers. 5. Kirby's Dream Collection Nominator: Johnbobb http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/kirby/images/3/38/KDCol_US_Box_art.png/revision/latest?cb=20120729134957&path-prefix=en Okay so I just said I didn't tend to like masses of characters glommed together, but there's an exception for kirbies, you can never have too many kirbies. khal kirby 4 life --- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high <cite>Drakeryn posted [p:878172356] in Jesse Rank...
